Everything about this is odd. You’ve got a guy complaining to a security guard about the quality of the service he received instead of to the people who provided the service. You have some random customer basically becoming a security guard so that he can protect the real security guard. You’ve got a fight that …

Just Do It Already
Merge Kitchener and Waterloo, 292 people tell the province in survey I didn’t grow up here, but I grew up close enough to here that I always had at least a passing familiarity with how things were here thanks to all the local news and visiting. And one of the things I could never get …
Sweet Home Alabama, Lord We’re Losing To The Flu
Not a lot of good news right here if you live in the state of Alabama or have any sort of attachment to it. Not only are people of all ages dying of preventable illness left and right thanks to a barely over 40% COVID vaccination rate (41.6 at the time this article was published), …

We’re Finally Secure
If all is going according to plan, none of this should mean a whole lot to any of you. I’m posting it partly as a test and partly because lord only knows when it comes to things going according to plan around here. Anyway, I’ve finally gotten around to switching the site over to HTTPS …
What In The Heck Is A Person-On-Person Robbery?
I have to ask because Googling isn’t helpful and because the blurb that goes with the headline just sounds like any other robbery to me. The girls that got arrested for it weren’t even charged with some exotic flavour of robbery. It just says robbery. I’m guessing this is either another example of that annoying …

Play Ball! Keep Playing! Faster! Move It! Go!
I talked a little bit about the length of playoff baseball games this morning, and now here comes the Score to basically prove me right. I think they get a little too hung up on the amount of foul balls vs. balls in play, (watching a pitcher and hitter get into a battle of skills …

Reach Out And Touch No One
I’m sure this will end up having a practical use or two, but just reading about it is giving me the fuckin’ heebie-jeebies. The ability to shake the hand of a person half way around the world? Haaaaard no. If the thing I’m supposed to be touching isn’t an honest to god tangible thing, I …
Yankees And Tigers On The Radio…In 1934
This is something else. A complete radio broadcast of the September 20th, 1934 game between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. This is the oldest full radio broadcast of a regular season baseball game known to exist (the 1934 All-Star Game is the only surviving full game broadcast that is older than this). …
Free Interrogation
The saying goes that there’s no such thing as something for nothing, but try telling that to the lucky fellows in Mississippi who recently found a free car. Not only did an anonymous donor offer up a vehicle complete with keys for the taking and not ask a thing in return, but he was also …
Healthy? Part 1
Our old pal Gill is going through some stuff at the moment, and it seems she feels like talking about it. This looks to be the first in an ongoing series. We certainly wish her the best. Here’s hoping they figure out what’s wrong and can patch you up good as new. My mom often …
