Post summary:Planning a long weekend (4 days) this summer. I will leave my young children with their older brother and his wife, so if possible, we want to stay within driving distance of Barrie. I hope to get some suggestions on where to go and what to do! A few years ago, we spent three nights at Niagara-on-the-Lake and had a great time. Before our young children were born, we took a trip to Europe and loved it. We especially enjoyed going to different places and seeing the scenery. We

Original title:Rats!
Post summary:I've lived in Barrie/Holly for 26 years and never seen a rat. This year? They seem to be all over my neighborhood. My neighbors and I have caught them at bird feeders, climbing fences, digging tunnels in the garden. I'm worried they'll break into my house. Where do they come from? How do we get rid of them?

- Last summer, we had this happen in the north end. Remove all food and water sources around the house. Everything must go. Empty anything that collects water after rain. Pick up all dead fruit then. You can buy TomCat brand traps at Canadian Tire. Wear nitrile gloves when handling to remove as much scent as possible. Place them facing the fence without bait for a while. Rats are curious and will notice anything new. Once (9)

EN: We had crummy neighbors that stockpiled garbage in their garage as they didn't use the green bin. They thankfully moved, but we had to stop birdfeeders, composting, clean the BBQ every week etc all over the neighborhood - I'm also in the Holly area, near the cliffs at the west end of Mapleton area. About five years ago, our neighbors regularly fed bread and nuts to the birds. But it did fuel the rat population. Those damn things would walk right past us, within a few feet, and didn't even want to hide! Finally, someone asked the neighbors about the rats and convinced them to stop distributing food and switch to bird feeders. It took months, and I finally stopped seeing them. I guess they had a food source nearby. Take it (3)

I don't have a boat and don't have much water experience, so I can't go there myself to try to pull it out - Saturday is

- You're looking for a woodcut/engraving style tattoo. Silas (@foxtowntattoos) in Bracebridge does a lot of work in this style.
