I have so many bags that I have purchased from all the stores that when I was in the store the other day and did not bring one as our car was full and reaching one was just a lot of work plus we were carrying everything and it looked manageable. The clerk though said did I want a bag so said no I didn't want to buy one and could have added I have about 40 of them and just do not want to buy another one. She said she was giving me one and I just assumed would charge me as there was a lot of stuff plus it was over $100 so was surprised to see she didn't charge me after all. I guess $100 is enough for a free bag perhaps. No ideas on that. Interesting really and the bag is just I think 35 cents not sure. But I usually have one tucked into my purse so will add that one to the purse as the other didn't get returned to it.
Yesterday I spent the day working on my new computer and doing exercises since we still had a smoke warning. Shopping done for a bit as I am getting this new computer set up. The browsers are all installed now with their saved favourites carefully carried across. I do like Firefox and Google but I also like Microsoft Edge - each one of them fulfills a separate purpose in my day and very nicely actually. It is good to have different browser uses - one for news, one is work item and the other is any other items that I need to use.
My arthritis in my knee kicked in yesterday (I have spurs in my knees) and I did not run as I generally do not run at that time but today after a good session of Yoga the knees are fine. But they are nearly 80 so must be gentle with them but back to running today. I miss my running especially outside as we have smoke for the moment but running in the basement of an air conditioned house with three air purifiers works very well.
Amazing that tomorrow is the 1st of August and nice to see our government just taking their time to get the right deal (if any) as we move forward in our diversifying our trading partners and hopefully rebuilding our manufacturing lost to free trade over the past fourty years. We watched it going but life was good and who would have ever dreamed that Americans buying out our industries would be so greedy as to go offshore because they didn't want to pay decent union wages thus killing their own industries. Amazing really. But now we are on a move to recreate our lost industrial base and twice the size now we are out in the world selling the excess that doesn't get bought up here. Our first customers should be the people of Canada and there are lots of us and buying Canadian is in the air although we still buy American and from other countries as well. We do not have lots of things because we are a polar nation with a long winter.
Another good exercise day and more setting up on my new machine as I will want to get back to the matches from Living DNA. I also need to collect any new matches on the other DNA databases as it has been several months since I dipped into them.
Drinking my tea and soon on to the day.
