Good Morning #Canada
Summer is over, and this morning, approximately 5.5 million primary and secondary Canadian students go back to school. Lunches are packed, stylish new backpacks have a light load, and sneakers are fashionably untied. Stay alert for school busses, crosswalks, and that speed camera newly installed outside your local school. Yes, it's hectic today as you relearn how to get your kids out the door on time. Enjoy the change of pace because soon you'll be shoveling snow.

Good Morning #Canada
I don't want to alarm you but... #WinterIsComing. That means it's time to start thinking about installing your #SnowTires because I don't want you behind me on a slippery slope if you're not prepared. Outside of Quebec, where winter tires are mandatory, over 76% of Canadians are putting on the special rubber to protect themselves and others. Atlantic Canada leads with 94% using winter tires, and tropical Saskatchewan and Manitoba have the lowest usage at 64%. But you need to be alert because 31% of Canadians surveyed say they won't buy or replace their snow tires because of affordability. The friendly rotund Michelin Man recommends that every vehicle should have snow tires from December 1st to March 15th. Why would he lie to us.
#CanadaIsAwesome #Snowmageddon
When the temperature is consistently below 10°C
November 1st
Like everyone else, the day after the first significant snowfall
All Season tires are fine
Snow Tires are a scam, a conspiracy imposed on us by capitalist rubber and insurance oligarchs

One of the chores I hate most is painting. It's at least top 3. But I'm continuing work on my man cave, which eventually will contain my ##GolfSimulator. I'm hopeful that I'll finish in the next month and get serious about reducing that 20-ish handicap. New exterior double doors will be installed next week, removing the overhead garage door, and electrical work at the end of October that includes installing an electric heater.

Good Morning #Canada
Today, we celebrate the #FallEquinox, not to be confused with the Chevy Equinox, which is an entirely different thing. The Fall Equinox means summer is officially over, and some of you missed 3 weeks of nice weather when you gave up back on Labour Day. Right now, day and night are roughly equal, more or less, across Canada, but our days are getting shorter for the next several months, until December 21st-ish. Start thinking about snow tires and Christmas shopping because the calendar moves quickly this time of year. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, please ignore this message.
Some bonus content - your Fall 2025 #Horoscope. It's from the CBC, our national news service, so you know it must be accurate. I read mine (Virgo) several times and haven't got a clue what it means. So I've got that going for me.
