A lot of people want to think they're invincible. They aren't and being pro-active is the way to go.

I as at a Home Depot in Vicksburg Mississippi wearing full gear at the checkout and the young lady commented "Aren't you a bit old for that?" I bit my tongue so as not to offend her but what was she doing the last few days as I rode through the scenery of the Blue Ridge, meeting people and...

I was told that a lot of "Maintenance" was scaping body parts off the train and tracks. Mentioning the "S" word encourages others. Take away guns and people use trains and bridges.

I was coming back from London several years ago and they had closed the 401 near Woodstock IIRC. An OPP officer was at the top of the exit lane directing people to turn right to the detour. For some reason he told me to turn left, maybe it was pity, but I got the short route through town.

Number 1, check the frame crossmember. They are prone to rusting out and repairs aren't worth it.

One can read the situation several ways. One is "a bunch of lazy druggies are taking over the city" but if you listened to the script, 87% of the squatters were employed or had income. They just can't afford to live in their own country. Somewhat related, that city spends more on enforcement...

When our daughter was transitioning from crib to bed we looked at some private sale used stuff. One was an almost but not right buy and going cheap. As I waffled the lady said "At any price?" She just wanted it gone. When the elderly family next door had to move into a senior's home, they...

I regularly check out Restore A $100 solid walnut dining room table became a sofa table with lots left over. $10 for a steno chair. $45 for a huge Ikea entertainment unit. I added a larger piece of left over MDF to make the TV shelf into desk size. My home office. $15 each got me file...
