    I watched a tourist drink a few beer at the local inn and then just throw the cans onto the lawn and keep drinking. So basically littering. That stuck in my craw. This is my town buddy, take the 5 seconds it takes to dispose of your shitty cans of your shitty mass produced beer that you usually have back home that you made sure to let everyone is far better than the local microbrew we have here in town.

    Also one time we had some tourists loudly complaining about immigrants while visiting. Those aren’t immigrants you dope, they’re citizens of our country. They were born here.

    On one occasion I was driving somewhere and it was along a scenic drive and I had to stop for something. A group of aging old men on motorcycles who were doing the scenic drive told me I couldn’t park in that area because it was theirs. I said get fucked, you’re in my backyard, I’ll park wherever the fuck I want. I think they thought they were intimidating because they fancied themselves a biker gang, but biker gangs usually don’t have New Balance and rental bikes as part of their aesthetic.

    First of all, our red is your blue and our blue is your red, but also our reds are bluer than your blues, but even our blues are bluer than your reds are, and we also have oranges that are bluer than our reds are, which also means they’re bluer than your blues are, and also we have like a navy blue that is particular to Quebec and it’s bluer than our reds are and also therefore bluer than your blues, and also we have a small group of greens, and they’re kinda bluer than our reds are, which also means they’re bluer than your blues are. Overall, we’re entirely bluer than even your bluest blues are, and even most of our blues are less red and more blue than most of your reds are, although it seems we’re on the verge of turning more red, but that gap seems to have narrowed since you guys got a red guy in there and we’re starting to see the results, even if its only been less than a week with your reds in charge.

    I hope this clears things up.

    Pizza, any Asian food, occasionally eggs although I prefer vinegar based stuff like Tapatio generally for that… sriracha is a very versatile sauce. It’s not overly hot and just has that famous sriracha tang to it.

    Lately I’ve been purchasing Firebarns brand as Huy Fung has been a bit more difficult to find around these parts and frankly some of their business practices have been questionable, with them not paying pepper suppliers and were sued and lost to that effect. Firebarns is quite good though, perhaps not quite as thick as Huy Fong, but that’s a matter of preference.

    I had a car broken into, but there wasn’t anything worth taking, so they slashed a tire on their way out. Luckily they left enough clear fingerprints that they were actually ID’d and had to pay for my slashed tire. They had broken into several cars in the area and I guess their fingerprints on my window was their undoing.

    Frankly it was more insulting that they didn’t think any of my stuff was worth taking. :/

    Sisters Euclid. They were a Canadian band who recently called it a career after like 27 years of mostly-under-the-radar instrumental jangle jazz, or something to that effect. They did win a Juno for an album of Neil Young instrumentals and reinterpretations called “Run Neil Run”, but outside of the Toronto are and southwest Ontario I don’t think they were widely known. Members of the band have played in all sorts of other bands and with other folks, many of which y’all would recognize like Norah Jones and the Doobie Brothers, they all really accomplished musicians. I saw them live dozens of times before they called it a day, and I always saw and heard something new with every performance. Seeing them live was definitely the best way to take them in, as their studio albums seemed like they were just scaffolding for the live shows.

    Hoping for a reunion show in 5-10 years. I’d travel for it.
