The popularity of football is 99% down to the fact that it gives dull men something to talk to each other about.

It's worth checking the small anonymous plastic boxes at the thrift store sometimes...

Looks like my reception of WWVB had a wee hiccup yesterday, and that's why I thought I was 10 minutes late for everything. Guess I'll need my own personal time standard now ...

I've got one of Those Brother Laser Printers. Y'know, the ones that just work. And for a couple of years, it did.
Now it's sometimes printing the top third of a page very unevenly. It's had new toner, and it's on its second drum unit. We're using decent paper. Any ideas?

I rode the finally-open Eglinton Crosstown today and it is *slow*. It didn't even average 20 km/h, and other vehicles were passing us.

Crosstown is finally open and I am 😐
It's years late and many millions over budget, but — at last — the TTC Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown is open today! I am slightly happy for them, as finally they'll have to stop making excuses about why it's closed. I rode a little bit of it today (it was free) and this little bit of dust graffiti sums up how I feel…
