Bravo to Rexall Pharmacy, on Raglan Street, for their incorporation of Renfrew history into their new “look” unveiled several months ago.

That it was a surveillance rig, I have no doubt. And the data it was collecting is already gone, also no doubt.

Big question: Why would China do this?

Okay, my constant shitting on the Russians may be coming across as racism, and for that I apologize.

That was then and this is now.

For me, I’m glad they broke that promise. I think the F-35 was really the only way they could go, given previous investment, economy of scale, and industrial benefits. Not to mention it’s a top-shelf warplane with multiple role capabilities that’s inter-operable with those of our allies.

A worker standing in a Moscow liquor line says: “I’ve had enough, save my place, I’m going to shoot Putin.”

Two hours later he returns to claim his place in line. His friends ask, “Did you get him?”

“No, the line there was even longer than this one.”

Why does the Russian Navy build all its new ships with glass bottoms?

So it can see the old Russian Navy.

People sometimes wonder about the meaning of the “Z” in the current Russian wartime invasion of Ukraine.

It’s simple.

And you thought bait-and-switch was a sales tactic for homes and cars. But no, it applies to groceries too.

A case in point. I purchased these chocolate covered almonds a month ago for $5.99, which was a little rich for me but holy smokes they’re good. Then, for three days last week, they went on sale for $3.99.

It was absolutely brutal last night, but the opening ceremonies for the Ontario Winter Games went off without a hitch at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Thursday night, February 2.

Full credit to everyone involved, including athletes, speakers, hosts, singers, and choirs. Because last night, especially with the wind, was one of the coldest nights I can remember.

Action shot of me and Dolly! Funny how she’ll sit dead centre in the back looking forward like that. All she’s missing is the seatbelt.

She’s become a legitimate car dog now, in that she spends more time in the car than years past. Back in Papa George’s day, she spent all kinds of time in the car. She tolerates it well, other than those puking episodes and that one defecation.

Oh well, it’s the only way I can leave the house without her raising holy murder.
