davemerrillSaturday it was cold as heck so we stayed in. I cut my hair. We watched a 1977 TV movie ("Possession") starring James Farentino as a former priest brought back from the dead to battle evil and star in this failed pilot. Harrison Ford is a sleazy, mumbly biology teacher at an all-girls school where mysterious fires are breaking out while PJ Soles looks on from the background. I went to Canadian Tire and bought a windshield wiper and to the pet store for more kitty litter. Baked some cookies. Got a pizza from the Detroit place here. It was that kind of Saturday.
Sunday we went out up north on 400 to visit some antique malls we hadn't been to. The one on 11 north of Orillia hasn't changed much, the Pickers' place north of Barrie has closed, and the Barrie Antique Center has re-opened as "Sanford & Son" run by a woman who's name actually is Sanford. Nice to see the antique center re-opened, it's been largely overhauled though the corner full of books is still there.
Not surprised the Pickers' place closed. It was poorly laid out, most of the merch was overpriced, the place was half full of auto body parts, if you did find something interesting, it wouldn't have a price on it.
Looks like we're in for a warming trend for the next couple of days, which will give the giant piles of snow a chance to melt. Yes please.
