"People like this need to be punished … they have no idea what harm they are doing">

Oh, they know. They just don't care.

Gahhh! I know you're joking, but I have seen the sort of regular maintenance the workers do at public pools and never want one of my own.

Are you in Saskatoon and is that Harry Bailey you refer to?

I wasn't living here then, but when the Shaw Center was to be built in Saskatoon, apparently a public town hall type meeting was held to announce it and at the very end the city planners of the time said something like "Oh by the way, we're mothballing the Harry Bailey Aquatic Center, so this replaces it".

To their utter astonishment, people loudly protested and they were forced to back down and keep Harry Bailey. Gee, imagine that - people actually wanted a centrally located pool designed for actual swimming, so that they didn't have to drive out to the far west edge of town if they lived on the east side. The only other indoor pools in or close to the east side are tiny cramped "leisure" pools. (Lawson is bearable, Lakewood is thoroughly awful for laps.)

So, Harry Bailey was in service until early 2023 and is now undergoing a massive renovation. Looking forward to swimming there again next year. Last time I drove by they were installing photovoltaic panels on the steep roof.

 

Not quite up and running yet.

I guess Lloydminster, Saskatoon and Prince Albert are not Canadian cities then.

Dementia Donny changes his mind faster than he changes his diapers. Just wait a week.

A relative got scammed by a deepfake of a politician apparently promoting a cryptocurrency scheme. This is everywhere.

I would love to have a small electric vehicle, as most of my driving is done inside a small city. The choices are limited and too expensive for my budget.

By not buying their produce, mostly.

I hope you're wrong.

Is this news? They're both single adults. She's not on the same level as Barbra Streisand, who dated his dad once, though.
