But just not a real polar bear .

And once I've finished reading the magazine the high quality paper is great for the bottom of my parrot's cage.

The iceberg pictures in EnRoute taken outside of codfather 's house are really stunning.

But the giant mutant lobster near the coast off Halifax in the Boundless magazine kinda scares me.

Ok, maybe not an ESA polar bear... or even an ESA bear for that matter... maybe just a stuffed ESA bear akin to cow's ACE dog thingy he has/had (vaguely recall him posting some stuffed animal ESA here somewhere, but perhaps I misremembered)

The paper is also good for art projects!

I tried looking for the latest issue online but can't find it yet. Can only find the first issue, which I had posted its links upthread.

Ace, not ACE. It's a name, not an acronym.

Mine came Monday or Tuesday, but I don't get them until after my wife is done with them.

But here's my question: I've noticed AC goes to great trouble to print "RECYCLABLE" over and over on the plastic packaging. But is it really? It doesn't have the little recyclable logo with the number denoting the type of plastic, and my understanding was that was a must-have to be able to recycle plastic.

I’ve been successful putting it in the blue bin in Toronto. No notes from the collector. Maybe our rules are different. Fits the description on the list the city gives us. I just cut off the address part first.

Recently received the Sept/Oct 2021 issue of EnRoute in the mail.
I never received a July/Aug (or Summer) issue... but I do have May/June 2021 and previous covid issues.
Did they ever send out a July/Aug/Summer issue?

I looked at the enRoute Media Kit and this is/was the publishing schedule, plus some circulation and distribution data.





expert7700 and Adam Smith like this.

That means 25,200 AC MM and AC SE customers.
I think last estimate had been ~17k SE, so I guess this makes sense.

My parents get the mailed EnRoute as 0k, but I guess it is as GAM subscribers. I took over the GAM subscription, but even as a 50k, still never received a copy.

I'm not so sure about that correlation. Not every SE is getting a copy of enRoute.

I got the summer one, so it exists. I got the new one today in the mail. My mail route is notoriously unreliable. Postman delivers when he feels like it. I guess I’ll get additional copies in the Globe......

What I notice is how thin the magazine has become.
