The TD bank machines talk…sort of!

And You Think You’re Having A Bad Day
Read this, and check out the names on these poor bastards. Suddenly the silly jokes people made about my last name when I was a kid aren’t so annoying anymore. Thanks to whoever it was that sent me the link to this. I deleted the email and can’t remember your name now, but full credit …
Caladonia Debate Continues
This was left on the comment board underneath post on the situation in Caladonia. The man clearly knows what he’s talking about this had been bumped fairly far down the page by the time I found the comment so I wanted to make sure everyone saw it. He refutes a couple points that I made. …
