The leaves haven't even fallen off the maple tree yet, which is very unusual. I don't think it's ever snowed here before that happened.

On the plus side, my wife is now in charge of shoveling the driveway! 11-12-2019 09:21 AMSystemCrashOverRideToronto is pretty and white at the moment. Snowed all day yesterday and overnight into this morning. Not a crazy amount, but the white blanket has certainly arrived.
I wonder if it will stick around, or if the weather will yo-yo a bunch between now and Christmas. 11-12-2019 09:55 AMamd013Ok, don't think this needs spoilers. Just started the Institute, and am wondering what a night knocker is? Is this a SK made up job? Searches on the interweb all come up with other readers of the institute wondering the same thing.
I'm guessing I will figure it out from context later on, but still seems like a weird term to use. 11-12-2019 10:13 AMur2ndbiggestfanKing uses a lot of terms and abbreviations I have never heard anyone use in real life. I have never heard anyone call a cafeteria a caff or an ambulance an ambo or a problem a prob (well, maybe I've heard 'no prob' a few times). I don't know where he gets these things. I just mentally read the entire word over these when I come to them. It irritates me, but I've learned to live with it. 11-12-2019 10:14 AMBrian861 11-12-2019 01:55 PMBr!an 11-12-2019 02:09 PMzeligRandom Comments/Stream of Consciousness ThreadBut I want to wash my feet in the sink, darnit!

Imgur doesn't have a mobile page anymore, only the app and I don't think my phone could handle another one. 11-12-2019 09:58 PMPatrick 11-12-2019 11:59 PMMr. Rabbit Trick 11-14-2019 09:05 PMwizardsrainbowJust turned November 15 here...Happy 19th birthday to my daughter! 11-14-2019 09:58 PMdarkseerCongratulations, hoping she has a great Birthday. :smile: 11-14-2019 11:50 PMBrian861 11-15-2019 04:30 AMur2ndbiggestfanI think I'll start putting up my 2020 Easter decorations today. 11-15-2019 09:48 AMMerlin1958:wtf::wtf::wtf: So true, but you forgot Valentine's!!!! You're LATE!!!!! Better get busy!!!!
Side note: In my family, and I bet in a lot of East coast families, Xmas doesn't get underway until AFTER, Santa makes his appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!!!! 11-15-2019 10:12 AMIwritecode 11-15-2019 10:30 AMBrian861 11-15-2019 10:32 AMBrian861 11-15-2019 10:45 AMIwritecodeI think that's because people have realized that BF deals aren't always the best deals. I've found things on sale in January/February cheaper than on Black Friday.
Even BF itself isn't the same anymore. I remember going out back in the late 90's early 2000's when it seemed like it was at it's peak. This was back when stores didn't open their doors until 5 or 6 AM. It was a madhouse at some places.
Now with stores staying open 24/7 and more importantly the fact that online shopping exists, there's hardly anyone in the stores on BF anymore. Sure there's always a few die-hards every year that camp out in tents and stuff but nothing like it used to be. 11-15-2019 11:13 AMMerlin1958I hear ya. In my family, as a kid and as a, Dad, on BF the women went shopping and the men began putting up the Xmas decorations outside. lol Turkey sandwich's for lunch. lol
You're right, Brian we are losing traditions or at least experiencing big changes. It seems sad that business is leading that force for change. Then again, maybe they always did. Wow, that was deep!!! lol
