    A side note: A horse doesn't naturally want to be a "leader" in the herd. It just wants to know who is, and will follow by instinct. If it accepts you as the leader, it will do these things. If, however, you don't show leadership, it will take up the role.

    @George-K Yup, that is why I don't have a big opinion against driverless cars. There are so many idiot human drivers out there, but driverless overall will probably be an improvement.

    15 years ago when I went to a pub with my colleagues I ordered a beer. Today I order wine. I guess I’m part of the problem.

    He hasn't died yet after all those hurricanes, so I suggest you stay close to him while he's there.

    @Klaus said in Happy Birthday jon_nyc: This won't happen again. I'll install a Cron job on the TNCR server to play HBD and show the American flag on the TNCR homepage for the full duration of each of your precious birthdays! I assume this is only for @jon-nyc , right?

He really should have.

    Although I have to say I had the worst Skyline cheese coney ever last night at Riverbend Music Center. I’m sure it was made around the original 9/11. Ugh. John Legend, however, was fantastic. I didn’t know much about his music or his vocal abilities. Now I do.

    The floor routine… Wasn’t there an Austrian or something that should have won gold, but was penalized for stepping out of bounds? The pproblem was she didn’t actually step out of bounds?

    Back to subject... Weird storm. NE is usually where the highest winds are found. Francine, because of wind shear, is strongest on the NW. Weird.

    Again, don't obfuscate the simple fact that Trump's hours and schedule would have killed Biden. Killed. Graveyard dead, killed.

    One point Trump made in the debate is that the Biden admin had an opportunity to repeal Trump's tariffs on china, but hasn't. This was in the context of Kamala claiming tariffs were a terrible idea. I think the moderators took Trump's cue and asked Kamala why the Biden administration hasn't repealed them, and she avoided the question.

    Which other than being a federal rather than provincial explanation is the same Not exactly. Although I am almost 100% certain that she would have been charged under the Federal Criminal Code rather than legislated Provincial statute. It will become clear when she appears in Court and the charges are read. Provincial statutes normally although not always, only cover regulatory violations such as traffic excepting Dangerous Driving and Impaired Driving (both defined and prosecuted under the Federal Criminal Code), improper storage and disposal of industrial and hazardous waste materials or workplace health and safety issues. If willful negligence is determined as the cause of the regulatory violation jail time for those responsible could be the result. Perhaps the woman deserves the charges levied. May not have been the first time her bad behaviour warranted police intervention to settle a dispute with her neighbours. She had probably been duly warned; perhaps more than once.
