The Bruce Trail
(https://www.inghams.co.uk/walking-holidays/insider-guides/happiest-walks)
The main trail path stretches for over 550 miles and runs along the Niagara escarpment in southern Ontario between Niagara and Tobermory. The main trail is more than 890 km (550 mi) long and there are over 400 km (250 mi) of associated side trails. The trail mostly follows the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, one of the nineteen UNESCO World Biosphere Reserves in Canada.
The Bruce Trail provides access to multiple side trails (which cover an additional 250 miles to the main trail), waterfalls, and scenic vistas where visitors can explore the natural surroundings of southern Ontario.

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
August 31. The Canadiana feature about Emily Carr was most interesting, some one I knew of but didn't know very much about.
-- David Werrett, E-club of Canada One, District 5370
September 3. Great article on global water use and I really enjoyed the video on pollinators. Maybe supporting pollinators and local groups working to increase the number of pollinators is an area our club could become active in.
-- Patrick Gibson, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Tsuchinshan-ATLAS
And below, Rotarian David has sent us a photo
and explanation
This is a photo of comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (also called C/2023 A3 and Comet A3) taken from our yard on Monday evening. After making its closest approach about 71 million kilometres from Earth, it won't return for another 80,000 years — assuming it survives the trip.
The bright lights in the bottom right are the Cochrane Extraction plant where they extract ethane, propane, butane, and Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) and then the natural gas goes on to California. The bright yellowish light in the centre is a farm light.
This was taken with my Samsung S23 phone.
Thank you, David!
Humour
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That’s what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
