POPSHow Is a Hurricane Like Christmas? From the comments: Your home is left in ruins by unexpected company. You spend a lot of time getting your house ready, and then you spend a lot of time getting your house back to normal. You spend more money than you plan to. You pray.

The last picture of the Green beetle unlabeled is an example of a Stink beetle, which is a Ground beetle, or carab.

POPSFamily takes tiny tree north to honour grandmother's Christmas wish Her mother said that perhaps it was the end of the trail. "She was 89 years old, and that was her end, she couldn't walk anymore, she couldn't do it anymore. "So she said, the challenge is on for you to take my little tree to Tuktoyaktuk." Gahlinger-Beaune contacted the Trans Canada Trail association, and the trip is being sponsored by the group's board members. "Their hearts were warmed by the story and by one person's dedication to the trail, and the vision that she actually shared with the rest of us who are working on the trail across Canada," said Linda Strong-Watson, executive director of Alberta TrailNet.
