Auto Security 40 Years Ago

If I was blogging about auto security back then, here’s what I’d be saying.

– when parking, turn off the ignition and take the key with you

– when returning to your parked car, make sure both your licence plate and VIN number plate aren’t missing

– remember to add a gas line shut-off lock

– they had car alarms back then

An Interesting Fact about UFC

Watched the fight on Saturday night, and was so surprised to learn this:

The world’s largest UFC event ever was here in Canada,
55,000 people in the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

The second largest ever was this one in Sweden, 30,000 people.

That’s a massive difference between 1st and 2nd, and interesting it was us Canadians who are so into it EH.

 

 

Here are the Spring Trends for the Home

Twice a year Canadian Tire takes over an empty space, and transforms it into a place that’s filled with the the next season’s trends. Last summer they took over a house in suburbia, and morphed it into Christmas time.

Here’s what’s coming for us this summer season.

The patterns of summer 2015 are oversized florals, watercolour patterns and bold stripes, all in brighter colours than have previously been en vogue.

Impatiens are the most purchased flower in North America. Canadian Tire designed a tougher type, the Bounce Impatient, which is supposedly extra hearty.

I’m just going to cover my entire property in this – an all-in-one flower solution: seeds + fertilizer + coir #easy

Sprinkle around, flowers bloom at different times, and the coir changes colour when it’s time to water.

 

If I put this rule here, I won’t keep forgetting it:

Perennial – plant comes up each year, over and over
Annual – plant each year because 1 seed = 1 year

A quick swing break during the kids area, because zero interest there.

Boosting your own cell signal will be a trend.

And there’s a new in-house line of products you’ll start seeing on their shelves: FRANK.

Kind’ve like the Presidents Choice of Canadian Tire.

And if you’re at the Etobicoke, ON store, enquire about being driven in the Canadian Tire limo.
