Dave commented yesterday that the Dulux paint cans are 17L. We looked at a previous Glidden paint can, and it was 18.5L. Not only does the price go up substantially, but the quantity goes down. This isn’t only applicable to Triscuit crackers and Cheez Whiz spread but everything else including construction products.
DS9
I just completed watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 to the end.
What’s next?
return deposit
I took back the cans and bottles. Some were from home but most from work.
Holy crap. 455 cans! This is the largest return I’ve ever done.
evade, acquire, retreat, or confront?
One of life’s biggest questions.
archives
I’m adding archived “ongoing letter” entries as I find them. I’m doing a deeper search in my computer archives to see what I can find. See “archive” in the Categories to read them all.
I believe it was 2001 when a virus hit my computer, so entries between 1998 and then are likely gone forever. We’ll see.
reprieve
There is a temporary reprieve from recent calamities. Of course, I still don’t know the end result.
Shakespeare said it best. “To be, or not to be, that is the question…“
anything to declare?
Jeremy Hansen left Earth ten days previous with his American astronaut buddies. They took off, presumably, from somewhere in the United States. They just arrived back home yesterday evening.
Canadian Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II crew splash down in Pacific after moon trip
So, did Mr. Hansen have to carry his passport with him? I can imagine a guy in uniform standing on the raft next to Artemis II space vehicle, waiting for him to come out. “Do you have anything to declare?”
headlight glare
Is something finally being done about this?
Canadian experience with vehicle headlights and glare at night
It’s about bloody time.
But, in true Canadian fashion, it will likely take years, hundreds of millions of dollars, and a certain number of deaths before any action is done.
two-faced policies
Donald Trump is a complete buffoon. He says he wants Americans to buy American stuff and “make America great (again)”. Yet, when Canadians decide they will do the same and not buy American alcohol, the United States says it is an “irritant” and wants us to start buying yankee booze again.
Alcohol, ‘Buy Canadian’ policy flagged by U.S. as trade irritants: report
How two-faced is this?! His administration continues to show how unjust it is.
