November 12 ... and in other news[/B]
This is another great step ... with many dimensions. We may start to unlock the mystery of how Mother Earth got water .... for me, an almost religious event in the evolution of our planet. I'm excited.

It makes you appreciate warmth ... and the effort, care and planning it requires. Plus .... freezing cause the environment to morph which is a factor to appreciate and exploit ...
This is by way of a private topic, Shin, and I wrote you a PM on the subject but the Server 'ate it' without a trace .... so I'm raising it here.
Does the name "Anne of Green Gables" resonate with you in any small way - recognition - as a girl in Japanese popular fiction. She is the original plucky redheaded heroine of books written by a Canadian. Lucy Maude Montgomery was from Canada's east coast province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) and her books about Anne's adventures all take place on that island .... but she wrote them while living in Leaskdale, Ontario, the wife of the local Protestant Pastor.
Many tourists from Japan go to PEI every summer on a 'pilgrimage' ... to walk in the footsteps of Anne ... and eat fantastic seafood ... But I drive through Leaskdale every trip north. Lucy's house (the church pastor's manse) and the original church are both heritage sites now ... and I sometimes see limos parked outside and imagine that tourists, possibly Japanese, have arranged to visit .... it would be about 2 hours from Toronto International airport.
If you're interested in the topic tell me and I'll take some snaps and post them. Unfortunately there's no seafood in Leaskdale ... lots of corm, canola and wheat ... but no PEI scallops. lobster or oysters
Let me know if you're curious Shin.

Yes, MM, please let me see pictures of the Lucy's house and church if it may not bother you.
Anne of Green Gables is known as Red-haired Anne in my country. When I was a kid, the book was so famous among girls that even a boy like me had to read it to communicate with them better but I didn't imagine that they would visit your country to check the location. Thank you very much for your information, MM.
I don't want to communicate with them with it anymore though I might but I am curious

November 21. High minus 2, low minus 12
Day trip alone .... I planned to overnight but there was 6 inches of power .... I'm 6.4 Km in from the highway and there are several ridges to climb .... even with top line Toyo snow tires, the Dodge ain't no Jeep ... I got in OK breaking trail but decided to get out after feeding the birds .... I got away with it, but only just.
Classic Ontario United Empire Loyalist farmhouse, Maude's husband's church, the Manse where she wrote, Leaskdale looking north, end of day Leasdake looking south
