These Scooby Do Mystery Wagon shape van EVs seem to be all the rage. There's a company here is SE Canada making a small EV van that looks similar to the Canoo. If there ever was a vehicle called a Canoo it should have been Canadian. Ma

I don't know about snakebites but recently I read about a man who ate a Destroying Angel mushroom by mistake. He was given an antidote for the toxin which amazed that me such a thing existed. I wonder how similar if at all amatoxin and

Making $17/hr in 1994 is equivalent to $31/hr in 2023. Then again it was Alberta so even minimum wage workers were probably making $17/hr back then since housing costs would have been nuts, or anything really.

I had to start taking synthroid since about 5 years in my mid 40s. In my mid 20s I was into Tae Kwon Do and while sparring a guy taller and much heavier punch my in my neck. I have to wonder if he damaged my thyroid.

As a child of the 1970s and a teen in the early 1980s I was outside more than in even in cold Canadian winters. I have bad astigmatism and I'm also near or far sighted (can never recall which). I know just my own life doesn't null
