I think Ford would win again if an election was held today and I'd vote for him. That said, every bone in my body says he's getting reward points somewhere like most politicians. Where and when does he cash them in? What form do they take? A seat on the board of mega corporation with stock...

"But I'm a better driver buzzed than most are when they're sober. And my car is new with the handling package and Michelin tires. Besides, my job requires me to be on a tight schedule so I can't sit behind some rube in traffic." Yours truly, S.I.D. (Self important driver) The reality is that...

I'm eyeing my crab apple tree and thinking about spraying it for insects. Without spraying the cull rate is about 50% but I've never sprayed it. A brief read up says spray before buds open to kill off pests that over wintered but leave it alone when it's flowering to avoid killing bees, Once...

Years ago there was a story about a state trooper or other cop getting released from prison and getting his old job back, basically because he had paid his debt to society. We're worse.

1:58 suspended with pay after found guilty. Shouldn't "Guilty" be the end of the gravy train?

Sooooo. What does this do for BC property values if you can't sell what you don't own. Includes Vancouver, Burnaby, etc. A small fraction of the inhabitants, a minuscule part of one percent, owns the place. 1500 to 2,000,000 ratio. It would be interesting to be a member of the Musqueam...

Wouldn't that be "Fill in MORE of the Lake?" Hint: Look at FRONT Street and guess where it got its name.

My daughter lives on a street that has parking on one side only and spots are in short supply. They alternate parking one side for the first half month on one side and the second half month he other side. She noted that the fire hydrants are only on one side and eliminate 3 o 4 paring spots...

mp, GG etc. Those car prices would have bought you a house a generation ago.

Plus the voters have to be re-educated. Nothing is free.

Financially, EVs don't work for me as a primary vehicle but if the price was low enough that a complete loss over a couple of years was survivable I could be tempted. Insurance is a factor as well. I probably spend as much on insurance as I do on gas. The very short blurb I read on the Vinfast...

I saw a Vinfast today. According to Google it's from Vietnam but backing out of Canada. Resale and service costs / value ?

Marie Curtis Park was a good day's entertainment watching the novices. Haven't been there for a while. One day a "Thurston Howell" type showed up to launch his trailer yacht, removing his socks, shoes and rolling up his his white yachting pants a few inches so he could help launch by standing...

Brock Turner, white and wealthy served three months, cops get probation and lowered employment futures. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/standford-rape-swimmer-brock-turner-released-1.3745656 At the time of Turner's trial a poor black non-cop said he got 16 years for the same crime. and justice...

I read somewhere that Nikola Tesla never patented his inventions so they could better serve mankind. However that doesn't mean that someone else can't patent an improvement.

Took a family vacation to Florida in November and it was weird being warm and dark early in the evening

Invent something, patent it, lobby the government to legislate sales. Your problem is the inventing. :(

When the Amphicar came out in the 1960s it was cheaper to buy VW that was better on land and a tinnie that was better on water. $4000 IIRC. The VW / boat combo left a few hundred in your pocket.

Canada and the USA are a century apart.
