No Toothpaste? No Problem
I booked a flight by telephone recently and before I could make my reservation, there was a recording on the phone of how this fluid and that gel and the other balm would not be allowed on airplanes. Toothpaste was mentioned by name, and it reminded me I’ve been meaning to blog about toothpaste.

Sabotage, Stupidity or Just Bad Luck?
For about two years, my car’s check engine light has been on. It’s been driving fine, but the check engine light has been trying to tell me that my timing computer has gone HAL 9000.
I took it to Aamco, a national transmission repair chain with several convenient locations in the Vancouver area. They took a look at the check engine light. Things didn’t go well.

Dinner at Satima
Susie and I headed out to the li-berry last night to get some books on hold, and on the way back we stopped for dinner at a lovely new Vancouver place called Satima. We’d been interested in the restaurant for its high tea, but we hadn’t made time to go to it, so we though, hey, let’s give it a go.
