Earth to Canadians and Americans living on the East Coast: IT SNOWS EVERY WINTER!
I’m just going to say it, I think the entire East coast is nuts. How is it that every winter there’s some sort of panic when more than 1 cm of snow falls? People on the news are acting like it’s armageddon. They won’t leave their homes, schools are closed, businesses are closed… Earth to [...]

She was 82, but her own mother, Minnie, only died within the past decade, giving me the impression that Sheila would live forever. It wasn’t just her mother, either. Sheila was a firecracker, [...]
