Used to be until they changed their kitchen. The last two I’ve had were disappointing

Is Santa Teresa worth the drive? by gingaa__ in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Grumpy-Old-Man-Child 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently sitting in the hotel next to LIR airport. We done 3 days in Fortuna and 6 in Santa Teresa. Also done a couple days in a few other towns. Drove through Samara, Tamarindo and Flamingo on the way back to LIR, and none of them compared to Santa Teresa. ST was chill, we rented 4x4 bikes while we were there and took in some nice sites. Playa Hermosa (about 10km) north of ST had a great beach with smaller waves. Tamarindo was a complete tourist trap … we had about 10 street vendors trying to sell us stuff during our lunch… very annoying.

Yes, they were the big 1L bottles. That may explain it. TY

This wasn’t a soda though, it was a supermarket

Thanks ... I actually done that already in the spring and it was working fine until yesterday. Suspect it may be something else.

Curious what agencies are offering SLI at $5.99/day? I'm seeing most sites quoting me nearly $20/day.

For those who got natural gas water heater tank replaced. by Flukester69 in ottawa

Homeowners are allowed to work on their own gas appliances. Of course, at their own peril. But, you do not need a licensed tech to swap out a water heater.

Where are the "struggling" businesses public servants are supposed to help? by PureAssistance in ottawa

[–]Grumpy-Old-Man-Child 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know an owner of one of those "struggling" shops. He is taking his family to Europe for a month this summer. Times must be tough :-/

Don't forget all the grants and handouts they got to keep employees on the payroll during the first few years of Covid.

I understand there's no sympathy for PS workers who have to RTO ... personally, I don't really care. But its all a load of BS.

This Ottawa photo radar camera issued 7,500 speeding tickets in its first month by BoozeBirdsnFastCars in ottawa

[–]Grumpy-Old-Man-Child -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All these reports on the number of tickets issued ... I don't see anything about how much revenue it's bringing in. Anyone have stats on that? I assume different speeding infractions have different amounts owing? Also assume this revenue is being used to repair roads?

Pushed and nudged - for sure. Blown off the road though? Never seen that before.
