It should be noted that there is a lot of scams online going around. One is an outfit that says certain properties are for sale when they aren’t. I found this out with my son’s help, as this company has my house for sale or rent online when it isn’t. We have had people calling every day asking us if it is for sale. So a person has to be careful nowadays. This company that is doing this is based in Spain. They probably can’t do anything, but one should be wary just the same. Thought I would let folks know. And in case you see this add …. Our Home Isn’t For Sale!! LOL. Take care and stay safe. GW

One of the best golfers of all time
I thought you might like to watch this fellow make history. He has been struggling for the past year or so, but he made up for it yesterday. Just shows what a few of us older fellers are made of.

Sad Day for Canada
What a shame this is. But it is what is happening here in Canada. We don’t want to become self efficient. Our Powers That Be feed off these Pharmaceutical Companies from abroad when we should be doing it right here in Canada. It’s a sad day for the people of Canada.

The Fuel of the future
Now here is a video that my Cousin sent me, of what we should be looking at here in Canada and across the world. Makes a lot of sense for sure, and it is something that will help our world immensely.

More COVID Cases in North Bay Ontario Canada
North Bay Extends the stay at home order in North Bay until March 8/2021. And then they will see after that. I think it is the best thing they could have done. Especially now with the new virus among them, along with it now spreading into Cassellholme North Bay, Walmart, an apartment building complex and a Bank. I suspect there are a lot more cases yet to be found. They should also close the schools down. Truth be told they should have never opened them, as the kids were just getting used to working from home. Kids adapt to what ever takes place. Slowing this virus down is a lot more important than going to school. It’s not forever, its just till the vaccines start rolling in. If they don’t close down and try to keep everyone from shopping there won’t be any places … to shop. Simple as that. Take care, and do what you have too, to stay safe. Even then it’s a challenge.

North Bay News
North Bay is listed as one of Ontario’s four high-risk regions and thus will continue to be kept in the shutdown and stay-at-home measures until at least Feb. 22.
It’s good news that they are staying closed down, not so good with the new COVID-19 Variants coming into the picture.
