Penny for your thoughts :)

 What's the point of living in Sudbury if you can't brag a little bit. So yeah, here's my picture of the Big Nickel. I get out to this part of town about once a month and so last week, the weather was nicer than normal, and I snapped a photo.

I am still amazed at how much Nickel the mines in this city produce. This week, General Motors announced a new deal with Vale Canada Ltd. (formerly INCO) to provide enough nickel to GM to produce 350,000 new electric cars each year. That is mind blowing.

I remember when Neil was a schoolboy he did a class project on the popularity of nickel coins, It was fun to go through my change each week (or was it each day) to find enough nickels to put into his collection. 

Murals for $200 Alex!

I haven't been here for several days but I figure it would be nice to post this photo of a mural  of Alex Trebek, painted on the side of his old high school, Sudbury Secondary. Back in the day, the school was known as Sudbury High School.  The mural was done of course in tribute to Mr. Trebek who was born and raised in Sudbury. He died in November 2020. 

It has a lot of Sudbury folks talking and enjoying. So I am happy to share it here.
