Hello kids
6:37 am

That de 9/78 is a new one for me :)
6:37 am

I am still looking for it.

6:42 am
Scrabbler

I looked it up too.
6:42 am
crosshair

I had to look it up as well. Not really something used in everyday conversation. :)
6:43 am
Scrabbler

You don't speak Latin, much, Crossy?
6:44 am
crosshair

Nope, other than a few catchphrases.
6:45 am
Scrabbler

I like saying, "Quid pro quo."
6:45 am

Tempis fugit.
6:45 am

I think that's right, lol

Yes, it is.

6:49 am
crosshair

I see our beloved winter hat is in the grid:) I have this one with a giant pom-pom on it I wear to make my beloved laugh. She says I look like one of the dwarves from the hobbit movie trying to hide a bad hair day.
6:50 am
crosshair

Opp! Was just notified by the pups that it is breffast time. Brb.
6:51 am
Scrabbler

Hi swmbo
6:53 am
swmbo

Hi Scrabbler How are things in your world?
6:53 am
Scrabbler

Good. Great summer despite the recent heat.
6:54 am
swmbo

Same here. We didn't get terrible heat yet though. We usually don't. ocean breezes mostly keep us cool.
6:55 am
Scrabbler

I see that you live in NS. Any wildfires there this summer? I am in the Buffalo area and we saw lots of smoke last week.
6:57 am
crosshair

The smoke has cleared here for now. Good thing. Was tired of chewing air that tastes like burning plastic. :(
6:57 am
swmbo

There is one burning near Halifax but under control I believe. Smoke is a huge problem though across a lot of Canada and the US too. Portents of life to come I fear. I wonder how long it will take to completely burn the boreal forest and once it is gone, we are gone too.
6:58 am
Scrabbler

Sadly we are witnessing the beginning of the end.
6:58 am
crosshair

:(
6:59 am
swmbo

Yes. Winter is coming
6:59 am
swmbo

But however, we only have today, so lets us carpe diem!
7:01 am
Scrabbler

True.
7:05 am
crosshair

Took a news break yesterday only to discover today that Trump is making some more items 50% more expensive for Americans to buy. Not good, and is not the way to get american booze back on the shelves. Several provinces are just selling all the remaining pulled booze and using the proceeds for charitable donations.
7:06 am
Scrabbler

He is an international embarrassment on a daily basis.
7:09 am
swmbo

Its so crazy. Punishing Canada for the smoke, a natural disaster. What next? Will we punish Venezuela for their earthquake?
7:09 am
Scrabbler

I am off for a hike before a thunderstorm hits. Enjoy the day.
7:09 am
crosshair

At least dumping what U.S booze is left will eliminate storage costs. Canadians are funny that way--keep "punishing" us with tariff we simply entrench and double down.
Tc , Scrabby.
7:12 am
swmbo

In NS, we sold the last stock of American booze at Christmas time and gave the profits to food banks. We can easily live without booze.
7:14 am
swmbo

anyway, 66 found, 81 to go. BBL
7:24 am
godthaab

No premiers are giving in to the Orange Wankmaggott's threat about the booze
7:28 am
crosshair

Nope. Bonus is all our local craft brewers and local distilleries are showing record orofits, they are expanding, hiring new employees. It is good win.
7:28 am
crosshair

Profits*
7:29 am
rururocks

of all countries that idiot has to have an issue with, Canada? really. He's a total moron
7:29 am
godthaab

Wineries as well
7:30 am
crosshair

Here in our town we are fortunate; we have at least six local craft brewers and a Segrams distillery.
7:31 am
crosshair

Sadly I had to give up the booze two years ago. Was hurting my tummy. :(
7:32 am
crosshair

Yes, local wineries are also reaping the rewards.
7:32 am
rururocks

guessing not just hurting the tummy
7:33 am
crosshair

I have acid reflux and sleep apnea. Hard booze just made it all worse.
7:35 am
crosshair

Having your stomach backflush at three in the morning while you were asleep and you wake up choking on it is a very good incentive to stop.
7:35 am
rururocks

I thought you said you were drinking too much
7:35 am
crosshair

I was
7:36 am
crosshair

Way too much
7:37 am
crosshair

I do not think the cost alone would have stopped me, but amost choking to death certainly did.
7:40 am
crosshair

When a 26 ounce bottle of booze barely lasts you three days it is time to review things. So here we are--squeaky clean and dry.
7:42 am
crosshair

For you S.K fans, the game they used to play at the Overlook Hotel is in the grid. :)
