Town day today, ptuii





When I got home there was a call from the Ontera manager that looks after the tower, she said they were busy testing the network. Meaning the dishes on the towers that send the signal back and forth to Gowganda. This is part of the larger network, the testing in town will begin when this is all finished. They don't want to start it all up and find out problems with it. When all this is done they will test within Gowganda and from there Ontera installers will be setting up individual houses in town that want the hispeed. Still no final date for that but it can't be that far away.

Another rather unique flower today called Perennial Cornflower, Mountain Cornflower, Bachelor's Button, Montane Knapweed. I had tried to identify it but couldn't but sent an email to Andy Fyon of Andy's Northern Ontario Wildflower at http://www.ontariowildflower.com/ who agreed to take a look at the pictures and picked it off right away. You have to check out his site it is great and full of information on flowers and the sites they prefer.

Originally from Europe it has found its way here and is even classified as a weed in the Ontario Weed ID Book.
