some test body text suggests there’s more.

Well. Give it to us.

I read “being called a coprophagist”

The entire remaining Conservative caucus? That’ll be a cheap catering bill.

Sometimes I am not a good person. Then I revise my definition of “good” until we’re good to go again.

Not supposed to talk about it anymore, sir.

I had completely forgotten that sequel existed until I read your comment. Utterly forgettable.

What a liar.

Why would anyone miss a meeting because they got Novocain? It’s a local anesthetic. Is it worse to attend a meeting and have slight difficulty enunciating some words compared to showing up in a stress sweat-soaked shirt?

Oh it doesn’t matter. He made the story up anyway.

Places like Creative Bricks and Blocks sell topsoil by the yard (ie it fills a pickup truck), but they also sell smaller quantities. I often see people at the big topsoil bin filling their own bag or bucket for smaller gardens.

A whole truck load of soil is like $45 so a small quantities will be absurdly cheaper than buying pre-bagged soil from a retail store.

There’s also lots of local garden centres that sell bagged soil. GardenWorks has been a go-to for me for years. They’re generally priced close to the big box stores and have a wider selection of soils.

Another option are nurseries. I go to Sun Tai Tsang farms in Burnaby in the spring to buy plants and they always have a good selection of bagged soil, and they’re usually cheaper than retail stores on practically everything they sell. Cheap local eggs too!

We could. But Pop Tarts are a poor reason to start a revolution.

Like, I’ll come, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t want the ‘tart on our flag or anything.

I’m in. There doesn’t even need to be a war or risk of war. Let’s do it!

You’re back with a fresh account, I see.

 

But couldn’t find anything I wanted to play.

So I went outside and pulled weeds in the garden.

 

YSK there's an app called CNV CityFix you can install on your smartphone that allows you to review and report issues in your area that the city should address.

Every once in a while I'll see some egregious graffiti, dumped trash, tree debris blocking a path, etc. More often than not, someone has already reported the issue in the app and the City is aware of it and adds it to their list. Within a few days (or less), a crew with the right equipment comes out and addresses it.

Being able to snap a photo and send the location to the city to put it on their radar is great for both parties. The city gets quality reports about issues quickly, and residents have a low effort way to get them dealt with.

You can also search for reported issues nearby, and there's often laughs to be had at people's descriptions of their perceived problems, or particularly witty ways people describe legitimate issues.
