Its been a long time since I last posted, I am pleased to see you have kept the site going Smokester.

It's nice to see you among the living, drago.  Hope all has been well with you and that you will visit more often.

It is nice to see you around, drago. As I recall you're a Brit and even a Londoner if I remember correctly.

Hello drago:) it's been a long time

Yep.  Appropriating language from the indigenous peoples.  Algonquin in this case.
"The first maps of the area used the word Ottawa, derived from the Algonquin word adawe ("to trade", used in reference to the area's importance to First Nations traders), to name the river." (Wikipedia entry on Canadian capital city and adjacent river.)  The Illinois town was named for its function as a trading post on the IL river. Illinois is also named after the local tribes who originally inhabited the area.

So, both cities were named for proximities to rivers and trade.  I expect the locals would have been content had Europeans simply stayed home.  But then your ancestors would have been stuck with our great great great grandparents or something like that.  Clearly, I have too much time on my hands these days.

Six, this was brilliant history, I totally missed it the first time.

Now that my tolerance to alcohol has vanished since my drastic reduction in consumption, I feel that I should go into training for Monday when the pubs reopen.

Brandy it is then!

When the pubs open we can only sit outside and we've had snow this week. That'll sort the men from the boys.

Oh yeah.  But it's not too much, barely sitting on the ground but it tends to be so slushy and muddy here. 
What's to be a concern is the possible freeze tonight and tomorrow night, it would put a damper on or kill the outdoor plants... hopefully most people were up to date on their almanac studies, stayed safe and didnt plant yet.

updating passwords. Edge now warns you if your password has been compromised.

mine was apparently compromised on eight sites. This one was included. I don't think it's a real breach, but I updated my password anyway.

I hate rotating passwords.
