The "I left a garage door opener in an unlocked car" thefts are a rarer, but are also usually accompanied by someone getting a bunch of stuff stolen out of the garage too.
My philosophy on the car running in the winter is I’m not worrying about it. Though modern push button starts solved the problem so it will go away soon

Hotels kind of are similar, in that it differs from NA where you just book based on a nightly rate, but they also have a per person rate which differs from one or two people.

It's a mixed bag really. Finding places that have solo seats is best, check tabelog, or doing all you can eat which is a set charge and usually a good deal if you take part in the alcoholic drinks.

I focused on out of the way izakayas, where all seats are solo and food is cheap, good and experiences are memorable.

Zoo lights? Cool. Have not been for a while. Let's check it out... Click the ol' CP banner ad so Bingo gets even richer...

DENVER?

The banner ad is for DENVER!! Algo #### up there I guess. Are there a lot of CP members regularly hitting up Denver?

Grabbed some Aussie black licorice from Dollarama. They were huge and soooo soft. Highly recomended.

When doing school drop-off and pick-up it continually blows my mind how much people just don't care about parking rules.

Handicap only? Bus zone? People's driveways? Everything apparently is fair game so Jimmy doesn't have to walk more than 50 feet. Special order of selfish always on display.

It's great entertainment. I've started hanging around longer after I drop mine off to watch the chaos that ensues.

The other day at drop off some dude, without a handicap tag, not only parked in the spot, but backed over the sign.

The knobbery was impressive, actually.

Nothing speaks 'Christmas' like brandishing a turkey leg as a bludgeoning weapon of last resort.

Theres gotta be some respect for that. Where did they even get it from? Inquiring minds.

Had my pubes shaved by a nurse Monday and it just dawned on me now that I cannot find a reason why. Not fully but definitely an impactful amount.

They need bare skin so the electrodes stick, and hold as the amps ramp up.
