A couple of weeks after getting my new tires, I noticed a slow leak in one of them.  But, rather than take it in, I just kept putting air in the tire.  Eventually, the weather got to be too bad to be outside and since I had full hazard insurance on the tires, I decided to just take it in and get it fixed.

When I got to the tire store, I learned that there would be up to a three hour wait.  But I came prepared.  Not only did I bring a book to read, I had a sub delivered to the tire store at lunch time.  So, I read until my lunch arrived, ate lunch and got in a nice little nap all before my car was ready.  Time management at its best.

Last fall, I decided that I needed new tires before winter.  So I went to the local tire store and purchased a set of four.  But it wasn’t until I paid for them that I learned of the three hour wait.  Three hours!!!  I wondered if some of the staff were on vacation. Fortunately, I brought along some reading material to pass the time.

This might be the year that I am spared hearing the dogs barking Jingle Bells.  So far so good.  Only a couple of more weeks to go.

A mobile home was stolen right off of its lot.  What will they steal next?

I just noticed that a local movie theater now has a bar in their lobby.  Now you can take you date out for a movie and a few drinks without ever having to leave the theater.

A local jewelry store is offering a free Xbox with select diamond purchases.  What ever.

On a recent trip through the car wash, I discovered that they now have pink soap that is winter green scented.  Sorry but it reminds me too much of when I was sick as a child.

The first self driving bus crashed about 2 hours after being in service for the first time.  Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

For every one who loves veggies and dip you can now buy Hidden Valley Ranch dressing in a 5 liter keg.   Whatever.

Canada is concerned that 20% of the current population consists of immigrants and that maybe they should limit those numbers before it reached 30%.  So, if you are a “Yank” who is planning to move to Canada, you had better hurry before the borders close.
