Like every stage in life, it has its pros and cons.

I am an old person.

Most northern communities have a concentration of people and then it’s a long way to go to get to the next community. So, there’s a bunch of short drives and the occasional long drive.

I’d really love to see how one of these does here in Northern Canada. There are almost no electric vehicles here because of the performance of batteries in the long, cold winter.

It’s the internet. What do you think?

We play speed Uno. If you have the identical card as the card that’s played, you can lay it down if you get it to the pile before the person whose turn it is lays down theirs. Play then continues from you.

In the U.S., the letter Z is pronounced zee. The rest of the English-speaking world pronounces it zed. Thus the difference.

Many companies like websites, tv, radio, etc. depend on the revenues from advertisers to pay their workers and expenses. If they didn’t have that, everything would likely turn to susbscription or a regular pleading for money so they could continue.

Yes. I have a strong opinion on the subject and have shared it extensively among my close friends.

Canada. You don’t pay for a broken arm or a checkup. You only pay for things like physiotherapy or massage. Dentisit is covered if you’re old, young, or not making much money. Pharmacy is covered (with a small fee) if you’re old. The emergency room works on a triage system so, if you’re not seriously sick, you’ll probably wait a long time. There are long wait times for specialists in some areas. I can’t speak for everyone, but the care my extended family and I have received has been excellent.

Aren’t they pronounced the same?

Bullwinkle and Rocky

It’s too bad we can’t get animals (including ourselves) to hold it all day then dispense it into a fuel tank for home use.

Where would you rate them in comparison to the disinformation coming out of the U.S. government?

Get perspective. We are living in one of the best times in the history of the human race. Tell me a time before 1950 going back 300 000 years that you’d rather live in.

You mean like Google?

Ban online gambling.

Charles Schultz once said, “There are three things that people like to just sit and watch: softly falling snow, an open fire, and a Zamboni driving around a rink.”

Nice. They’re pretty skittish around here. Hard to get a good picture.

This feels like an ad.
