You are so right. The day before yesterday a white man driving a VW Jetta blew through the border control at the Peace Arch border crossing between Washington and B.C. He apparently had a visible gun on the passenger seat of the car and realized that he was in trouble so he just gunned the car through the passport…

What...Hong Kong is not a backwater. The British banker types all seem to be married to blond women and the sight of a white woman walking the streets of Hong Kong, or using the Metro or really doing anything is not at all unusual.
Here in Vancouver a well known story is of a very wealthy woman who hired two somewhat sketchy “arborists” to cut down several trees that were impacting the view her recently deceased father’s home had. The trees were on the top of a cliff at the University of B.C. and were not only attractive but also an important…
You do realize it’s light at 4:00 am up north - land of the midnight sun and all.
As the story is told in our local papers, the wolf was old, sick and missing patches of hair. She was also picking morels, not magic mushrooms. Morels can command quite a bit of money on the mushroom market and the areas where they grow are increasingly attracting pickers from all over the world.
Agreed. On somewhat the same note, I went to a movie yesterday and the fool next to me held up his phone and recorded the trailers! He was on the oldish side so perhaps he didn’t realize trailers are easy to download but it was annoying. I started out thinking he was going to record the whole movie but, no, he just…
Unless the bartender is in on it. We had a bartender in my city get arrested after he was forced to take his three year old to the hospital. His child had ingested, from his home fridge, water from a bottle in the fridge that was actually just a roofie-type substance the bartender/dad was offering, for a fee, to…
Isn’t the $50M just an interim payment to keep her going for the next month or next hearing? I don’t think that is all she is asking for - probably a preemptive strike for $50M a month to retain the lifestyle to which she has become accostomed.
Where’s the picture of the horrible dessert that features aspic, marshmallows and tinned fruit - truly horrific.
Taki used to write a “society” column for (I think) Esquire magazine back in its heyday of the early ‘70s. He was fired and subsequently sent to prison for three months for trafficking cocaine. He has always been a racist fool and, quite frankly, I’m surprised he’s a presence on-line. The guy is old.
The story about the girls being abandoned has been discredited. The girls were just outright lying about being left on the side of a road - they were offered alternative transportation and rejected it. Greyhound is many things but they do know how to cover their own ass.
I wonder if the request for a private room was more of a request to be taken out of the triage area where he was presumably surrounded by others awaiting treatment. It sounds like he may have thought that there was a private room available for the more socially connected (or just plain rich) to wait for the…
The Varadero Club Med shut down years ago and, by the way, drinks are included at Club Med.
I always heard “women don’t sweat, they glow”.
When Bubba came to town for a G10 meeting he offered to go up and play the sax with a very well known local band. The sax player (good friend) had a Secret Service man come over with a clip mic to attach it to his (the excellent musician’s) instrument. That obviously wasn’t going to fly here in Canada so we were…
Thank you - it was a nightmare especially since we had two kids in school at the time.
My husband and I had the job (and, yes, it was a job) of looking after the well-being of five elderly relatives. They all eventually ended up in care and every one of the care facilities allowed alcohol (even the Catholic one). You brought the booze in and it was allocated on a daily basis to the bottle’s owner - win…
There is a certain sub-set of vegans that feed their children such things. At my son’s pre-school one of the little hippies who lived on seaweed and boiled eggs bit him so hard on his arm during story time that the bite caused a huge bruise through two layer of shirts. The mom tried to say that my meat loving son must…
The quick dissolution of a marriage in the mid-twenties rings true, at least in this city. I sometimes wonder if the build-up to the wedding, the stag, the showers, the engagement photos, all the hoopla just masks the underlying flaws in the relationship. After the ball is over reality hits and couples untangle.
And The Flash and IZombie and pretty well any CW superhero show that requires pretty people.
