Torontocerus and other STUFF

We have not been their yet, but hope to go this summer - to the new addition of the Royal Ontario Museum.

The Torontocerus.... an extinct species of deer, of which only one example exists was found excavating a TTC Subway line in the West End. About the size of a cariboo, his antlers do not resemble any other known deer.

For 100 years, Casa Loma has sat just a short, steep ridge away from the intersection of Spadina and Davenport roads, and gazed out over downtown Toronto. But, at one time, the view looking south from what is now the castle grounds would have been all water as far as the eye could see; in the very late Pleistocene epoch, Davenport was the beach above vast Lake Iroquois.

Where we live would have been Lake Iroquois and our back yard garden needs soil as the sand is really showing thru.
