First of all, my niece works there, or did last I heard, a good job during college.
Next, that's my neighborhood, or a few blocks up from it. That used to be a timelessly and forever tacky shopping center, where I went from time to time to hit the Pic & Save, sort of a precursor to dollar stores.
And then, last, I liked the video.

Cycloptichorn thinking the one word assertion "wrong" is an argument.
That's enough to make a girder smile considering there has been a 15 or more long expensive education brought to bear.
So, yesterday and the day before I was scanning photos into my computer, driving myself crazy because I couldn't get rid of a few white dots in the pics, which I knew were from dust on the glass. I researched how to clean the glass, yep, a little glass cleaner. That didn't fix it, except a little. Did that several times, still dots. So, already I was grumbling. But then, but then, worse happened. In my rest phase, I went back to regular computing and at some point it dawned on me that there was no sound.
So I checked the Hardware Preferences, everything notched to full volume (I sometimes shut it off for sports stuff).
I go online and ask at some site, outlining the problem, explaining details about my computer, and then they want payment for an answer. Sigh.
More rest phase.
Looked online again, and found a related answer to someone else's five year old question - first, restart, and then (other stuff, which I saved in a sticky note).
I restarted, to a nice resounding goooonnnnnnggg. Boy, was I glad to hear that, computer not disintegrating yet. Then I checked out whatever was my latest pick on youtube, and there it was, such wonderful sound:
Warning - start of a realistic scene, with strong music

I smiled at the news from Greece but I'm not sure it's socially acceptable.

The Kamikaze Fly
We left the unscreened window in the kitchen open today. I don't why that happened. It wasn't my fault.
A few very large flies invaded and settled in on the window in front of my computer. I don't have a fly swatter. If I did I would have dispatched them to fly heaven quickly. But I couldn't.
Instead, with a certain degree of guilt, I sprayed each of them with Windex. They lingered for a bit before the ammonia got to them. They fell, writhing, to the window sill. And there they died.
Except for the last one. It flew directly at me and then deftly landed on the lid of my just opened Pepsi-Cola can. It paused for a second. And then it dove in.
