First post to the new Blogware blog, which I'm testing since my friends at Tucows told me "hey, this thing's better than Blogger."

It definitely does have a host of cool features.

Anyway, for now, this will be one of those inane "personal" blogs containing mostly unprofitable observations. I "serious-blog" elsewhere.

So for my first random observation...

While Christmas shopping at Sherway Gardens last week, I was in The Bay and happened upon some quirky graffiti in the rest room. "Long live Eatons and Simpsons -- down with overpriced Bay."

Notwithstanding the factual basis for the claim -- at The Bay, I constantly find I'm getting 40% off on socks that I would have paid full price for, which makes me wonder if profit is something they understand -- I hail this as a true example of Canadian graffiti. Nostalgic, practical, and focused, the writer -- likely a mild-mannered male in his late sixties -- declares his opinion, and gets not a lick of argument in return. After all, who doesn't miss Simpsons?
