Canada's old, really, really old ...

Did you know ... that the oldest rocks in the world have been found in Canada?
... somewhere in Northern Quebec on Hudson's Bay.

Just how old are these rocks? ... an estimated 4.28 billion years old!!

Wow ... I can't even begin to conceptualize that old ... and they go on to say that the creation of the rocks would have happened roughly 300 million years after the planet formed ...

It's all rather humbling ... as we humans measure our lifetimes by decades ... most never reaching a centenary ...

Canada home to world's oldest rocks, researchers say

Mouth Spray ...


Did you know ... that they now make candy spray? Yup, you read that right ... no need to suck, lick, chew ... just spritz into your mouth. I don't know about you ... but it kinda' defeats the purpose of a lollipop or a Tootsie Roll in my book.
