Hot Tub Update
The new hot tub has been working well since early December. And we have been approved by the department of health. But this project has been fraught with unforeseen complications and it hasn't stopped yet. We have experienced unexpected problems with the foundation, piping, heater, pumps, wiring, circuit breakers, etc... Each problem required investigation, sourcing and remediation. Each time that happened, it often took weeks to get an expert to give us the solution and then a further wait for parts to arrive. I was asked this week when I thought the hot tub would be open. My answer was ...

Bare Oaks in Toronto Star
A photo taken during the Canadian Naturist Festival at Bare Oaks last August has finally made it in the newspaper. It's in "The year in pictures: the favourites" feature on page A3 to today's (December 31st) edition of the Toronto Star. The photo was originally scheduled to run last August but was pulled by an editor because of concerns that it might offend readers. Rick Madonik, a photographer with the Toronto Star, took a number of pictures that day. But this one was his favourite. Can you identify any of the subjects?
