If there were six people in the car it's a reason for a traffic stop because probably someone wasn't wearing a seatbelt. There could have been other reasons. If that qualified for a vehicle search the gun would have been found and charges seriously upped. A juvenile would get off lighter than...

I helped a friend clean up some fallen trees at his cottage. Those pieces are heavy

Many years ago, I had a Swatch, sent to me by my S-I-L when she was in Switzerland. It sounded like a dripping tap. I was visiting a friend, and he told his teenage son to check the kitchen taps. Sonny did so and a few minutes later got an earful for not shutting off the taps. It was the watch.

I was wondering about the BP part because I have a battery powered monitor and eats batteries like Trump eats cheezies.

I'm not a watch person but have thought about health tracking, particularly blood pressure. A quick search shows watches from $30 to 10X or 20X that. They all claim to be wonderful. Any thoughts. I tend to be hard on watches, not taking them off while hammering awa at projects.

If the kid pulled the gun and especially if he fired what were his expectations for the bystanders. I read there were five others or around the car and two cops. Only one person shot is a miracle.

Blocking the emergency exits, city route. Bring your own hacksaw.

I took the TTC better way downtown yesterday. I'm sure there's some logic.

I would love it if they put a smaller version of that system on the back of trucks. Then you could see the traffic lights and other obstructions ahead.

I can't get the body cam video to come up, but the security camera is scary with the directions of fire.

The sad part is that the return on investment for the plates is pretty good considering the 407 fees. Which robber do you want in jail?

They haven't learned from the Rainbow Motel shootout of 1991. It's about a 45-minute video and not to be made light of but hundreds of rounds over hours and there were only two non-life-threatening injuries. It started as a stolen car issue being investigated by two officers. It turned out...

1) Put a unique GTAM sticker on your vehicle near the plate. 2) Run through the 407 camera and request a photo with the bill, establishing when the sticker was in place. Any charges without the sticker after that date are bogus. True, a person could remove and replace the sticker at will, but...

Call me paranoid but I refuse to have anything registered in my name in the hands of someone I don't know and trust. If that car or boat registered, in my name, creates a liability the police or a lawyer may come knocking on my door. Presenting a bill of sale may get you off the hook but it's...

Can you still buy copycat plates from China? Copy a plate from a vehicle the same model and colour as yours and run the 407 fees into the sky. The owner of the original plate gets the bills. I was discussing this with the Mrs. the other day and thought of putting a unique bumper sticker on...

I bought some bicycle parts from a guy and after meeting him at his front door, he said the parts were in the garage just down the lane. It was night. It all went well but I kept thinking "This is stupid, this is stupid, this is stupid"

If in doubt, Google the above and it's a quick clicky clicky to find out when your vehicle plate is due for renewal. You can also sign up for reminders. A friend was in a crash, not his fault, and got a $300 ticket because he hadn't renewed. I don't know the details but he's also being sued...

Goldwings see walls. KLRs see challenges

We moved into a neighbourhood with trees and squirrels. Wife: "Oh they're so cute" Squirrel runs off with green tomato Wife: "&*^&%$^##"

I knew a guy in the states that switched from a Wing to a Burgman and piled on a ton of miles on the Burg. It obviously worked for him.
