Should have mentioned. The TV incident was in CT. Not sure where the
actual strike hit but it came in from a light mounted on the side of the
detached garage and took out the entire circuit. Given the amount of
lightening here I took precautions. Thunderstorms in the area this
afternoon, so far 62 strikes and 1.3 inches of rain at 4:15PM.

I have one as good as my ears can handle. I do recommend a sound bar
for flat screen TVs though. Making them thin limits how good they can
make a speaker. No need to spend big bucks.

Alberta recorded its first tornado the other day which was a bit early
in the season.

You know I was born and raised right across the river from Windsor,
right? I spent a huge amount of time on that side of the water and
Canada's practically in the blood.

Ah! I understand now:-)
It was quite a few years after arriving before I heard the Canadian
"trademark". Then I heard my younger son say it a few times. He doesn't now!

To me as a Canada noob, the Canadian trademark is 'oot'.

Actually, I believe it was Lucretia who once said that 'oot' is
limited to certain Canadian regions/provinces. Ricky from Trailer Park
Boys does it, for instance.

Glad that eye is done and now you know what to expect so hopefully you won't
be so nervous.

I thought it was marvellous surgery, the only thing I felt was a
slight pressure, like someone pressing on my eye ball, but not much.
 
I have been very pleased with the results, it's great after the first
eye but even better after the second.
 
Do the drops, that is the most important thing and all up to you to do
it right or you can undo all the surgical benefits.

Mix chopped strawberries with chopped avocado "meat". Delicious! It used
to be a staple on the lunch buffet table in the Chamber of Commerce
dining room here.

Do you add anything? Sugar, salt or pepper?

I'm not sure. Possibly small amounts of s&p but the acid from the
strawberries cuts through the oil of the avocado.
It's worth a try since you probably have both at hand.

Yes, to me, chili or chilli always refers to the pepper, unless it's
followed by 'con carne'.

I won't touch anything that gives chili or chilli as an ingredient! I
am never sure what they are, but we can't eat anything spicy so I stay
clear:))

I've had spicy/hot food since childhood. Now that I grow them and have
kilos in the freezer, I have a chili pepper with every breakfast. I
can imagine it's different if you didn't grow up with them.
