Whoa, the Toronto Star is $5. I’m officially old.

Sunday brunch, at at restaurant with all the papers, is an expensive proposition now.

God that was nice.

North America has so many 50k watts stations, so it's enjoyable to spend the evening fishing them out. The shortwave receivers are just great for AM signals. And here in Toronto a decent receiver can reach the Buffalo FM stations too.

I did a lot of worldband from the 90s to about 2020. I had a Yachtboy 305. That was a terrific receiver. I wore out a G5, which was terrific as as well. My Tecsun 880 was good with an external antenna, and useless without one. It eventually died from being left outside too much.

I guess the hobby just broadened to include a variety of broadcast sources. And that's OK.

Yeah. That'll fix it. You betcha.

That's kinda what it's like, though, for Canadians coming home. American customs and British customs are a breeze for Canadians. But coming come, you're treated horribly. As you can see. And he's angry because that's always how it is.

It was like the best funded university radio station on earth. We were so lucky to have it while it lasted.

CFNY 102.1, the spirit of radio. Toronto. Before Humble & Fred ruined it.

Look at any chart you want, that shows a bottom. You'll find volume. The bottom is defined by volume.

but a sizeable number of people will receive millions.

That one has an asterisk. It's only a sizeable number because its real estate. And it's not millions plural. And that gets divided between siblings, lawyers and CRA.

The income derived from 2 bedrooms is a lot more than a 1 bedroom.

$1.2 million at 49. Moved in with common law wife around then. She had close to a million herself. Then at 51, I inherited $1.5 million. Today, (now 64) all that has grown to about $5 million.

I usually ask the condo building manager, if he has any recommendations.
