here due to the panic induced about the China Virus: I have sampled many different brands
of toilet paper that I bought over a period of time as different brands were available and I just
grabbed one package when I saw it.
I still like the Cottonelle and the Northern best.

Death rate numbers are only as good as the quality of data coming into them. There are entire swaths of the US who I trust about as much as China when it comes to honest numbers.
I have a question for you. What’s going on with people from British Columbia not wanting visitors from Alberta? I‘ve read of threatening notes put on windshields and cars getting keyed.

It is being done by a subset of the populace who have paranoia about the virus, and now that most provinces have things under control and are gradually easing interprovincial travel, those people are convinced visitors are going to bring it with them. It is even worse if you have US plates. The border is closed but some American-plated cars were here when things shut down and those people are really being abused.

Simple answer is British Columbia has a very low rate of covid...Alberta's is a bit higher. Provinces that are doing better don't want visitors from provinces with higher rates. It seems to be helping.

The traffic can be insane there, but I live in the middle of traffic hell, so it's no different. At least they were smart enough to put in a light rail line when it was easier to build. I've always seen Vancouver as a cleaner somewhat more developed version of Seattle. As I missed being able to go to the Auto Show, and I was planning to go to to the Memorial Cup in Kelowna, I'll probably take a long weekend north of the border asap if/when things return to normal - but I am not making plans anytime this year.

I’ve heard some of their audio gear. Some of it was trash. But, I’ve heard some that was pretty good. Don’t know who they were rebranding (doubt they made it themselves), but it was a good partnership.
One of my faves, too. Alas, we (U.S. Citizens) aren’t allowed there right now. But, I get it. Canada is under control. U.S. (at least some major areas) does not.
My county is making it easy for COVID testing. You don’t even have to get out of your car. I’ve been tested twice. Not fun, but taking advantage and staying safe.
While I was in Dayton, I got the chance to go to an audio swap meet. Loaded those Magnepan LRSs in the back of the Stinger and tried to “swap”. Most if what I saw was trashed audio products...a lot of mini-disk players (which weren’t popular even at the peak of marketing them). Found some crazy speakers. EOSONE speakers, which was Best Buy’s high end house brand at one point in time). Luxman stereo receivers, which I didn’t even know they made.
Some Klipsch Heresy 3 way horn speakers caught my eye since the wood working on them was exceptional. They were new, being sold by a dealer, but apparently not a color the person who had them could sell.......matte black (with nice open pore wood grain). We went back and forth for a while. Since he’s not a Magnepan Dealer, he said he didn’t know if he could resell them. I pointed out that NOT being a dealer and having them in his inventory would bring in new customers that he may not see.
Hooked them up....MERCY. I forgot how good a well designed speaker could sound. Big soundstage. Just a big sound all the way around, in a good way. I’d have to throw yet more money at them to make a deal. But, I told him mine were for sale at $275 ($25 more than I paid, but still a really good deal). I told him to to come up with a number for his Klipsch. He’s supposed to get back to me today.

At one point, there were only a few people being hospitalized, but now the Covid section is at full capacity at the hospital where her husband is a doctor.

I had two jobs as a social worker. The first was as a program director doing outreach with poor people. I had an office to do paperwork but spent most of my time going to home visits.
My other job as health care field representative involved traveling all over visiting doctors, nurses, social workers and commissioners. I worked from home but probably spent 90% of my time on the road.
Then I smartened up and became a farmer.👩🌾

Got a call back on the Charger. Went through the list. Oil change, coolant change, trans service, brake fluid change, intake cleaning, new oil pressure sender, thermostat, tightened up various components on the front end, alignment, tire rotation and balance .... $3300! He wanted another $700 for spark plugs, but I turned that down. Not sure what the heck that's about, but the plugs cost about $50 and are all easily accessible. Even if it took 3 hrs (which it shouldn't), that's about $470 at their rates. He says it will be a whole new car. Told him for 1/3rd the purchase price, I hope so.
I'm just chalking it up to a learning experience. Probably could have done all those fluids, sender, and thermostat for about $400. Then get the alignment, rotation, and balance done for ... what? $300? $400? $2500 in labor is ... wow. I could spend 30 of my own hours and it would still be worth it.

He threw out a number which I wasn’t interested. He wants to check how much he has in his speakers, which he said he didn’t know off the top of his head.
He could probably make $200-$250 on my speakers. Not sure he’s interested in having speakers he can only make a couple hundred dollars on.

Not sure if I've mentioned here, but my mom has stopped driving, and we recently moved her into a full time care facility close to my sister in San Diego. My sister has taken possession of my moms car - 2003 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6 with all of 39,000 miles on it.
My sister took it to her trusted independent mechanic (her FIL used him for 20+ years). Based on feedback from the CCBA thread, I was expecting belts, hoses, tires to need attention, along with other deferred maintenance.
Turns out it only needed an oil change and a transmission fluid flush - $250 total.
To say I was surprised would be an understatement.
It does need some cosmetic work done - it's missing some of the chrome window trim, and the passenger side rear view mirror is cracked and needs to be replaced.
Mechanically, the cruise control doesn't work, and there is a known issue with the fuel filler setup that makes it difficult to fill the gas tank.
Her kids will be driving it to Atascadero on Saturday for a wedding - just over 300 miles, one way.
Eventually, when I can get out to California, I'll drive the Sonata back and make it my DD.
