It's costing the government $100K per year to hotel her. No question cronic alcoholism and drug use is often tied to a history of abuse or some kind of trauma (ie. drinking to forget). (I'm not talking about the party drinker who deserve no sympathy at all.) My guess she will get out in 18...

How did the protestors miss that one?!

I rode wooded trails frequently for years at one time and occasionally saw deer or coyotes. But I always spooked them before I could really get a good view of them because of the exhaust. On an EV you will be able to sneak up on them and likely see tonnes of wildlife.

And now we are in a new era, out goes the old, in comes the new. Many EVs now will blow the Hemis away, especially the Plaid at 2 seconds to 100 kph. That's insane and on a level of the old Funny Cars and dragsters. It almost defys physics, how can a rubber tire spin up that fast without losing...

I laugh when I see headlines like this. Like the 400+ hp cars with reviews of how fast they accelerate. Some of the humans on this planet are fighting to get green and some are racing from traffic light to traffic light to impress strangers with how stupid they are. The world needs a reality...

Huh, it's already here. Fast becoming the second language in BC and Ontario, probably outstripping French as a second language by now. I routinely get automated messages on my phone in this language and have no clue how they think it's okay to just carpet bomb everybody, like throwing dynamite...

Reading this happy exchange of the post Christmas Blues, it reminded me of a quote for a happy marriage, "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happily married?" Oh right. Momentarily forgot, you two are not married to each other. Could have sworn you were. Oh well....never mind. Carry on.

Not for Mardi Gras but I know an acquaintance who goes each year to Daytona Beach for their bike week (10 days) each first week of March. One year he get snowed-in in NY state's Adirondack Park and needed to turn around and head back. That was the only year he missed it for the last 25 years...

I will never again deal with those crooks FedEx and UPS when it comes to cross border stuff. I bought a US$250 receiver and they held it hostage for an outrageous CDN$180 extra bucks, duties and their fee. I didn't know I could negotiate like I'm dealing with hostage takers! Never ever again. I...

Reviews say the Hyundai Ioniq is the potential short-term Tesla Model 3 beater. Until Tesla gets angry and comes back stronger. Great specs and range. Looks? Maybe not so hot? Futuristic looking, with pixel-looking rear and front lights in the sense it looks like a cousin of a DeLorean. 500...

Anything to make your bike unstable, ya sounds about right for the East Coast. What some people will do for attention. MISSING NOVA SCOTIAN WIFE The day after his wife disappeared while kayaking in the Bay of Fundy, a man answered his door to find two grim-faced Mounties. "We know it's late...

not pocket change exactly. Speculation but seems she can make a living at this based on her subscriber volume and 5 times a week videos.

The first link is pages of detail for Canada which was very interesting but after 25 minutes I finally found what you werre trying to say. And the claim that 75% is low carbon sources just confused me wondering. It's either dirty or clean, not in between. Its 10% nuclear and hydro which is clean...

I'm laughing. I bought this exact device from Aliexpress about 4 years ago. I waited 2 months to get it and when I opened it up it smelled the whole house up for days, with a strong rubber smell until I installed it. It was about $3 if I recall correctly, it was sold in CT for $20, or ever...

"Pulling out" is a strategic move that works many times but has been known to fail. Or come to think of it, are we talking about the same thing?

Still undecided about advantages of living in Florida and riding all year, or living here and putting the bike away in November? 5 or 6 month's storage in Canada, or riding an extra 4 or 5 months picking bugs out of your teeth or having their guts splattered all over your helmet, clothes and...

Years ago encountered a coyote when trail riding and that I mistook for a wolf. Made a quick u-turn and got out of there. Found out later from a ranger that it was a coyote as they will run away, not so much for hungry wolves. I'm no chicken exactly, when I stealth camp, I place the food in a...

Let's address the elephant in the room and that no one is talking about; is that EVs don't reduce greenhouse emissions, unless you live in France which was the bad boy of Europe because they were building nuclear power plants while everyone else was putting up dinky wind turbines and solar. Now...

My mother relayed a story from the '60s when they visited friends in Ohio and the gathering of about 10 old friends and their husbands shot the breeze and one of the husbands was relating a story to my mother, that someone parking at the mall had a really nice car (and I would say that bothered...

I've taken two spaces occassionallhy when not crowded or park far away, I'm sick of idiots who deliberately ding the sides. But taking 4 spaces? Not a particularly premium brand or model. Now that takes nerves.
