It's generally advisable. I'm a bit of a worry if let on the loose.

I don't think I generated any mayhem at Niagara yesterday. Although some lady was shocked when I said there was a limit to the "cutesy" I could cope with.

Just spent about 7 entertaining hours with Margo. Set and Bella joined us for the first 3ish of them.

She's quite the gal.

She leaves for Calgary early tomorrow morning. Toronto will miss her.

@farmerman,
Feeling a bit envious of margo's arrival in Calgary just as the provincial government there has swung (and swung hard) from deepest conservatism to the NDP - which is pretty damn left of centre.

as one writer put it

Quote:
To explain the phenomenon, Toronto-based writer Doug Saunders asked his American Twitter followers to imagine socialist presidential candidate Bernie Saunders “becoming Texas governor by a big majority”.

@ehBeth,
I remember enjoying Clearly Canadian. Is it really a Canadian product?

@tsarstepan,
50 years ago, in our district town ...
Quote:
On 26 May 1965 Queen Eliz­a­beth vis­ited the 4th Cana­dian Infantry Brigade at Fort York in Soest, West Ger­many. Sol­diers from 1 RCR, then sta­tioned in Ger­many, were included in the joint army/​air force Cana­dian Guard of Hon­our. The Bat­tal­ion then took part in a Brigade mounted roll past. On 16 July Prince Philip returned to Fort York to review a Troop­ing of the Colour con­ducted by 1 RCR. The recently appointed Colonel of the Reg­i­ment, Major-​General Daniel Charles Spry, was also present as the Duke of Edin­burgh took the salute. That evening all three Messes of the Bat­tal­ion enter­tained in style in mar­quee tents set up for the occasion.

Not your waterfall, though....

The tour took us to the town Niagara on the Lake.........overly cute!

I managed to survive all of Canada and get home more or less in one piece. My camera, however, didn't survive - it got attacked by apple juice on the Rocky Mountaineer and promptly gave up the ghost! Confused

Now I have to take up the issue with travel insurers. Hrmph!

@tsarstepan,
isnt the major selling point of flash drives that they are really small?
Why not stick em in a brick?

Canadians, they sell us anything they can fool us with.

They shouldn't be so small that they're nearly impossible to fish out of a purse or bookbag.

@tsarstepan,

1I dont carry a purse

2I carry flash drives all over the place. When I need em I make sure I have POCKETS in which to stuff em.

Most all of mine are freebies from clients or financial institutions, where they have logos an colors I have a carrier (like a San Disk carrier) which fits in a briefcase or m;lady;s purse.
SMAller is ok for me.
