Some quickie one-liners today.

Item: Juimiin’s little tikes for the trash article reminded me of the above photograph.

Item: A follow-on from this batch of Toronto government propaganda, we now pay for building-sized versions of the above picture. To speak the full truth, they might include an admission that fish poo from the lake ends up in your tap. Yes, incoming water gets purified somewhat. But the mentality seems just so urban: all that’s dirty or smelly must come from people. It all makes one want to read some poetry.

Item: UPS is a poor courier for US-to-Canada mail order. The customs brokerage fee they regularly charge, $48, is much higher than others. Consider FedEx or plain old USPS instead.
