This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because youβd ruined the suspension of disbelief.

As much as I wanted Sakamoto to win, I thought Liu, despite winning gold herself, taking a beat to steady Ami Nakai as she went into total shock at winning bronze was pure class and sportsmanship. Maybe she really is what the sport needs.

Ah yeah; carrots would be ok in the broth if strained out but not in the soup. Corn, forget it... probably tastes fine but just the wrong texture.
I guess 100% homemade clam juice would probably drive the price up a lot?

That looks awesome. (There is actually a brand of canned clam chowder we've had here that's decent but we tend to just use it as a lazy seafood pasta sauce base, not soup.)

There is a direct line from Lego to much, much bigger things like robots, motorsports and maybe even working on rockets (I know a robotics alum from the kid's school actually doing aerospace engingeering) if you don't mine stepping on progressively sharper and more painful things the older they get.

Yup. I almost never drive anywhere downtown unless I'm planning to carry something heavy home, and even then it's rare. I'm also biking to work in Kits the 2 days/week I commute in, and loving it... I can get from my place in Coal Harbour to Broadway/Granville in 15 mins, faster than by bus or car.

Also the diversity, if you're not coming from a major immigrant city in the US. I was just in North Dakota for a robotics tournament of my kid's and we drove back into Manitoba afterwardsβnot just Winnipeg, but even the first Tim's 40km across the border was a full Canadian multicultural experience.

...also lack of variety in pretty much everything, because we're such a small market. (I got that feeling moving back to Canada too from Japan though!)

My two American friends who moved here to flee W when he was re-elected have a lot of good stories about figuring out how to live in this country and city. I think the surface similarities actually make it harder to deal with the differences...
