It looked like snow
I now take my warnings from social media. The most recent trigger? A photo by an RV owner, showing what happens when your container of DEF overflows; my immediate thought was “That could happen to me”, and I went straight out to remove the potential chemical volcano from where it has sat, all year long. One of those things that had never crossed my mind, but after seeing a single photo I was convinced to act.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could (as easily) convince our neighbours to do the right thing? Imagine, if the simple image of a properly worn surgical mask could get people to cover their mouths and noses? I haven’t found a photo that would set up such a response, but there must be one.
Today, the professional hockey people held a press conference, replete with full-colour photos and demonstrator models. Nope, no players involved. This was all about replacement revenue streams. The NHL has decided to roll out a full line of new jerseys, with new colour schemes and (in some cases) logos. I mean, long after the final buzzer sounds, and your fans head home, the real reminder of a great game experience will be the new (very expensive) souvenir sweater. Sell sufficient quantities, and the shareholders won’t notice that ticket sales are down. Or that a particular club is teetering on the narrow edge of bankruptcy cliff.
Some may even notice that Colorado is getting a Nordique logo.The ultimate revenge by Bettmann et al on the city of Quebec. Meanwhile, the true believers are waiting for the second coming. You know, with that new, very costly arena as the altar.
