Today's Hot Wheels finds from Value Village. You don't always know what you get until you look closely. In good condition: a BMW M3, an IROC-Z Camaro, & a couple of cool vans. Also a Viper and a Pro Stock Firebird, both a little beat up. Also a McDonald's Hot Wheels toy.

NO! This was common practice in the days of writing manuscripts with a typewriter. But has always been wrong in typesetting and proportional fonts.

Even works on a partial postal code.

Interesting feature of Google Maps: Search on a Canadian postal code, and Google Maps will outline the area covered by that postal code.

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

Years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget. Is that really competence?

Today's VV finds: Two I really wanted, a '98 Honda Prelude and a '52 Chevy Truck. Two nice to have, a GM truck and a Ford Mustang. (Plus a few other toys and novelties that came with what I wanted.)

It will get interesting when a Chinese or Russian ship tries to get through the US Navy's blockade. What will TACO do?

(Of course, I'm sure the geniuses in Trump's cabinet have that all figured out already.)

The big problem with SLS & Orion is the massive cost, which seems to happen when Congress meddles with the designs.

As much as I dislike the obnoxious dork billionaires, companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are absolutely necessary to make launching stuff into space more affordable.

I remember tracks all the way to the end of Ontario Street.

The Gananoque Ukulele Players (the GUPPIES) meet every Wednesday morning at the Gananoque Public Library. All welcome! Here are some of them at a recent retirement home gig.

Today's Value Village finds, including two Tesla's. Why do I want Tesla's? It's a cursed brand. Note that one of the cars matches the Roadster that was launched into space in 2018.

Fine! Just as long as they keep it just on their side of the border.

Reminds me of that great quote from "The Big Bang Theory":

Sheldon: You're a string theorist as well.

Barry Kripke: Incorrect. I'm a string pragmatist. I say I'm going to prove something that can not be proved. I apply for grant money and then I spend it on liquor and broads.

The local WallyMart has some fresh stock in its bins. Today's haul, some Honda's, a couple of vintage Chevy's, and a Batboat.

I once saw a cyclist in the bike lane on Bath Road get knocked down by a motorist making a right turn. He seemed okay, but he was definitely pissed off, and started yelling at the driver.

Fifty years ago, I'd often cycle from Bayridge to downtown Kingston. I can't imagine doing that today, considering the current traffic conditions.

I think it's fair to say we all expected more from Isaacman.

Today's Value Village finds: a Corvette, and a Batmobile. At least, I think it's a Batmobile. The bottom just says "TM & © DC Comics." Please comment if you know more about these models.

Today's HotWheels / Matchbox finds. Adding to my Corvettes and Honda Civics. Plus a few more in a Matchbox set that included the '76 Civic. (I once owned a '76 Civic, so I had to have that!)

Today's HotWheels finds from Value Village, including a z28 Camaro, a TransAm, a Porsche, a '70 Challenger, a McLaren, and a Lamborghini. All in mostly decent condition.

And don't forget the error about Trump having a soul.

He was Canada's first prime minister, which is worth acknowledging. But we all knew he was flawed.

In my opinion, the problem was not the statue, but rather the tall pedestal on which it was placed. It should return to public view, but placed at ground level to emphasize that he was human.

It's looking more and more like China will win this race to the Moon.

Canada Shouldn’t Build High-Speed Rail It is still the time in this fair land for that railroad not to run
