November 5, 2020

November 5th is the 310th day of the year. There are 56 days remaining until the end of the year.

Sun and cloud in the forecast today, and the sunshine continues straight through until Monday.

The Weather Network‘s 7 day forecast has temperatures topping out at 20 with sun for Sunday and Monday.

Meteorologists have predicted above-seasonal November temperatures and an extended autumn season for the region.

Two new COVID19 cases reported on Wednesday by the C-K Public Health Unit.

There are now at 26 active cases, after one recovery yesterday. There are currently no positive cases in the hospital.

Ontario reported 987 new cases Wednesday. The province’s seven-day average for number of cases reported now stands at 972, the highest it has ever been. 78% of the new positive cases are in the hotspots; Toronto, York, Peel and Durham.

Joe Biden stormed back yesterday, after winning Wisconsin and Michigan.

He’s now about two states away from defeating President Trump, and Fox News still has him taking Arizona. Five other states are also still too close to call: Nevada, Alaska, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump has requested a recount in Wisconsin after Biden won the state yesterday. Trump’s campaign also filed a lawsuit to stop vote-counting in Michigan and Pennsylvania. An automatic recount in Michigan is triggered if the difference between the two candidates is 2000 votes or fewer.

It’s Movember. The month where men grow mustaches to raise money or awareness for health issues like prostate and testicular cancer.

Now, KFC France has decided to let Colonel Sanders get in on the act. So they shaved him.

And that gives him the chance to grow back his facial hair to join in with all of the other men participating in Movember.

The Pringles guy is getting into the fun in the U.K. as well.

A distillery in New Hampshire is releasing a new whiskey later this month that tastes like deer. Basically, they added venison as they were aging the whiskey to give it a, “savory complement.”

You can check out their website TamworthDistilling.com.

It goes for $65 a bottle. That’s a lot of doe. *rimshot
