How did they lose the profits?
Another day, another trip to a neighbouring area. For food. The summer was relatively free of restaurant visits, but the fall is picking up. With our overnight visitors, we went for chowder: OK, not great, take it and move along.
Perhaps it’s me. I don’t find that many “wow” moments with food, any more. Give me what I know and like, at home. Forget the other razzle dazzle. I’m sure there are still thrills for the tongue ahead, but for now I just want my coffee and cinn-buns. Leave the rest for others.
We also got out on the walking trail, where I can finally admit that our rails are disappearing. Age and erosion, I guess. Lack of maintenance, certainly. It’s been three decades since the trains left, and the tracks will, inevitably, fade away to a simple memory. Nobody will pay to restore something symbolic. Instead, we’ll put up a few more sign boards, and then we’ll move along. Seems to be a common thread here.
Somebody needs to ask a pointed question. How did “the government” manage to lose $42M (in Ontario, alone) while selling drugs. The baseline of profitable is something else, once you put the politicians in the driver’s seat. I can’t teach lessons about something where I know nothing, but there’s a mistake in play here. I can’t wait for the other provinces to bring their tally sheets forward. After all, governments do a wonderful job of slinging booze. What’s different here? Waiting for the answers, patiently.
And with that, this was another “trivial” evening. Too much noise, too much irritation from the lights. I should know better after all this time.
With pointed input from our company, my family tree data set advanced past the 88K point, this morning.
