Big fan of cost-benefit analysis. Puppers, sunsets, cars, motorbikes, heritage, 20th century kitsch. Opinions are straight, with a drop of H2O. Buy local.
I'm a 67 year old NLer & Cdn. Helped my dear mom care for my ailing dad for 10 yrs while getting a Masters degree. Thought I could could change the world at 25. Cries watching movies, but I weep for Canada under

Zuck's been training in JJ for a while now. Elon's been...yachting. I say even things up a bit. Give Elon something like...I don't know...a flamethrower.
@JennMGreenberg
Bahaha! That's always a fear of mine. I had similar situation few years ago, only I ended up in front. After multiple turns, we both were going same route. I decided to pull into a driveway and let him go by...it was HIS driveway. 🙁
It’s a beautiful afternoon here in Bonavista & great weather for drying some linens.
This scene caught my eye on the way home this afternoon.

Blueberry Season in the Village
After an incredible afternoon out on the hiking trails near Quidi Vidi, what could be better than sitting back to watch an amazing sunset while filling up on freshly picked blueberries?

with my beloved buddy, Joshua. There's no easy way to say this, but Josh crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. He progressively lost the use of his hind legs and limbs over the last two wks.
Have a look at the replies. People, I don't care about your points of view and your need to drive them home at this time. Such tweets and responses immediately after unfortunate incidents are NEVER acceptable. NEVER. I wish this 67 year old public servant all the best.
My "package" needed some assembly. Still working on it. This is it...my staycation buddy, my open air motoring experience, my middle finger to gas prices, my escape...my XMax.
Guess this is my "lucky" day. Proceeding east on Thorburn Rd. (in the car), and suddenly from the left, on full gallop, a huge moose cuts across in front of me. ABS working fine.
2/2. Then I hear, “Can I come over?”
Annoyed... I said “Excuse me?!?!."
Then the voice said, “Listen, I will have to call you back, there’s an idiot in the next stall answering all my questions!"
🤣🤣😁🤪
Met Hubert today. A wonderful person and owner of the oldest house in Newfoundland. Managed to snap these pics, including that beautiful wall with 15" planks that used rope back in the day instead of caulking!

LOL! So many people nostalgic over Zellers. It's not Zellers they want back, it's the memories of shopping trips with Mom, spending time together, followed by a meal at the Skillet that she insisted on paying for. I know I do.
Came off the highway a few km before I heard a LOUD pop around a turn. Some loss of control, but pulled over. Plan was to replace rear tire after riding season, but didn't do checks thoroughly enough. Hobbled home (one km), as tire didn't deform much. Guess I'm lucky. 😗👍

Here's a tip I will probably follow myself. Stay off social media and avoid the news for at least the next week. Stain the deck, declutter, explore some trails...will preserve your mental health.
I haven't thanked people individually, so I'd like to collectively thank each and every one of you for acknowledging and responding with heartfelt, insightful, wonderful tweets to me on the passing of Josh. It has meant a lot. Thank you again ♥️
The AVERAGE price of a new vehicle in Canada is now $55,000. Add taxes and interest on a loan, and it's +$70,000. Two car family? Do the math. Let that sink in.
He had fantastic care from Dr. Flynn of Beachy Cove Animal Hospital, but the tough, and I hope, best decision was made yesterday. Many of you know the pain well. Please appreciate what you have...for nothing lasts forever. ♥️
I was in Walmart using the restroom and just as I closed my stall door, a voice from the next stall said, “Hi! How are you?”
Embarrassed... I said, “I’m ok!"
The voice said, "So what are you up to?”
I said, “Ummm... Just trying to handle a little private business over here!” 1/2
After consulting the European model, the Global Forecast System, my Canadian Tire weather station, buddy down the road, and my left knee...I predict metro St. John's will get no snow this week.
I'm obviously not going to be naming names, but this has bothered me the last couple of days. It's the belittling, shaming, and general debasing of the woman involved in the Atlantic Place stabbing. There are issues at play, maybe mental health issues. Bandwagons are for circuses
Well, it's in! At least in place with the electrical, drainage, and hot water connected and tested. Final leveling and counter, kickplate attachment tomorrow, but now a whiskey is required. 😁

When you think about it, it's a very good monetization model. So many start ups and companies are using the subscription model, versus pay once for the product. Car companies are getting into the act also.

Uncomfortable, not at all. Conservatives, like all other parties, have a wonderful diversity. What is uncomfortable, or at least curious, is why you felt the need to seize upon a meaningless, isolated, piece of data to further what appears to be a hate narrative.
