Inspected to ensure safety
This province has rules. For example, your vehicle must be inspected to assure safety is foremost. And it must be inspected every year, unless you decide to park it (safely) until the pandemic passes. The rig is back in the driveway, and we’ve paid the fee of $30 plus taxes. No big deal. Unless you count in the “rider” on the receipt; we need new shoes in the rear. Dually shoes. About a grand plus taxes. Part of that TCO that I didn’t used to understand.
Oh well. With pleasure comes responsibility. Or something along that thought line. And our window badge is the right colour to keep the Mounties away.
In this part of the world, our biggest celebrities aren’t politicians. Or athletes. We have a higher level… musicians. And when they aren’t quite famous enough, some hold down “real jobs”. This afternoon, I watched a replay of a live video moment. Something involving Facetime, or Facebook, or some interesting amalgam of the two. Anyhow, one pair of (famous) musicians were determined to drag a third performer into their moment, even if it involved technology that wouldn’t quite cooperate, and a boat at sea. That working thing. It was rather funny, even if a kid and a dog couldn’t solve the problem either. Turns out that putting an iPhone in front of a video camera can get one over the bumps in the technological highway. Good fun.
I’ve known all of the performers for decades. Let me admit that age doesn’t always mean mastery of technology. Although, as musicians, all have evolved nicely. I might even watch for their (next) attempt to attach a moment to a slow internet feed.
