Garbage Bin Grave Yard

Broken garbage bins graveyard. The city seems to have wanted to hide them, so they placed them across the road from the city barns where they keep the sand and so on stored. They are hidden behind a pile of sand way at the back of a road not many go down. to think of all that tax money spent on bins that break so easy. There are 2 of the big ones in the back of my building for us to use. They have both been replaced twice that I know of. One of the new ones no longer has lids on it. They are broken off. What can one say? They just are not made to work in an environment where they are exposed to the cold. But then again the lids broke off our new one in the summer... Sigh...

      We spent millions of this and keeps spending piles of money on a system that does not work. Yes it's sad.

      Yes a bunch of council members ran on the idea of recycling in the city. So they got in, added on a hidden tax threw the water bill to pay for it and here we are with literally a tone of plastic sitting in a city yard doing nothing. They are recyclable - I looked... So why are they just storing them in a hidden place? Sigh... BTW we don't get recycle bins in the apartment building at all. So I just toss it out. Only the houses got the bins. Best thing is ALL the water bills went up not just the houses...

The Story of Alison Botha *** SEVERE TRIGGER WARNING ***

This is of course in brief, not in detail. In December of 1994 Alison Botha was kidnapped, assorted in a Sexual manner. She was stabbed 50 plus times and her guts were hanging out. Her throat was cut 16 times and almost decapitated. But she managed to crawl on her hands and knees to the road so she would be found. BTW she wrote the names of her attackers and "I Love Mom" in the dirt as she thought she was going to die. That was before she crawled to the road. She LIVED - She is the most bad-ass person ever to be able to survive this (Most of us where just lay there and die, there is no way I could possible do what she did)! She ended up standing and walking to the road at one point. She is literally holding her guts in and holding her head on. She got to the middle of the road before she laid down so she could be seen. The first person to drive up on her, sat there for 15 minutes looking at her, then DROVE AROUND HER and left her there FFS. Tell me humanity is not a pile of g...

The World is a Scary Place Right Now

Image
It seems a lot less easy to be happy these days. The economy is horrible for the average person who can't invest a pile of money to get a decent return. Food prices have sky-rocketed in the last 2 years. Now with this mess between Canada and the USA, we face even harder times on both sides of the border. Jobs will be lost in this stupid trade war. People are already living in tents and vans when they actually are employed because of the cost of housing being out of reach for many. Food banks are maxed out across the country, and can't keep up with demand all the time. People are going hungry to pay the rent and keep the lights on. The cost of a bloody phone keeps going way the hell up as well. Last time I had a contract for 2 years it was a bit less than $80, now I'm paying $101 for less data (much less). I've seen people walk away from medications at the drug store after seeing how much it's going to be. Personally it was going to be $68 for a medication prescribed...

The Man Who Knew Infinity (2016) - A Review

Image
The Man Who Knew Infinity (2016) Based in the 1910s Srinivasan Ramanujan taught himself not only math, but math on a level only a handful of people are even close to being able to understand. Because of his endless confidence and talent, he gained notice by eminent mathematics professor,  G.H. Hardy, who invites him to work on his calculations at Trinity College in Cambridge. He has to leave his wife behind and in the UK he encounters resistance against both his cultural background and his mathematical theories of a very intuitive nature. There is further turbulence from the strict academic regiment practiced by the college, and depressional nature of British culture heading into World War I. His health begins to fail and his family wanting to isolate him from his wife, he joins Hardy in a great struggle that would come to define him as one of the greatest Minds and Scholars to come out of India. Along the way he overcomes barriers to become a great success in the eyes of history. ...
