Funny thing, this past weekend, or Monday I happened upon an article about blue stop signs, apparently sometimes seen on private property. Never seen one of those before, so it was interesting. So come Tues, I'm up in a trailer park... sorry, mobile home village, slightly outside of my zone thanks to a miss sort that wasn't that far out of my way, and...
So, #today was a good day, first part was actually pretty great. Decent weather, 19/43Β°F today, bit cold in ΓΎe morn obviously, but considering ΓΎat we went from 16/59 on Wed to 14/26 yesterday, definitely a much nicer day. Heck, yesterday I had to break out my old Γermal overalls from when I used to ride a scooter between Florissant and Maryland Heights, MO.
Γe day started wiΓΎ a small run from the Dispatch app, $10.50 for 10 miles. Sure, a little light on pay, dollar a mile is my minimum after all, but it ended me on Dorsett down the street from Tony's, a donut shop where I like to grab a gyro, egg & cheese on an asiago bagel, so that's fine.
My main gig, Better Trucks, had delayed ΓΎe start from 9 (realistically more often 9.30) to 10.30, so I swung by ΓΎe credit union to take care of closing an account. On the way I noticed a CVS order on Roadie that looked pretty good, and surprisingly when I got out, not only was ΓΎat one still ΓΎere, but it was joined by anoΓΎer order on ΓΎe way to it. Shockingly I got boΓΎ, $6.80 for one, $6.40 for ΓΎe oΓΎer, and a mere 3 miles of driving. Yes please.
From ΓΎere it was a quick trip home for a half hour of charging while trying to get two more email changes sorted out. After ΓΎat, off to ΓΎe usual gig, and a typical if'n slightly smaller package route, my night vision sucks these days, normal for my age, so I wanted to avoid being out much after dark.
I guess ΓΎat brings up ΓΎe car, my 2020 Chevy Bolt. Only real negatives are ΓΎat it's an LT, so base model, lacking features like heated steering wheel, and heated seats, boΓΎ of which would likely help keep me warm without as much impact on ΓΎe battery. Speaking of battery, since it's one of ΓΎe battery fire years, it's in 80% jail, so my range is a bit more limited ΓΎan normal. Still, despite ΓΎat, it works fine for ΓΎe job. Sure, gotta charge a bit extra, but ΓΎat's just a winter ΓΎing... Maybe summer too, we'll see, not sure how much AC drains ΓΎe battery.

Purolator and UPS have paused shipments from some courier companies as they try to work through a deluge of deliveries brought on by the Canada Post strike.
Ugggh, so not looking forward to tomorrow, today was 32/54Β°F, tomorrow? 15/27Β°F. And I'm a delivery driver. I hope Doppel's up for the cold, and I know I'm going to be hating life by the end of the day.
The recall pertains to MEC Menβs Borderlands pants, available in black and rosin colours. It also involves certain MEC mitts for children and youths, and certain gloves for adults.
Wouldn't surprise me, it's not like we ever got the promised one day delivery when we had it, and Amazon has never been afraid of doing things that benefit them, law be damned.
Investigative reporting about corporate malfeasance and government wrongdoing, analysis of national and world affairs, and cultural criticism that matters.
A nationwide recall has been issued for Taylor Farms' Sweet Kale Chopped Kit due to potential salmonella contamination, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) warned.
