Of Course They’ll Give Me The Money. They Know Me Here

I don’t know much about Fountain Valley, California. I don’t even think I had heard of it until just now. But if there’s one thing I do know about it, that thing is that it is the home of more than one bank. In fact, typing the words “Fountain Valley California bank” into Google like …

We Wish Everyone A Merry Everything…If That’s Even Possible These Days

I wish you…all the luck getting this song out of your head. So…as far as we know, we’re getting on the train tomorrow at noon. We know that at any moment before that, the trip could be cancelled, either by Via Rail or by us if we decide we can’t do it for whatever reason. …

It’s Probably OK To Get A Flu Shot And A COVID Shot At The Same Time

File this one under good to know. It’s going to be especially handy if I’m right and we eventually move to an annual COVID vaccine to protect us from the mutation of the moment rather than running around like headless, planless chickens arbitrarily throwing boosters into people and hoping for the best.

Home Is Where The Job Isn’t

I wouldn’t expect your average fella on the street to know this, but someone first elected to council in 1997 who eventually went on to be the mayor for three years should probably have a better handle on the rules of his office than now ex Mayor of Brockville, Ontario Jason Baker apparently does.
