Is that junk news in 2000? So strange, when Judges' library was loading up new cases on our court web site in 1997.

That was a good fortune cookie. Most fortune cookie sayings aren't that profound.

If I have time in Toronto, to try a fusion brunch = 2 meals for me.

Sat. lunch with another different friend at Italian restaurant. Just hope place won't be overbooked since they have a good lunch deal. I might hear what she thought about ABQ, NM since she was there last month, for several days on a conference re indigenous health care / service delivery. Probably bike some more. Today was windy and cold but a short, fitness ride.

I'm sorry for loss of another TDF enthusiast and friend. That seemed fast since you thought she would be going into hospice soon.

I find I have to pay attention for safety purposes, when riding in a group, especially with cyclists who I don't know at all. It's fun to do a small group ride 1-2 times/ yr. Last time I went in a group was um.....maybe 6 yrs. ago. However it's enough to ride with 1 other person. Otherwise, cycling solo. Unbelievably quite a number of women I know, will not bike alone far...even locally. They know their bike. But they are in the city and hence, will always to get home if bike breaks down. One is allowed on LRT train line with bike, to get closer to home. It's not as if they are totally isolated.

@MickinMD Hope you use up the canned beans. Have you tried frozen beans? I use fresh which means I won't be having them until summer. In mean time, other fresh green veggies. I rarely have salads ..instead fast stir-frying/sauteeing for dishes or steaming.

Methinks you know some of this, like all of us:

From Carl Jung, the psychiatrist and pyschoanalyst: We can wrestle over this or not really worth it. “The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, the world will tell you.” “If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.” “Everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves.”

Mon.- 7 km. cycling Tues.-Wed. - 4 km. walking (it snowed) today- 7 km. cycling

It occurred to me that mama duck carries alot of weight and bulk before laying those eggs. Ahh...the plight of mothers. She has to lay those eggs before she gets a back-ache or she can barely fly.

What type of baby birds do you think?

I agree --there is nothing to be gained to ride side by side, especially 2 adults on the road. If those cyclists were trying to assert themselves, they have it wrong.

I like just touch of milk in Earl Grey, Chai (which always has some milk) and many other black teas. I find black tea has a "harder" /stronger "dark" taste on my palate. Yes, probably a British carryover.. I grew up tasked to make a pot of tea for us kids with orange pekoe tea and enough milk to dilute the caffeine for us kids. Green tea does not require milk (to me) because is a vegetative taste..which is why some people haven't learned how to like it. It tastes "healthier" to me.

I drink green tea in evenings, when I have green tea at home. No sugar nor milk of course for that type of tea.

wiki: (There really is a Quebecois culture...) Poutine (Quebec French: [put͡sɪn] ⓘ) is a dish of french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. It emerged in Quebec, in the late 1950s in the Centre-du-Québec region, though its exact origins are uncertain and there are several competing claims regarding its invention. For many years, it was used by some to mock Quebec society.[1] Poutine later became celebrated as a symbol of Québécois culture and the province of Quebec. It has long been associated with Quebec cuisine, and its rise in prominence has led to its growing popularity throughout the rest of Canada. .... Development[edit] Poutine was consumed in small "greasy spoon" diners (commonly known in Quebec as cantines or casse-croûtes), pubs, at roadside chip wagons (commonly known as cabanes à patates, literally "potato shacks"), and in ice hockey arenas.[1] For decades, it remained a country snack food in Quebec's dairy region, due to the narrow freshness window of cheddar cheese curds.[10][13] In 1969, poutine was brought to Quebec City in Ashton Leblond's food truck (a business which grew into the Chez Ashton fast-food chain).[14] In the early 1970s, La Banquise began serving poutine in Montreal,[15] followed by the Burger King chain in 1983. Others that followed used inferior cheese and the dish's reputation declined. Poutine was largely perceived as an unsophisticated backwoods creation or unhealthy junk food[16][10] to be consumed after a night of drinking.[17] Montreal chefs would make poutine to feed their staff but had not dared to put it on their menus. In the 1990s, attempts were made to elevate the dish by using baked potatoes and duck stock. In November 2001, Martin Picard of bistro Au Pied de Cochon began serving a foie gras poutine which was praised by customers and food critics.[18] This influenced chefs in Toronto and Vancouver to feature poutine on upscale menus.[19 ................................... In politics[edit] In a Talking to Americans segment on the Canadian mock television news show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, during the 2000 US election, comedian Rick Mercer posed as a reporter and asked US politicians what they thought of "Prime Minister Jean Poutine" and his endorsement of George W. Bush for president. (The Prime Minister of Canada at the time was Jean Chrétien.) None of the interviewees noticed the insertion of "Poutine" and Bush pledged to "work closely" with Mr. Poutine.[67][128][129] A few years later, when Bush made his first official visit to Canada as president, he joked in a speech, "There's a prominent citizen who endorsed me in the 2000 election, and I wanted a chance to finally thank him [...] I was hoping to meet Jean Poutine." The remark was met with laughter and applause.[130]

I guess enough people didn't used to get blood-tested or maybe you're part of a corporate medical study which is why they are paying you for the blood tests.

@Randomguy I posted the little video in another forum where people are getting so heated up about our govn't and taxes. And these are people who earn decent salaries and many own and live in homes. I told them they need to sometimes lighten up. Gawd. That's why I like SQW.

Very cute and fun.

Milk in my coffee or black tea (never green tea). No sugar. I drink several cups daily. I stopped putting sugar in either when I was 21 yrs. I suddenly decided that and it has stuck since.

Now AI could be used in certain areas of investigative work --provided conclusion for identifying culprit(s) is tested by humans also. For instance throwing in and auto-searching through reams of digital video clips and programming software to auto-identify car meeting xx image with xx license plate at GIS location, would save many days of human screening of chunks of video footage.

They are still figuring it out 'cause some of it was melted to give in exchange for guns from the U.S.

@ChrisL see this!

Yea, sure. Beavertails are deep-fried. Totally different. North Americans have a tendency to take delicate European or Asian dishes and make it oiler/fatter/more sugary/heavier in taste. We put a heavier bombastic boot on the dish.
