Sharks on the beach?* Black Bellows is another fine Collingwood based crafter. Collingwood is known for its snow skiing but also has lots of rock beaches, and a major sand beach, that being Wasaga. So we have a land shark with a build like a young Arnold as Conan (the...
555 Brewery is located in Picton and has been around since 2017. The first time I went there was 2019 and they had this brew at that time. It is part of their mainstay of beers, The Judge, The Jury and The Verdict…. There could also be The Trial” thrown in there, but...

I do love me a nice firm peach, and a peach pie a la mode is to live for. By the way, I never quite got that saying, when something is so good it's to die for? I figure if you die for it you won’t have the chance to enjoy it? Stupid saying. Where was I? Oh yea, and I...
The Stanley Cup playoffs, first game. Mid June. Maybe hockey should be a sport at the summer Olympics now? “Hockey Night in Canada”. Or perhaps a more accurate name would be “Hockey Early Evening MST (So As to Attract the Largest TV Audience Who Reside is Eastern Time...
