It looks like it was sent courier instead of USPS. I wonder if they’ll tack on a stupid handling fee.

It started in Texas then California, Illinois, customs

At a Motel 6 in the states the clerk and prospective customer passed a slip of paper back and forth.

Don’t try to stretch the day. Rooms disappear after 4:00 PM

We’ve been home all day and tracking said failed delivery attempt. No notification slip.

And how much new merchandise gets brought in to puff up numbers.

The fight to the bottom. If someone took over one of those diners how much would it cost and how long would it take to make it better for everyone? How much more would the customers pay for the improvement? Some people just like to pig out and they don't care what's in the trough, how it was...

I have a Costco membership but not their Mastercard. I started filling out the form and found the questions so invasive that I declined. I understand the monetary questions, but the data gathering was too over the top. They would know more about me than my mother and the CRA combined. It's a...

A late aunt used to alternately work in a senior's home and as waitress at a restaurant. Her personality was more upbeat when she did the restaurant gig. Hanging around with young people has its benefits. Since this was a big generation ago and the restaurant was at Dundas and University, she...

A&W burgers are good. Grass fed beef and a burger can be ordered with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. The celiacs might like it and I like it for the different taste.

Four months later and I'm seeing some stability in my patterns. Still not getting enough uninterrupted sleep.

When I was doing more US touring I used Best Western along with their book of locations. Ride until noon. Decide where I wanted to stay the night and call ahead to guarantee a spot. The old books used to have prices and although they were out of date, you knew what locations were cheaper. Back...

A friend cut down a regular socket on a lathe using a ceramic bit. BWMs don't like chubby sockets.

I like the concept of having a national broadcasting network but not as an arm of the sitting government.

It doesn't knock my socks off. It would be good if it made CP more profitable but one still has to look at the mail issue being a loss magnet. If only one cylinder out of eight is working and doing the job you don't need a V-8, so redesign the engine.

Other than Politically Induced Stress Syndrome I've been fine. I did a cardio stress test the other day and it didn't kill me. It did remind me I need more legwork. My wife came down with a gastro event a couple of weeks ago and some of the symptoms seemed Covid like but tests were negative...

Could I tip myself at the grocery store self checkout and take 40% off the bill
