I have heard that one of the problems that the google cars have is that they follow the rules too well - which is unexpected behavior for most drivers.

Thanks for the post Ivandh. I guess they will need to do a lot of work with the computers before this system will be ready for the general public.

Cape Breton Island is very HOT thanks to Donald Trump !!! Yes the interest in that island is going great guns on the internet thanks to people from the USA who plan to move away from their home country if Trump becomes President. Cape Breton Island is located off the east coast of Canada in the Gulf Of St. Lawrence, just a short boat ride east of Prince Edward Island.

People PLEASE Try To Remain CALM !!! A very very serious problem has come up for the citizens of Canada. Yes it seems that the workers at the distillery that makes Crown Royal Whisky have gone on strike ( please, no sobbing while reading this post ). I feel that we should band together and write to our Prime Minister have him order these people back to work ASAP.

So are there any Starbucks fans out there ? And if there are then are your Lattes being filled to the top or not ? Yes a class - action lawsuit has been started against Starbucks for cheating their customers by not giving out what they are charging their customers for ( do they think they are the Volkswagen Company or something ?   rofl ).

Whenever I need a cup of joe I always go to my trusty Mr. Coffee. A good thermos-full saves quite a lot on lattes in the long run - apparently even more than we thought!

i've never understood those that would go to a starbucks, pay for coffee that they could easily make at home, and sit with their coffee with their heads in their laptops.

as if it's social?

Thanks for the posts.   ---   We have lost a " Character " of the political game. Rob Ford the former mayor of Toronto has passed away from cancer at age 46 ( he did make politics quite interesting for a while ).

Thanks for the post SaintGermain32105, however all of those numbers confused me, was that an odd or was it an end   lol.

And now for an item from the lighter side: " Bavarian doughnuts ". Yup the other day I saw a package of these tasty items at a local supermarket ( and yes I took them home   lol ). These Bavarian doughnuts are close to Berliners in size and shape but are however covered in chocolate. Mind you I do think that real Bavarians would get a quite chuckle out these little " dough dodgers "   lol.

In this thread we have covered some serious crimes. For example there was the Canadian maple syrup caper ( and a very sticky situation it was too ). Then there was a Diamond heist ( where has my " Precious " gone ? ). We also had a Almond heist as well ( done by the " Nutty Professor " perhaps ? ). And now we have the great Chocolate robbery of 2016. Yes close to 190 tons of the stuff have been stolen from Lindt & Sprungli in Rome, worth over $ 17 million dollars ( quite a haul   lol ).   

ivandh

That is quite a haul of chocolate. I hope they don't get tummy-aches.

badenwurtca

Thanks for the post Ivandh. Mind you 190 tons of Chocolate would not be that easy to move, perhaps it was an inside job.

AlCzervik

might be the maple syrup people. maybe they know those that need their sugar fix.

badenwurtca

Thanks for the post AlCzevik. Yes instead of the " Hole in the Wall Gang " we may have the " Sweet Tooth Gang " doing these crimes   lol.

so, there is a cable channel here that shows old carson reruns. johnny is considered the king of late night tv, and, it's still funny.

there was a commercial between guests where mariah carey was in it.

quite the contrast, i thought. johnny-enduring talent. mariah-flash in the pan. and, it reminded me of how, nowadays, and, even when mariah was popular, how people are quickly crowned as the best. ever. biggest thing in entertainment since groucho.

the best last. the stones. nicholson.
