No rebar to corrode back in the day may have been a blessing.

Plenty of water for hydration and perfect application for concrete. Even so you would think they would have been upgraded along the way due to capacity. It's intersting how sophisticated engineering was back in that day and earlier on with the pyramids and so on. All lined up with the North...

Hard to believe a structure could remain relevant over such great lengths of time other than to serve as a museum in recognition of itself. One of the issues with old city infrastructure are the buildings that outlive their designed purpose.

One thing about concrete is that it is a very forgiving construction material where people who don't know what they are doing are able to achieve somewhat satisfactory results subject to the test of time. When there is a problem later on it is always the fault of the concrete. If we adhered to...

How far off am I for a couple of nights including travel plus game tickets etcetera? Government rate for travel at .72 / km is already $1050. It's all good if you can afford it and life is short.

Looked like a great day and another fun time. The crowd was loud and the team played well. Argos owned the trenches on both sides and Arbuckle is a fantasy monster. Add Brissett to the list of players having a good year as well and can't take Herslow out of the lineup now either with his play...

I've been saying the Argos are better than their record. Still a long way to go but a loss would have been it. Can they beat the Tiger Cats?

Woody Allen. Say no more.

Alouettes gave it a good go but couldn't get the Bombers off the field that ended with a near 12 minute time of possession advantage. Still 16 - 13 early 4th quarter. I did not like the gamble on 3rd and long with 6 minutes left and would rather have seen them try to pin them deep although they...

Could be a tall order for the Alouettes to fend off the dirt bag Blue Bombers tonight although they have played them tough over the last few years and James Morgan might do okay. Als defense can win the game on their own. Paying 3.25 to win outright and 1.8 with 6.5 points. Low over / under at...

6 months into her new term. This is where someone needs to make the Greens a western party.

If it escalates I can see China being more involved although their motivation is still unclear to me other than to oppose the U.S.

All new Canadians loved Trudeau

Seems like China should be involved

No sour grapes or anything but in the last minute of the game Toronto got a bogus roughing call on the returner after a big return, had a roughing call on a defenseless receiver ignored, and a pass interference call on a third down play overturned by the replay officials despite no conclusive...

Guessing Putin will want all war crime charges dropped as well.

I noticed Justin Trudeau milling about at the EU commission meeting to do with supporting Ukraine so consider the double dip fully in place, Did not see Katy Perry in the news brief. We really do need to get rid of this guy. Also saw a comment about how Ukraine will have to rely more on the EU...

Hearing Bicks pickles are clinging by a thread. Apparently only made for the Canadian market.

It is estimated that approximately 3 million boats have sunk over the time since anyone has taken notice. It's an estimate because they don't know if they accounted for all. AI Overview The number of ships lost at sea has significantly decreased over the past few decades, from over 200 large...
