From “The History of Philosophy” by Will Durant
I believe pens come with personalities that need to be discovered. This pen loves a slant and flourish.

Example of my italic handwriting
Dunno why more people don't sign up to learn italic handwriting. I think it's a lot easier to do well than traditional cursive. The free, helpful resources section of this sub has several awesome books on italic handwriting.

Winter Preparedness
Okay, I am literally two months in Fort Mac today, having moved from a warm country where the mercury seldom dropped below 0, and there was never any snow or sleet.
I TAKE THE COLD IN FORT MCMURRAY VERY SERIOUSLY.
Is there a step-by-step guide on how to be Fort Mac winter ready? Are there online resources? Does any organisation help with this sort of stuff? I am pretty certain that this is going to be by far the coldest weather I have ever experienced, so I am not trying to wing it. I need to be ready.
Would appreciate any advice. Just remember, I literally know nothing. So when you say, for instance, “You need boots,” I really need better data than that, because my first thought when I hear “boots” are regular six inch Timbs. And I know those are no good up here.
Thank you!
Edit: Not just clothes. Transportation. Keeping warm at home/work. Doing whatever I need to do in my apartment to make sure the cold doesn't damage anything, and so on.

Something I wrote just now
Obvious inconsistencies, but generally everything works together, I think.
