I understand a new Taco place opened up today. It didn't go well.

Could be worse, at least it doesn't smell like Brooks.

Come to High River in the evening and you get the pleasure of smelling the wonderful aroma that comes from the feedlot to the west of us.

Ah, conjures memories of the old Marshall feedlot in Kelowna. That was horrid.

Putting a decal (usually script) on the windshield of a car is the equivalent of a face tattoo.

You basically use it to replace the thumb turn deadbolt on the inside of the house.

You can use your phone to control it via bluetooth or wifi and you can set the lock to automatically lock after a duration (1 minute-30 minutes) and/or when you leave the geographic vicinity. If the lock stops working/out of power, you just use your key as normal. TBH I am lazy now and I just let it auto lock.

I sometimes also use it to unlock the door to let guests in, if they get to my place and I am not home yet.

Assuming it's compatible with your deadbolt, installation is dead easy and takes like 5-15 minutes depending on how many thumbs you have.
I have this one and it is awesome. $170. Apple Home kit enabled. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CZNZGGS7?...fix=smart+lock

My only concern is if the keypad isn't responsive when it's too cold and somehow the inside isn't responding either. The odds of both happening probably aren't high, but I'd still make sure there's some way to get into the house with a physical key (side door or back door) in a bizarre power outage electrical snafu situation or something.

I've had a neighbor come over for help in a situation like that in my old place before. Luckily it was a garage, not her home.

Anyone else see the sky light up “green” this morning? Right at 6:34.

I didn’t see it, no wake-up call on the news.
It was a meteor the size of the Empire State Building and missed us by a mere 19,000 miles, dubbed the “God of Chaos “ in case it hit.

It was very cool to see.

Unfortunately, my thoughts immediately went to ‘some sort of catastrophic event’.

Damn, just got off a call with my ex. She's in Tokyo right now and some places are charging her an extra amount because she's there alone and taking up a table of 2. We're assuming this is due to the economy there and the restaurant is losing money when 1 person takes up a table that could have potentially been given to a group of 2.

Happens in the touristy areas, I was there solo recently and saw no extra charge for that. Even went to a place with 4 seater booths and sat alone.

Has she come across the ones that won't even let her in?

Not yet, but I'll mention it to her!
