I wear leather boots, ankle high. The shoe store fixes em when the bottom wears out. Had em 11 years and they're still fairly pristine. Just gotta oil em every winter. Probably should do that more often.
It was $600 and $50 or so every couple years. Figure I've gotten it amortized down.
I'm hoping this means we'll actually get a high speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City sometime this century instead of just having another shelved study.
Silver lining though, cars will get more expensive, which might spur more public transit. Heh... at the very least it will make walkable places a little more desirable.
Reminds me of accounts of ww2 mass bombings, which were largely ineffective and expensive, reportedly. Military production is back in hours, and civilians become that much more radicalized against the bombers.
It simply does not work to bomb civilian infrastructure, in addition to it being a monstrous act.
You say those like they're bad things.
