Kodak said it was back in the 1800s:
Just press the button – we do the rest.
The camera ads today describe how easy digital technology has made photography.
Yes and no.
A top-of-the-line film camera had a forty-some page instruction manual with lots of white space.
My digital camera instruction manual one hundred and forty-three pages, and very little white space.
Ouch.
"The Neighbour's Cat" is not my neighbour's cat, but is a cat from the neighbourhood of Jon & Bob, owners and operators of The B & B at 142 Rideau in Merrickville, Ontario. As the story goes, the cat has adopted Jon & Bob, (probably as much because the food is better and more readily available) and lives on the veranda three out of four seasons. As the cat does not have the run of the house, it goes home when the temperature drops below its comfort zone. Like Jon & Bob, the cat is an amiable friendly sort of creature. They are well suited to each other's company.

"The Fourth Chute, 8 km east of Eganville, is one of five spectacular waterfalls on the Bonnechere River. The Chute is the site of the Bonnechere Caves. The limestone caves were carved out by water after the last ice age about 10,00 years ago. The Bonnechere River travels 145 km from its source in Algonquin Park to the Ottawa River at Castleford. The Bonnechere River, while the smallest of the major tributaries of the Ottawa River, drains an area half the size of Prince Edward Island. This watershed provides productive farmland, substantial forests, and scenic landscape along its course. The river has many calm stretches, with intermittent rapids and waterfalls. Log drivers built chutes around these obstacles, and later dams were built to produce hydroelectricity."
