    German pancakes this morning with local store brand pure maple syrup. Although we usually by Vermont syrup when we are back east, we ran out and had to buy local. Was surprised to read "Product of US and Canada."

    We're not in the Vermont area; left Upstate NY 50 years ago. Care very little about the Queen and her family. If it wasn't for your maple leaf cookies and St. Joseph Oratory, we wouldn't pay much attention to Canada either.

    The transition

    Better than the no balls, no brain it replaced. A step to B with B. Thus the preface "if one can believe AI". I don't seek answers from AI on anything that is important.

    The transition

    As long as we have national leadership with balls. Obviously with a $770 average payment, it's not about the math for many people. Those that "it's about the math" are buying used cars. If one can believe an AI summary, 1st quarter EV sales were down over 25%. Which is the direction I...

    People in the States where these are not available. Anyone that has determined the EV thing doesn't match their lifestyle. Same people that haven't been buying EVs so far for whatever reason Anyone that doesn't like sitting in a small vehicle.
