2019 Bites The Dust

Just like the scene in this photo, this past year has gone by in a flash. As one gets older, time tends to move faster. The best thing about that... the winters are shorter.

The power of love is a curious thing

Change a heart to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love

Sunday Sky

Sunrise is on the way. It may sound strange, but crude oil is really a form of sun energy. About a hundred to two hundred million years ago the formation of oil begins in warm, shallow oceans that were then present on Earth. In these oceans, small animals called zooplankton and plants called phytoplankton died and fell to the floor of the ocean. As they got buried by sediments, they were transformed into shale. As pressure and temperature increase, the shale transformed into oil and, if the temperature was high enough, into natural gas.

No Stone Unturned

Remembrance Day

Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 1,500,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice.

*****************************************

Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
