More news about the power outages brought on by snowstorm in Toronto, Ontario. Heavy snowfall in that province of Canada made it chaotic for so many home owners to vacate their place and moved to community centers to keep themselves warm. Although there are houses with fire place where they can burn yule logs still is not safe to be inhaling all the smoke it gets through the house. To stay inside their vehicles for the long duration of winter boredom you end up day from inhaling of carbon monoxide. It's fatal! Nope you can't smell it. Oh my ! Just the usual every year dilemma of winter. Power lines been cut off when tall trees keep falling on the lines thus resulted to power outages. Looking at how affluent the neighborhood who would have thought that only few have power generator. One Samaritan helped other neighbors have a generator to keep them warm. How nice! Next time they should purchase generators so that when times like this or any kind of calamity they can cope up with the cold winter season. Lessons learned that my family keep a generator of our own just in case.
I think somehow they knew already the effect of such devastating effect of winter storm that some of them were out there enjoying their holiday vacation somewhere in the tropical countries. But beware hoodlums! All those houses are protected by alarms. That's the great good thing living in such wealthy, richy environment.
Darn! I was thinking about the leaf blower and the two round X'mas tree stand holders that were stolen from our garage and the leaf blower from the place of work. Who will do such nasty act of crime? Maybe will install an alarm and a video security camera just like the popular TV series : "Person of Interest" where every corner of the city has surveillance videos. Where every action is caught by the digital camera. London in UK has some kind of security like that and in New York. Expensive and costly! Computer monitoring of every action per second throughout the day and night? That's where the money goes. Don't expect that the pension of every person in that city to go up nor there'll be pension available. The sad part of life.
There'll be no thieving or any kind of crime being committed when you treat people as they are, imperfection required and maybe when children are moulded to the right education at home and in school. Character Education subject should be added in the student's curriculum in ELEMENTARY so that when they grow up they know the value of such education. Teachers have to set a good example to their students.
Husband bought a square type Xmas tree stand holder which is costly, found that it's worth $ 18.99 at Walmart. Not on sale!
Boxing Day was crazy for so many of us. I woke up at 4:30 AM yesterday but I was not in the mood to have that panic buying of a 55" TV Element that was on sale. We already have a 50" TV. I think that's good enough. There are only few items or products that were on sale and not even good enough to buy. Or it's because some of them were sold already. Some items are priced so high. OVER PRICING IS REALLY, REALLY BAD!
There was a long line up at Target store. At least this new store is catching up with the competition. Walmart, Target and Dollar Store have same priced items now too! How incredible is that? It's terrible I think. I mean really if the competition becomes so tight, people will go shop at the store with the lowest price. Whether its' the quality that matters, people will still buy cheap products for the sake that they will wear those clothes once or twice and then it will be given away or donate to the thrift shop. It's the same with the shoes and bags.
However there are few people who will have a collection of their clothes, shoes and bags as if they are their prime collection. They are the hoarders!
Some people I know are rich because they are thrifty. They would rather shop at the thrift shop for less than what you bargain for. Nothing's bad with that at least they have a good warm home, they have vehicles and most importantly they have financial capability to live without asking others to pay for their rent, pay for all the things they need and food they have to eat everyday.
