STAY ON TOPIC.

The whole McMansion thing in the Thank you Meta thread is horrible. I think anyone who contributed to that trainwreck should really think about what they are trying to accomplish.

That topic was to thank Meta, period. It's not a place to recycle the tired left vs. right rut many of you like to argue.

I read that tonight and thought about how I would react if I were Meta.

"Oh how nice, a thank you thread... WTF... You jerks."

 

I've found myself not even wanting to log into this board and rather just observe anonymously. The only reason I do is to see what posts have had activity since last viewing.

Do you hear what I'm saying here Docents? This place kind of sucks. Be at our service! You need to do something.

Interesting financial news today, the American dollar is exchanging evenly with the Canadian.

On the bright side, those Canadian coins I sometimes get in change are actually worth something. And trips to B.C. might be less confusing.

 

(I did some digging and it was 1976.)
