The Art of Nonconformity….

I happened upon a page on Facebook entitled The Art of Nonconformity. I didn’t realize that nonconformity was an art form or that it could be raised to the level of art. It’s true that the majority of artists could be considered nonconformists. Certainly all new and fresh ideas come from people who have a […]

Treasures of the Bruce Trail

We went out yesterday to establish a baseline for how far and/or how long we could walk in fairly rugged terrain, before we do some extended hiking on the Bruce Trail. We did this with the biking, before we cycled Le P’tit Train du Nord in June, however we were a little casual about our

The Vortex Knows……..
