Now that it's December, it's time to decide

Boil
Water Alert in 2MO and Ste-Marthe (Lifted)
In case you still drink tap water, you now
have to boil it for 5 minutes as a precaution. Personally, I prefer
the Dioxins from bottled water that I have had in the freezer for a
while.
Check out this important 'advise' from the Deux-Montagnes
website. Thanks Julie for the link and the truck going around the
city to announce it.
New
Two Mountains Guess Who Number 4
Marg Paulich sent me a picture from the
early 60's of a kindergarten class in the Gyro Club. There are 33
kids in the picture and 3 'teachers'. If you are around 50 years
old, you will definitely recognize some people. Check it out and
send your e-mails if you have definite id on any of the people in
the picture. The
link is above or here. Thanks Marg.
Where are they now?
In another installment of 'where are they
now?, I received an e-mail from ex 2 mountainer Carol Marriott
who after spending 25 years in Alberta has now moved to Saskatchewan
where she is and is running a Equine-Assisted Learning Centre and
Retreat called Ravenheart Farms. It looks like a great place to be.
Check out the website here:

Keep up the good work, Carol.
Calgary's
Cutest Kid
As you may remember, a few months ago I

vote for Devlin. The website is

only vote once a day from each IP address or he can be
disqualified. Good luck Devlin.
2Mo
Dukes Rocking On
A
while ago, I wrote about a band called the the Dukes. It ends up
that the name was being used by another band so they had to find a
new name. So, like I did with my website, they just tagged 2mo in
front of it. They played a great set at Canada Day and they have
many of their numbers from that show posted on
youtube. You can also reach those through their mySpace page
here.
They've played the Ex in Ottawa and their next big gig is Boxing Day at
the Drizz in Ste-Marthe. Band member Larry Bisson also asked me pass
the word that they can make themselves available to organizations in
the area that have a good cause or any other event that you would
like them to appear at. You can reach Larry at jimmytheflute@msn.com or 514-781-4564.

The
A-H Team Wins the 43rd SOMD Annual Grey Cup
The S.O.M.D. (don't ask) Touch football
capped off its 43rd season yesterday with a tightly fought Grey Cup.
The teams had been 'picked' the week prior and looked like it would
be a close match. It actually was for a long time. For the first
time ever, the teams were formed by sorting the players by last
name, hence the A-H team. The L-T team started the scoring by an
rookie Mike McKeown interception for touchdown in the 2nd quarter.
Unfortunately, that was all the scoring they would have as the A-H's
scored 3 three touch downs including the end of game, 99 yard
scoring drive that shut down all hopes for a comeback. The final
score was 18-6 and the festivities ensued. Mark Thivierge received
the Mickey O'Sullivan player of the year award and I (Paul) received
the Grey Cup MVP award by one vote over Mark Larose who caught 3
interceptions in a losing cause. Pictures can be accessed via the
SOMD link on the left.
If
the World Could Vote in the USA

You can also learn the flags of all the countries in the world.

Mountains Families monthly newsletter by Julie Laver which contains
a comprehensive calendar of events. When the link is red, this means
that the newsletter is not available yet. For 'official' city

Insurance Board Information Campaign Website
By
chance I found a a website today run by the Insurance Board of
Quebec. There is a neat campaign going on to demystify insurance on
what is covered or not or questions like does it cost more to insure
a red car? The answers mainly apply to Quebec but on that page is a
download of a great spreadsheet to keep track of the things you have
in your home. Each tab corresponds to a room in your house, so it
organizes things for you. The site
is here and the home inventory spreadsheet is on the right side
under the main frame. You will also find the link in my favorites.

Last Friday night at the Tartan Pub was the first Friday night

place was packed as you will see by the pictures and the Karaoke was
running wild......
