Missed - caught the edge

We dreaded the coming of dark , yesterday. T.O. was possibly the target of a 2 in snowfall / followed by freezing rain. The front must have drifted south  - sort of falls below the Erie / Ontario L. line .
Everything seems to have melted.
How about Ohio ? Snow / rain or other ?

Mass. seems to get clobbered when the front swings off to the NE. How about you ?

From the TorStar : Gum sales fall by 11 %. The 2 most popular brands , Orbit and Trident led the drop in sales.
Possible reasons are greater choice in chewables and a swing away from the hygienic reasons for chewing gum in advertising.

Residents in S. Ont were asked to be on the look out for meteoritic residue from a cosmic visitor. The area of possible concern is so large that scientists were asking hikers / walkers etc to keep an eye out

The Canadian $ fell below 90 cents U.S. Crap on a cracker !
We're still going south , more the fool us.

There is movie starting in the theatres ' Divergent '. D the movie is getting write-ups in the paper. We , most likely will only see D the movie on DVD in home. The title seems intriguing  , to me , b/c it sounds Sci- Fi ish.

By the numbers this week end is ' Crap on a Cracker ' . To wit , the number of displaced / injured / migrating Syrians. data on children being affected are highlighted. not good.

BtN Pt II: millenials ( born in the 80 's ) cf baby boomers
 - more likely to distrust people , sounds smart to me

- less likely married by 26 , pure intelligence there

- less religious affiliation , part of a trend since the 70 's

- 55 % have posted a selfie

The Hop faces Virginia to-day. Va is ranked 9 and JHU 8 , and I hope that isn't the score.
Coach P from JHU said ' based on practice , I couldn't believe what I saw last Saturday '. 
Fingers crossed fellow Blue Jay-ites.

  1. No snow yet, yesterday was pretty nice here but today felt cooler. I hear that we'll have one last blast of wintery whitness mid-week, but I'm thinking that old man winter is on the run.

    All I have is hope
