January 23. High minus 5, overnight low, minus 26.

Three inches of fresh powder on great ski-doo trail. Brought suet but didn't deploy it. River with moose tracks in the frozen slush .... low hanging riverbank browse for them. Willy's neighbor, John, has cleared a skating rink for his 2 girls .... they were there Friday night under a full moon ... with the temperature falling.

My friend is in charge of IT infrastructure for the new facility but administration is housed in Toronto's old Don Jail .... so I got the tour:
