Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 15, 2019 Report Posted April 15, 2019 Paris is lovely this time of year. We have been a few times and the city will never be the same. Notre Dame has survived so much and it will be rebuilt, but it will never be the same. It truly was at the heart of Paris and the centre of the city. Quote

shrader Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 My office is on the 4th floor. Right now there's a grasshopper on the window (no ledges or anything, just a flat wall of glass). I know it's nothing crazy, but I'm probably going to spend the whole day waiting to see where it goes next. My money's on a bird swooping in. 1 Quote

Winston Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 I might find myself in Montreal for the first time this August. I’d be accompanying my wife as she attends a science conference.

Ogre Posted April 21, 2019 Report Posted April 21, 2019 My truck blew a brake line on the front left wheel a few miles from my house on my way home from the job tonight. I’m very rural and had five stops that could easily be coast through. One complete stop, smoke bellowing from the burning brake fluid. Thankfully I live on the top of the hill because there was no fluid left to slow for the driveway. I hope @MODO Hockey wasn’t so angry at my Olofsson comments that he’d fly from Sweden to sabotage my brakes. I’m sorry dude.? Quote

He's wanted in three countries (Iceland, Denmark, San Marino) for selling Girl Scout cookies without a license, lechery, and distributing ammunition (stones for people armed with slings, from what I've heard).
