I waited in line today and got the new Westcoast Express (GO/EXO train) keychain fobs. They're little trains that you can tap on the machines and take the bus/train/ferry. Yet no one in my family wants one...?! madness.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

They called them Near Abroad Direct Action Operations, NADA Ops. The "joke" in the CalSec cafeterias, which made its way out later in the hearings was that "What does the operator say when asked if there are civilians in the area? Nada...oops!". Even decades later, Arizona didn't find it funny.

Realizing we're heading into a week of social media arguments about the budget. Maybe 50% of the disputants will have read an article about the budget. Max 5% actually read any appreciable portion of the budget.

At least from the lawsuits I've seen, Canada's intelligence professionals seem to spend a lot of time sexually harassing each other and being racist toward those few who actually speak the languages of our adversaries

Coastal BC is the answer here. Warmer, and with fewer bugs than the prairies.

BC people - I finally bailed on Telus (should have done it years ago).
I've gone through all the phone/email/etc processes to ask them to stop calling me.
They still call me multiple times per week, every time I reiterate the request.
Are there any ways to actually stop them calling?
