Dear Readers, this is not about your backyard shed where you may store implements for other seasons of the years, either gone by or yet to come. Rather, it's about the shed antlers of deer and moose that you may find while wandering around in the boreal forests of this continent.
This is about some of the ungulates (hoofed animals) that you may see in the forests. There are three main groups of ungulates, namely those without any "head-ornament" (like horses), one with horns (like cattle and goats), and another with antlers (like deer and moose). In contrast to the horns of sheep, goats, or cattle that are permanently growing, the antlers of deer, elk, and moose grow anew each spring/summer season and are "shed" in the following winter.

It really upsets me when I hear on radio or see on TV newscasts some groups of people dutifully “disinfecting” whole streets by spraying them with “disinfectants” of one kind or another.

If you are thinking about making New Year’s Resolutions (NYRs) to soothe your conscience, I suggest you venture from the beaten path. Pumping iron and exercising on the old treadmill type resolutions never last long before being forgotten and postponed for another year. Be honest now: Didn’t you make such last year—and the years before?
Cannon Points are typically geographic promontories on lakes, rivers, and ocean fronts that were useful for locating cannons that might be a formidable deterrence to any invaders.
Cannons -- Not only for Defense
In times of peace and in remote communities, they were more or less critical points from where cannon shots could be heard throughout the area, to alert the community to important events and news.
Modern science has produced some miraculous advances in several fields. None of the ideas proposed or "invented" have ever seen any device that actually could produce energy out of nothing.
Of course, that idea, commonly referred to as a "Perpetual Motion machine" (PMM) and also known as a "
Fridays are rapidly getting new meanings.
From the common abbreviation TGIF, to the recent “Fridays-for-Future” (FFF) demonstrations, right now, yet another Friday-meaning appears to be getting a large crowd of followers – and fast. Actually much faster than the FFF movement; it’s called the “Fridays-for-Hubraum” movement (FFH).
Let’s begin with an explanation.
For my Dear Readers who may not have heard of the Moose Express, it's the northern equivalent of the famous 
Yes, you read that right, Canadians (and others) should be encouraged (tax-wise) to consume carbon-type fuel and NOT be (carbon-)taxed for that! Furthermore, this ought to be a CARBON-BENEFIT, not a CARBON-CREDIT!
