Gotta get out of the cave and hunt down a beast. Put the drawing stick down and leave some room on the wall. Wilma, were is my spear and my favorite club? Quote
ska-T Chitown Posted August 30 Report Posted August 30 At least it will be easier to sort the a-holes out, depending on what they call Lake Ontario. 🤷♂️ 5 Quote

LTS Posted August 31 Report Posted August 31 My wife runs an organization that is tangentially tied to Lake Ontario. I'm waiting for the politics to hit her non-profit.. damned if they do and damned if they don't. I think they might change their wording to the "activities along the shore of the Great Lake north of Rochester". 1 Quote

MapQuest works great and they say they won't be changing. Apple is expected to change, so I'll be deleting their app. Google Maps is already deleted. 1 1 Quote

With you being in Canada would've expected Google (and the others) to use the official names that Canada recognizes for places. Guess not. 🍺 1 Quote

I've done the Renaissance fair in sterling and partied on Oswego but what's going on around Lake Ontario? I'm not sure how serious you were when you started this thread, but if you do make it to the Canadian side, I'd be happy to buy you a beer at any Lake Ontario town from NOTL to Stoney Creek. Maybe a few more Niagara area Sabrespacers can join? Quote

Haven't decided if it will be a big or little trip or much of anything but it is an idea I have kicked around for a few years now with my spouse. Quote

A loop around Lake Ontario, taking things slow sounds like a really good trip! One day as a retirement gig, I'd like to run a Niagara hidden gems tour service. If you're getting closer to pulling the trigger, let me know if you have any questions and I can steer you towards some of the lesser known spots around here. Edited September 1 by JoeSchmoe Quote

Thanks, I will take you up on that when I get the chance. I started the thread as a bit of wink wink nudge nudge but Ontario (region) has so much and is so accesible that I do want to make a fun trip of it. Might be next year but we shall see. Quote
LTS Posted September 1 Report Posted September 1 21 hours ago, Eleven said: Is her org federally funded? It is not. Just fully funded by donations. A decent portion of the donor base is likely to be Republican. Naturally that does not mean they will care enough. But just pointing out how far the ripples from a decision at that level can reach. Hoping it never happens, but given some of the personalities that get involved in the area the organization is tied to I feel it's only a matter of time. Quote

How we all react when a person on the wrong side of history makes accusations that are obvioulsy a projection, deflection, or straight up lie: The best part about this thread is to remind me who's opinion I should completely avoid and how to use the ignore function again 😆 3 1 Quote

Seriously, people have been saying stuff like...every child in school learned the names of the great lakes using "HOMES"... was the very first I ever heard of it. As a kid I just looked at a map, there were 5 lakes....5 wasn't that hard to remember. We’re a rare breed, living on the lakes. Some kid down here in NC has no reason to remember the names. Quote

Probably no longer the case, but back in the 70's 75% of North America's population lived within 500 miles of Buffalo. EVERYBODY used to live near the Great Michigan Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan West, Lake Michigan North, and Lake Michigan East) and Lake Nothing To Do With Michigan. 😉 Quote

Our robot overlord says 40 to 45%. Still impressive. Quote
PASabreFan Posted September 1 Report Posted September 1 Interestingly (and suspiciously) AI also says that figure is not different in 2026. Quote
