Best Boots on Ice

by




Here we are in November and I’m still in denial as to what’s around the corner. But denial or not I thought I’d share this article featured on CBC.ca. Marketplace had biomedical engineers test 6 pairs of boots to see which one was best on ice. Spoiler alert, the WindRiver Backwoods Waterproof Hyper Dri 3 hiking boot won that test.

It’s that time of year again; Sunday morning at 2 a.m. move your clock forward an hour. Then there was the time I had no wall clocks or watches, my computer and phone changed times on their own, and it took me a few days to realize we had changed time…

I read that a bill has passed legislation in the fall making daylight savings time permanent. Details to be finalized, and once that’s done perhaps we can do away with this obsolete practice. Well, until then, for a few days your body may take a moment to adjust.
