So I wrote this whole posting assuming that as I wrote a title would come to me (as they usual do). But no so much. The BC Healthy Living Alliance, who you may remember from such blog postings as this one, tweeted about this article the other day: Focus on people, firms told Vital to […]
So yesterday I got home after work and noticed an odd noise in my apartment. I seemed like *a lot* of water running really fast. My first thought was “didn’t the landlords already water the grass on the past two days in a row? Why are they watering it again?” And then I realized it […]
