Speaking of the Mira, and Cape Breton, Celtic Colours is coming up soon. Anyone going? I understand that besides the usual Cape Breton fiddlers and singers, Archie Fisher will be there. I suppose that somewhere on the Internet the whole shebang is posted.

Too warm here in Canada's banana belt to be thinking about fall colours on maple trees. This is probably the hottest and longest summer we have had since I moved here. Every cloud has its silver lining, and global warming is no exception. I like to look on the positive side of these matters. The folks who sell ice cream and cold beer have to make a living too.

I understand though that fall is well underway down on the Cape, and it was certainly cold enough in the mornings when I was in New Brunswick last month.
