I actually review hotels before I stay in them to see when their last infestation was reported. And tonight I have a movie date with family friends. Nasty! I stopped going to the pubic library when it became the safe haven for transients. When they opened the doors to the new library, I noticed most of the new furnishings were not so bedbug friendly. But the transient problem is still... well a problem.<br /><br />So are you considering your return to Canada to end up in BC or some place not Ontario or does it not really matter?thegypsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019720222734603445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8528686231765021097.post-70404237343278871842012-12-21T21:33:24.970+09:002012-12-21T21:33:24.970+09:00Yeah, we have environmental assesments too.

They ought to pay me: it's for more cars, its bad, idiots; it's for more transit/cycling/walking, which means fewer cars, so it's good, morons; give me my million dollars now.<br /><br />And the car industry sabotaging alternatives?

I thought he was a bit nuts but everything I've seen since suggests he's right.<br /><br />We are finally - after 17 years - getting the two major bike paths in this city joined up! The reason for the delay - it had to go through a park and might be bad for the environment. Yeah, that's right.<br /><br />The government here spends a lot but on really stupid stuff that never works properly.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699328937978331608noreply@blogger.com
