Reader Notes

This newsletter will take a pause for two issues while I battle Algonquin Park's biggest lake, Lake Opeongo, which, at least today and possibly tomorrow, will be roiled by the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. It's no time to be camping on Opeongo but my travelling companion, my daughter, insists. Buoyed by her enthusiasm, away we go! See you, then, on Sunday (I hope!)
