Too cold for me. Didn’t used to be but is now.

T’was a month before Christmas, And all through the town, People wore masks, That covered their frown. The frown had begun, Way back in the Spring, When a global pandemic Changed everything. They called it Corona, But unlike the beer, It didn’t bring good times, It didn’t bring cheer. Contagious and deadly, This virus spread fast, Like a wildfire that starts, When fueled by gas. Airplanes were grounded, Travel was banned, Borders were closed, Across air, sea and land. As the world entered lockdown, To flatten the curve, The economy halted, And folks lost their verve. From March to July, We rode the first wave, People stayed home, They tried to behave. When summer emerged, The lockdown was lifted, But away from caution, Many folks drifted. Now it’s November, And cases are spiking, Wave two has arrived, Much to our disliking. Frontline workers, Doctors and nurses, Try to save people, From riding in hearses. This virus is awful, This COVID-19, There isn’t a cure, There is no vaccine. It’s true that this year, Has had sadness a plenty, We’ll never forget, The year 2020. And just ‘round the corner, The holiday season, But why be merry ? Is there even one reason ? To decorate the house, And put up the tree, When no one will see it, No-one but me. But outside my window, The snow gently falls, And I think to myself, Let’s deck the halls ! So, I gather the ribbon, The garland and bows, As I play those old carols, My happiness grows. Christmas ain’t cancelled, And neither is hope, If we lean on each other, I know we can cope. By: Shawna Hickling, Calgary, AB, Canada

Not all that generous really, I have this shop to work in, and the tools to do the work, all costing me nothing extra. It needs to be used to earn it's keep, and if somebody supplies the coffee then it's 'money in the bank' so to speak. It may not be much I suppose, but it's more than double of what I got yesterday.

They got things all wrong here. Weather has been great for riding but deer season is in. Warm weather has the deer hidden and hunting not so good. Season ends tomorrow and temps dropping now and snow Monday just when we have time to ride. Did get one decent deer

You should not have retired!!!!!!!! Weren't you told that by a great number of experienced out-of-workers. You should have listened more closer.

It seems to be that the government has changed the rules somewhat. 5 deg c used to be quite ride-able, but since the change of who's in charge a few years ago it seems that 5 deg c is somewhat colder, fact is, it's too cold for me to ride. Time we get somebody in charge who could fix that.

Went for 2 hour ride today! One side of main street said it was 3deg c (37deg f) and the other said 5deg. Was a little windy . People asked if my heated clothes kept me warm and I informed them that I don't have them.
