   Medicare is the Canadian healthcare system

   Medicare is also a US thingy. You pay for it (for me it comes out of my Social Security), but it’s so much cheaper than private insurance…

   Can they do something about pants below the underwear.

   I told my nephew that that was a prison ‘thing’, that it signaled the availability of one’s rear end for ‘love.’ He quit doing it.

   I too, have been driving for 60 years now with no crashes and no insurance claims.

   I’ve definitely had crashes in my 60 years of driving. Some of them in my youth were my fault.

   The last three I was involved in occurred in a relatively short period of time, maybe 10 years ago, and none were my fault.

   One was in the turn only lane, and decided he wanted to go straight (which, unfortunately meant straight into the side of my car.

   One decided to turn left from the right hand lane of two lanes (one-way street), right into my car (but officer, I turned my blinker on!).

   The third was sitting in the turn only lane and decided to go straight, so moved over into the next lane, right into me as I was passing.

   I miss Douglas Adams. He died way too young.

   I browsed “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” in a bookstore – put it down because it seemed boring. Years later I watched the movie and it was fantastic !

   Which is weird because I usually prefer book over movie. Loved the Tolkien / hobbits trilogy, the movies were ‘meh’ to me.

   I need to revisit Adam’s books…

    Haven’t eaten a hot dog in years. They’re pretty good (done up right), but I guess it’s what they’re made of that stops me…
