Late Olympic gold medal in the Sustaining Earworm Jingle category for Canada-Petro Canada-David Wilcox, on The Bearcat tune.

The first 104 days of February are the hardest to get through. The next 41 go by much more quickly.

For everything, there is a season.

My dog -- Mexican by birth -- insisted on a walk just before overtime in the Canada-US men's Olympic hockey final. Interesting...

When your friend in Yellowknife shares news of his local weather and you feel better about freezing rain where you live.

Modern beatitude? Blessed are officers who only issue a warning over having a headlight out. May they become chiefs of police.

Twas the day after Valentine's, and all through the greeting card section, not a creature was stirring...

When your friend sends you a video of where he watched the Canadian men's hockey game from...

Sadly, now a collectible item for Sudburians.

A high sodium+ fats warning should come with Super Bowl Sunday, generally.

Some Canadian Olympic fans are gold medal tail-waggers.

If I squint a bit and flex my imagination muscles, I can visualize what my backyard garden box will look like when its filled with thriving plants.

Some incredible journalists are alumni of The Ontarion, the University of Guelph's largest student newspaper. Among them: David Akin, Drew Edwards, Adam Donaldson, Julia Chapman and Chris Imrie. Congrats to the paper's alumni network and cheers to another 75 years!

Coyote in my back yard is miffed over missing this Groundhog Day that created buzz this week.

Wiarton Willie, if you're wrong about spring being 'just around the corner,' I'd be careful. The police are still looking for you over last year's problematic prognostication.

Mountains, in Alberta, in February are awesome. Snowbank mountains, in an Ontario shopping mall parking lot, in February, not as awesome.

"It's really sad to see January end," said no one.

This day in history, 10 years ago: after 149 years, the Guelph Mercury publishes its final edition.

If this shopping cart could talk, I suspect it would tell an unhappy tale.

A chill spot for an afternoon nap, I presume.

Take a break and reflect on the next 83 days of January to look forward to.

Field of Dreams, Canadian edition.

It's so cold out, some teenagers are considering wearing toques and winter gloves.

Winter has reached a new phase when the snow shovels start leaving prints.

Perhaps Environment Canada could shift to offering advisories when there isn't a winter storm warning in the forecast. Might save some work.

Remember August, when you said:"I don't like it when it's so hot out,"? This is on you.

Whoops likes this weather? Asking for a decor owl friend.

Congratulations. You have made it to the 271st of January.

Coffee is first aid. Particularly on Monday mornings.

January just doesn't care that the Holiday Season and joy were just a few days ago.

FYI, only 357 shopping days until Christmas.

New Year's night owls moving slowly today.

Travel agents don't mind weather like this in Canada.

When is that groundhog coming?

Have yourself a foxy Christmas.

Christmas Eve Day in Canada, eh?

No worries about losing that white Christmas thing on Christmas Eve where I live.

A sign of winter in Canada, eh?

PWHL Barbie gets the skates on. Could be a keeper collectible.

If you haven't the discipline not to pick apples, they prove to be nice decorations come December.

60+ years for this December yard decor at the home of my parents. A great show of faith and a celebration of Christmas.

When the Bear-in-area sign is permanent.

Alex, I'll take posters not posted at the White House for $300.

PT Barnum is smiling at this Canadian Tire offering, at a Southern Ontario Canadian Tire store.

It's bad when you're wondering when spring will come...and it's November.

A 'storm chips' forecast for Southwestern Ontario, as the good people of Atlantic Canada would call it.

Mother Nature as artist: Maple leaf imprints stained onto concrete walkways in the fall

My neighbor already has his Halloween stuff up.

The 'we're all united as Blue Jays fan moment' has truly passed in Canada.

A sign for speedwalkers, I presume.
