Up here we need safety standards certificate inspections only when a car is transferred to a new owner. That makes sense because so many people get rid of cars when they start to need repairs. When those inspections became mandatory to transfer ownership a lot more cars when to the scrap yard. I suspect that it is less of an issue these days, sort of like emissions testing. Cars are made so much better these days than they used to be that they seldom fail. Garages became reluctant to do the emissions testing. It cost a lot of money for the equipment and they didn't get the repair business they had expected. Then there is the annual commercial vehicle inspections. We certainly noted a big difference in the condition of trucks when annual inspections were mandated. We certainly noted an improvement in the condition of trucks after the inspection program. I am not sure how many crashes were caused by equipment problems compared to driver error. There is a back story to the introduction of the inspection program. The US had brought in inspection mandates. Since most of us are close to the border and there is a lot of international truck traffic. We figured that safety inspections sounded like a good idea, so we negotiated with the US to develop an inspection program that would be recognized by all US jurisdictions. Several thousand Canadian trucks heading to the US would need annual inspections and it would be better for our economy if the inspection and repair money was spent here than in the US. |

The big cities and democrat-controlled places don't what to hear whether you are 'sure' of something or not. They create the research programs to make sure these equipment problems don't happen in their places. |

Possibly might be fined in a hospital or similar place, hospital they would likely refuse to do anything for you until you have showered. Big signs saying No Perfumes.

You could live on $14xx too. No nursey jobs for nasty perverts. Sorry, Mr. Kuthe. We Googled you, and it appears that you're a pervert. NO! BRYAN is the PERVERT! Who is Bryan?

Yeah, I learned the various alphabets in school too. There used to be a damned fine watch named "Omicron". The pronunciation that I learned, way back when, was O-mick-ron with a hard "O". I'm unlikely to change my pronunciation, despite the myriad ways I hear the word pronounced/butchered at present. |

I noted that the photos mostly had snow on the ground, and they were taken in October and May. Next I checked out the climate. At first I thought it was a lot warmer than I expected... until I realized that they were Fahrenheit. Their average high temperatures are colder than our lows. I also noted that the photos were taken in the dark. When you are that far north it doesn't mean it is night time, not like our night time. There are only a few hours of daylight at that time of year, and in December and January it is dark all day long. It is much more scenic further south in Alaska. It is more like British Columbia, whose coast is amazing. The climate is more temperate. |

Let's face it, if your niece is able to get by without work she's doing alright. > And now, since this is a food group, a few on topic comments. I rarely eat sandwiches. I eat bread but prefer using it as a utensil for the food on the plate. Flat bread is good. But I am sick of making the same old stuff and want to keep it simple a while, so decided last week to make sandwiches this week. I had some chicken breasts I bought last week. I poached them. Really good for sandwiches. > Then yesterday I hit the markets on foot after 3 days in bed. I felt like crap. I bought some veggies and side stuff - broccoli for balancing, avocados, olives, and tomatoes to round out the plate. I got everything I needed. Then I hit the bread aisle. The shelves were bare. I mean totally. No bread. 3 different stores all in the same block and all sold out. Also wanted more chicken for later - the meat aisle was barren. COVID has something to do with it, of course, but more importantly - and I was not ready for it - there is a snow storm coming Sunday (or so they say), and the people down here go into panic mode every time, and I forgot about it. I was pissed at them for raiding the shelves, and at myself for letting it get past me. I finally managed to get a loaf at a nearby Panera bread shop. It's funny when you buy a whole bunch of ingredients to make something only to find the main ingredient is missing. But even though it was funny my blood pressure was soaring. I have noticed "odd" things, like no bananas for a week, no fresh blueberries for a while now... Amazon Fresh grocery delivery slots can be very difficult to schedule - two weeks ago slots were plentiful.... My corner bakery is now only open mornings, not until the usual 6:00 PM.... Not nearly as bad as at the beginning of the pandemic yet, though.... But I am stocking up a bit more, though... -- GM |
