Ok, had some computer issues...I may have solved the majority of them. And without having to reboot my whole and entire computer. I still think that I will be attempting some more work... not that I'm knowledgeable about computers or anything.
So, here's my latest observation. Was at the grocery store the other day, and noticed that the grocery carts in this store now have coffee cup holders on them. Is this society truly ruled by coffee breaks and coffee? Let's see.... a Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Second Cup, all within 1 km of each other.5 minutes away, another Second Cup, a Starbucks within the Safeway store and a Fresh Start deli place which for sure serves coffee. All the coffee stores have drive thrus, all the gas stations have a coffee bar. And now, after you've gone through the coffee drive thru, you can go grocery shopping without the risk of spilling your coffee! Just for the record, the lady in front of me at the grocery store check out line did have a coffee, but did not use the coffee cup holder. She preferred to balance it precariously in the child seat basket in the front of the cart.

I hope your computer is feeling better . . . computer issues suck!
I have to admit that I've yet to see a shopping cart with a coffee cup holder. This is particularly surprising since I live in Coffee Central. But maybe it's because I don't use ever use shopping carts. I'll have to have a look the next time I'm at Safeway or Save-On.
Of course, I think the whole thing is ridonkulous . . . and it kind of puts me in a geeky analytical mode as my brain shouts out, "WHY?!?!" Is it because we have so much disposable income that we can afford to walk around with some premium exotic blend latte every single moment of every single day? Is it just a status symbol? Is it a sheep mentality where we see one person walking around with a Starbucks coffee cup all the time, so we think that's cool and want to do it ourselves?
I have no idea, but nonsense abounds!
