I'm confused. If smoking is bad for you because it clogs up the blood vessels in the lungs with tar and reduces oxygen to the body, and with 500 or so chemicals added to the equation. Why is vaping ok when, in fact, it has as many chemicals and does the same amount of harm to your body? Make it totally illegal for dumb people who don't realize this.
Here is an extra bit of wisdom: we all know we're going to die one day; what we should worry about is "How you're going to die."

    Checking out the local cemetery and reading graveyard headstones might not be your forte or even entertaining that idea as a Daytrippen travel destination; however, people do this as a hobby, and they have a 10-dollar colourful name for these people: "taphophile, tombstone tourists, grave hunters, or cemetery enthusiasts."

    Nice day for a daytrippen adventure to Ken Seiling Museum and the adjoining Pioneer Village. Little did I know there was a crew of movie producers filming a ...well ... nobody would tell me what it was. But the filming was maybe, and possibly, a documentary. Anyway, it was a fun day for taken photos, and all I can ask for to wrap up my day is: "I hope they filmed my better side." https://daytrippen.ca/

    He's going to go bonkers when he finds out Canada is starting to build their own electric cars. Two prototypes vehicles have already been made for testing. Made in Canada, nothing finer, eh! As one would say ... "How do you like me now. "

    On many occasions, we will travel behind a classic or vintage car, and the stink that comes off it from the exhaust is horrendous. Now, as an automotive technician and a classic car enthusiast, I know the reason why; however, that's not really my point.

    I worry about the polluted air we breathe, and it's not necessarily the odd classic car you see or smell, because many of us were brought up with these stinking things and never thought much of it. But today seems to be different. Question: Is the air we breathe getting heavier, so that we all notice it more? Or is it my imagination, and these nice-looking classics are all running a little rich?

    A few years ago, if Google were gone, after being so dependent on it, we would be in deep do-do. However, today there are many alternatives. As Canadians, we're slowly finding alternatives. They do not hold the dominant market like they used to

    We live in Southern Ontario, and in this area, there "were" about 8 auto plants. They all boasted that one new car came off the assembly line every minute. Toyota does not build a car unless a customer already ordered it. That is a lot of extra cars on our highways, so in essence... people still like driving cars here.

    Peanut Butter And Gas *** If you like peanut butter as I do, listen up. In 1900, Rudolf Diesel invented the Diesel engine. At the time, Diesel envisioned that the agricultural communities (farmers) would produce their own fuel to burn in their tractors. To prove his theory, he ran his engine on 'peanut oil' at the World’s Fair in Paris. Peanuts create gas, and gas will burn. Since I love peanut butter, "that explains everything," by Flippen Canadian. Check out my article on "Long Lost Alternative Fuels." 🔗

    That was a part of the reason but if you remember, they were in and out of US courts of infringement rights, or this reason and that. The president himself had one until "being it was an offshore provider." and Apple has caught up. Yeah, they might have been slow on the upgrade; however, the Americans helped Blackberry go by way of the do-do bird. They do not like the competition... The whole story is not so crazy. Living in the BB community, you hear all kinds of stories you will not read.

    We all remember the Canadian BlackBerry phone, the yanks wanted access to all the phone calls from Google, BlackBerry and all the other providers in the states. BlackBerry built their popularity to be a secure system and refused the yanks; the other said they did not give in to the demands, but we know they all did. They could not force Canadian Blackberry; "bottom line," they were kicked out of the states and are now gone. Unfortunately, as one person said, Canadians use their servers, Google, for looking up your car parts. If you think the two-sided camera on your phone is for your convenience, I suggest not taking it into the washroom with you.
