Yup. Because of all the damn snowbirds. weekly we have wrong way drivers on our freeways causing crashes. Confused old people from other places in almost every instance.

Sure, always blame others for your problems.

Aren't you constantly blaming Southies?

Pretty much.

I mean, see for yourself. Here's 2020's data, most recent available from ADOT. It's not kids, and the drunks are somewhat on par with national average. 55 and up have the highest fatality rates. You tell me what that means, since you're the expert.

Wow another peeve for me today!

So...how about waiting in a 40 min long line at the prescription pharmacy, only to get up to the counter & find out your prescription was NEVER called in, from last week.

So go back to the doctor ofc, wait 20 min, then find out they Did sent that prescription over to pharmacy last week! So, get a hard copy of the prescription, anyway, then go back to pharmacy, wait in another 40 min long line to hand them the darn paper they said they never got (liars) & have them tell you it'll be 3 hrs before you can pick it up, which means...yep, you guessed it...wait in another 40 min long line to pick it up! Arggggh!!!

Patience...I have none! (Unless it is dealing with animals, for them I have unlimited patience.)
They say the older we get, the more patience we will have...sorry, but I find the opposite to be true.

Yeah, a peeving day for sure! Gotta laugh & get something to eat so Angry doesn't turn into Hangry. Then hug my chickens. Can't be in a foul mood when in a fowl mood.

Age isn't the accident factor in these parts. Young or old, drunk driving or drugs (prescription & illegal) are the cause of most. It's really sad, a nation of drunk and/or drugged dizzbrains, of ALL ages, are behind the wheel these days.

Friends, we need to talk about how still / standing / massive bodies of water should be level in photographs. The ocean does not typically tilt to the left or the right when you are standing on the beach looking at it under normal circumstances, and it should not tilt left or right in your photographs either. Same with lakes, ponds, etc... Use the water as your level horizon whenever possible and rotate your images to get it level.

Thank you,

So those of us from Ontario are still welcome to visit I hope?

The main road through nearby town used to be the highway on the edge of town. Now with so many new houses of both sides it has become the main road. It has shopping malls springing up both sides. Local council decided to redevelop the road and have put in traffic circles at every intersection. I cringe watching the big tractor trailers having to maneuver through.
