Lake Ontario's name comes from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, which is typically translated as "beautiful lake". The Kanienʼkéha called it Katarokwi. Samuel de Champlain called it Lac de St. Louis. The name Lacus Ontario was first recorded in 1660 by Francis Creuxius.

August is just around the corner... book 4 releases Aug28. Soon we will be shining the spotlight on each story/author - eleven spooky, dark, and unsettling tales in this digest-sized paperback. where to order: www.frostzonestories.com/p/issuesbook...

cover features a black background, a b&w photo of park bleachers, with trees in background and a chain link fence to the right (beyond which is the baseball diamond). Maple leaves in various tones of red, orange, and grey, fall and gather in the foreground around a metal garbage can. Inside the can, among some trash, can be seen a skull with red eyes & two skeleton arms and hands reaching out of the can. Hidden below one seat in the bleachers is a wasp nest.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
