Ontario, the Name
In response to a search request (actually, a mistyped search request), I present the following:

ONTARIO

The name was first applied to the lake (1641) and is traceable to Amerindian sources. It may be a corruption of Onitariio, meaning "beautiful lake", or Kanadario, variously translated as "sparkling" or "beautiful" water. Later European settlers gave the name to the land along the lakeshore and then to an ever extending area. "Old Ontario" was a term sometimes loosely applied to the southern portion of the province. Entered Confederation as the province of Ontario, 1867.

In other search news, there appears to be renewed interest in Angi Taylor, but I don't know why. Someone is searching for a Krystal Fernandez blog, and someone else wanted a picture of Krystal Fernandez naked. (Sorry, no have.) Only one recent search for "Nikki Cappelli" (a/k/a Candice Michelle Beckman), one search for Rock Steady Krissa, and one search for the Victoria Gardens Shopping Center in Ontario (it's actually in Rancho Cucamonga).

Thanks, Blogpatrol.

Incidentally, days like today demonstrate the drawbacks of the Victoria Gardens design concept. As I said way back in October:

---

The advantage of Victoria Gardens is that it is mostly outdoors.

The disadvantage of Victoria Gardens is that it is mostly outdoors. (It does rain here at times.)

I then went into something about Tammy Wynette or Tanya Tucker or one of those people. But, more to the point, I know of at least one group of people who decided to go to Ontario Mills instead of Victoria Gardens today. As ex-ex-Satanic priest Mike Warnke said, "Stuff happens."
