It's going to be a big WOW. Take a look at the forecast. If people can see it in California and New Mexico, you can see it in Ontario, if you have a clear sky. I am leaving for Lake Simcoe now.

Silver capital of the world ... I didn't realize it was that outstanding ... and no gold metal ... at all?  I'm glad to hear that you don't drink.  I'm not into cocktails or hard stuff but I do enjoy a cold beer on a hot day and I like to explore wine, never the same one twice, different producers and different vintage is what makes me curious.  Moreover, I have these small-bowl 80 year-old wine glasses that I half-fill.  Even a full glass will hold less than half as much wine as a modern wine glass.  But as the expression says: there is no safe level of alcohol.  The less the better.  Since you abstain completely it means you are better than me.  But we both knew that already.   

I may head up to the Alvar early on Monday, weather permitting.  There will be no drinking, just birding.  I promise.  The drive up there is very relaxing because there is so little traffic at 5 o'clock in the morning and what little there is, is going the other direction.  Coming back in the afternoon is dreadful ... farm machinery on the HWY, heavy gravel trucks, road demons, construction, ... I'm talking myself out of it,  aren't I?

Thanks for the comments.

It was my UV flashlight. The hat was provided by the mining museum.


Cobalt was the silver capital of the world, not just Canada.


I am not a drinker.

Found in woodland, near the bluff, in the shade, less than 12" above the turf and having broad leaves.  What is it?ATT:  Dr. John
