Have you noticed a change in how people shop in stores? Many people will get on their phones or face time with friends. Sharing photos and videos and discussing potential purchases. Taking 15-30 minutes to decide on a $15 bottle of wine. Is shopping a communal social activity for some?

They're probably posting the $200 bottles to their influencer wine enthusiast account and then actually buying a $7 bottle.

Thoughts on drinking low-salt V8 juice as a way to get more vegs into my diet? I know it’s not a perfect substitute as it doesn’t provide the fibre of whole vegetables. I try to get 6-8 servings a day but it’s sometimes hard.

Back to my flag question, the blue flag was still up this morning but they put the Canadian flag back up in the last hour or so. It looked like the blue flag was likely some sort of European flag because I think it had one of those euro dragons that is on some of their flags.

It was the governor general's flag. I am across the street from it. There was also a drone tethered with a rope of some sort next to it.

NSFW!

That is a dumb flag. What is some derpy looking lion doing holding a maple leaf and standing on what appear to be lucky charms?

For me, the bigger question is, why does the GG have their own flag? When the GG travels somewhere in Canada do they always fly that flag? Does the active GG get to modify the flag (ie. if they don't like the lion can they change it to a bear?)

You can probably see better than I can but are those snipers on the roof?

I see the top of a white awning, but the dude on that side of the floor said he saw some snipers. I can't see them right now though.

Kind of an odd situation, my property value increase was less than typical, so I have a lower than average tax increase. Yay? Maybe the first half of the tips was based on typical increase, so I was overpaying.

Ya, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. So any value change ends up being larger in your TIPS to make up the adjustment for the first 6 months, plus the new rate(or minus, in your case).

That actually looks better. Lion looks more fierce and less derpy.

Fierce? It looks like the lion went crazy with its mom’s lipstick. Would be better if it looked more like dripping blood.

You can complain about the look of the citation when you are awarded one.

Send me $50, I'll buy it, award it to you, then you can debate the fierceness freely.
