This time of the year (well when there is snow that is…) it is your resposibility to maintain your sidewalks.  How frustrating that is when you try and go for a walk – you’re faced with the challenges of ice and snow.  Now trust me I KNOW about snow removal – I live on a corner lot and get my fair share of snow removal.  You can be facing a fine for not maintaining the walks.  I pity the mail carriers that are faced to ance the ice road two step while theyn try and do their jobs.  Get off your butts and clean the walks!

Scan it yourself at the checkout. Boy by the time you go through and finally get things scanned, then have to have an attendant come over and help anyway – I remember standing in line but at least you had a clerk taking care of you. I guess I am just gettin older and grumpier but…. seems every time I see people at that scanner – ultimately Somone has to come to their aid and enter a magical code or just show them where the button is!  It is amazing what technology has done to the work force.

I get a kick when you see car dealers advertising the mileage in MPG or Miles Per Gallon.  Then there’s always the ‘Imperial Gallon” or “US Gallon”.  Oh please…. Canada has been on the metric system since the 1970′s.  Honestly how many people have the slightest idea what a MILE even IS let alone a GALLON!    Having said, how ever many liters per 100 km divide by the square of the size of the tires, myltiply by the number of cylinders and divide by…. yeah ok.. it just makes NO sense to me anymore.  Just fill the darned thing and drive…..

Sure take the ooomph out of the ‘give them an inch and they take a mile’ don’t it!

I figure there needs to be a place to have people to go calibrate their speedometers.  Ever been behind the person that INSISTS on driving at 41.275 km/h through the 50 km/h zone and THEN proceed to drive through the SCHOOL ZONE at that very same speed!!!  41.275 km/h

Honestly it just scares me the way some people drive.  Speed limits seem to be a mere suggestion, STOP signs – they mean STOP.  Need to hook you up with a WIKIPEDIA Link about STOP signs?
