Though it sometimes makes my shopping experience infuriating, I never click on a “Sponsored” result from an Amazon search in the app when shopping for something. I don’t want to reward anyone who has paid to have their product higher in the search results, it’s like giving a dog a treat for shitting on the carpet.
Vancouver is lovely, but really expensive… Tonight I am going to a preseason NHL game between Vancouver and Edmonton, which is further interesting since Tamara is an Edmontonian.
Wordle: four, my starter was ENTRY
Wordle in 5, which is really frustrating as I had the first and third letter from my first guess.
The scooter now needs a new headlight socket (plastic and high temps) which may have been the cause all along. The LQ fridge is working!! It may not have been the new board and I said bad, bad words when I accidentally touched a hot wire to a ground connector and blew the fuse (twice!). I thought I had killed the board completely.
I want to spend time in Vancouver. I’ve only just driven through on the way to Whistler, but I have an old Scottish friend who’s in charge of the midwifery program at the university.
Still no ride, but today looks better. Tomorrow, a wedding of a grand-nephew in. Griffin.

Good morning from the airplane.
I’m tired. Woke up at 2am, needed to pick up my brother at 3, so didn’t really go back to sleep.
Upstairs is very empty besides furniture, basement, well, it is a disaster.
Bob has another week with the dumpster. Tom will let us know what happens.
I don’t have high hopes.
Is any of the furniture worth hauling home? I work cheap!! Just has to wait until after the Games.
There’s just a couple smaller pieces, but 13-14 hour drive each way is not worth it.
Back home- on 75 N
Wow, great work! I know that was hard. I hope you get some rest and maybe a beer tonight.
Vancouver is pretty high on my list of places to visit. I’ll get there within the next couple of years.
Massively disappointed that the Red Sox were eliminated last night. I really hoped we’d make it to the divisional series at least. This was a hard one.
No kid and no plans this weekend. Maybe a trip to Costco!
I will say that even though the weather hasn’t been great, but is supposed to be chilly and sunny for the foreseeable future, it’s a beautiful place. However, it doesn’t feel like *my* beautiful place, so this will be my only visit to Vancouver.
i went to the Vancouver Worlds Fair in 1986.
My best friend growing up had moved to Seattle, so on my visit out there, we roadtripped to the World’s Fair. I don’t remember all that much about it -but that it was cool.
We will get there someday.
Paulie – did you see BRAGs next international trip is going to be Portugal?
I think I will see some of the remnants of that World’s Fair while here.
I saw some Floridians in Buccaneers gear yesterday. They said they were here because the Bucs play Seattle Sunday.
No, I did not. I think Franklin’s international trips may no longer be in my budgetary restraints.
