I just took a peek at the extended forecast and as previously reported, it looks like the winter of 2011-12 is going to be remembered for it’s above-seasonal temperatures mixed with about average precipitation. The worst part I think most folks would agree, is the melting of the snow on days like predicted on this coming Monday with a high of 36F degrees. When Monday’s nighttime temperatures roll around it will get icy so many will wake up to icy conditions on Tuesday morning. After Monday’s mixed precipitation, Tuesday’s snow won’t have a chance to melt with a 30-degree F day and scattered flurries. And so it goes. Happy trails!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Over the past year Walgreen's has worked diligently to retain it's ability to provide service to customers using the Express Scripts program–for a new contract between Walgreens and Express Scripts to continue as part of it's pharmacy provider network. If you take prescription medication this recent hit that Walgreen's and it's customers is taking should be of great interest to you.
Despite Walgreen's diligent efforts, they were were unsucessful in negotiations with Express Scripts. Walgreen's offered to make a number of concessons including holding rates for a new contract flat and, regarding Express Scripts’ client Tricare, which is the health and prescription drug program for America’s military, Walgreens offered to contract separately with Express Scripts for Tricare from other Express Scripts commercial business to no avail. And still, Express Scripts refuses to negotiate a separate contract for the benefit of the Tricare program and its beneficiaries–the men and women of the American military. During negotiations, Walgreens reached out and offered Express Scripts an 'ironclad guarantee' that Walgreens prices would match or beat the average costs (per adjusted prescription) of ALL other pharmacies in the Tricare network. Tricare gave this generous overture the thumbs down as well.
Having your own local pharmacy is truly important. Many people consult with and trust their pharmacist and stay with them for years as a pharmacist provides a truly vital face-to-face service.
Folks who are covered by an Express Scripts plan now must change pharmacists, often driving out of their way to secure their medication to pharmacies that unike Walgreen's, do not offer the convenient hours of 24-hour and drive-thru pharmacies.
Of course folks are upset about this action by Express Scripts as it was not in any way done in their best interests. Express Scripts wishes to drive more sales to their own mail order 90-day prescription business that they profit from.
What can you do as a Walgreen's customer 'stuck' using Express Scripts? You can make some noise by contacting your local news outlet and sharing details of this situation. Social (online) media is a good place to voice your dissatisfaction, too.
Despite the loss of valued customers Walgreen's is trying to ease the burden and keep disruption to a minimum by offering a special discount on annual membership for its Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. A single person can join during a special January promo for just $5 or for $10 a family membership enables savings on more than 8,000 brand name medications and ALL generics. More than 400 generics are available with a three-month supply for less than $1 a week! Regular annual membership is $20 for an individual and $35 for a family so be sure to inquire about this generous offer before the end of this month!
Finally, you can voice your support of Walgreen's in a couple of ways as well as staying on top of the latest announcements: 'Like' Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter. Go ahead. I just did!
No matter the time of year there is always something to enjoy doing in the Haliburton Highlands but you knew that, right?
With a cool $200 prize for the first place male and female in the open category, Sir Sam’s Ski & Bike is hosting the first bordercross race of the season. Scroll down and click the 2nd image two times to enlarge to full size and read all about it!
If you are more the indoor, stay-warm type like me you may well enjoy the spirits and good company found at The Wild Moose Pub‘s Single Malt Social. Described as a ‘scotch nosing and dinner experience’ you will experience too, a different 1 oz. single malt whisky explained with each course. I hope they do something similar over the summer while I’m there as it sounds like a great evening! (Scroll above and click the image two times to enlarge to full size and read all about it!)

It looks to have been a perfectly lovely weekend in south-central Ontario Canada, especially for the snow-loving types. The temperatures coming up this week should please just about everyone as they are mild for January but still winter-like enough to keep the outdoor enthusiasts happy. Enjoy!

All extended or immediate McCrackan family at Maple Lake Ontario Canada - 1956. My parents are at extreme right.
The 1956 McCrackan family compound on Maple Lake. Our (current) cottage is not shown and don’t look for ‘these’ cottages as they don’t, technically, exist. In 1956 at McCrackan’s cottages there was no lake-bank to speak of and the trees looked really different than today–way more sparse.
Mom at Maple Lake Ontario - 'front' of the property - 1956. She was Mrs. Peggy (Jim) McCrackan by this time.
My mom took this Maple Lake summer photo of me, my dad in the middle, and my bro at right. in about 1969. I don’t think it was posed but I like the composition, if not the pukey look on my face.
Grabbed a couple webcam shots about 12 hours ago of some new-this-year scenic Ontario spots. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post more beautiful Ontario winter scenes more often! Also, Sir Sam’s Ski Resort in West Guilford looks to be ready and awaiting your arrival!
