In Kitchener, the salamanders that live in the Doon South area face one particular threat: traffic.

I don’t think praying will get me some.

I may have to get my self moving and go to the store, instead.

:D

I don’t think that we have any, either. I prefer buying the plain microwave popcorn and then melting butter to pour over it. I usually put a little bit of hot sauce in the butter. After that, I salt it. There’s nothing like freshly made popcorn.

Are the signs in English and French?
