The wines of Europe are not genuinely European anymore.  A biologist brought some American vines back to England to study.  He also brought with them a parasite the American vines were resistant to, but destroyed most of the vines of Europe.  To re-built the European vineyards, American strains had to be grown, and then the distinct European vines had to be grafted into the now growing American vines.

I gave my truck two 10-minute sessions of warming up before driving home after work tonight, and on a -30 C day, it was borderline warm when I got in.

Got my first "good" jigsaw puzzle score of the week tonight.

How do you get a pompous leader to realize that his holding court about all the ways in which a new product could be better, greatly diminishes the spirit of the team that managed to create it out of nothing but a few shreds of product info, a dream and a lot of hard work?

What is essential software to install on a laptop?

I lost my heater in my truck when I went to meet my sister at lunch.  The weather had dipped to a frosty -25 C according to the truck thermometer.  I know how it is to get prompt vehicle servicing but I went to SMP on Circle Drive, because what choice did I have?  You need a working heater in weather like this.  To my utter amazement, without a pre-arranged appointment they got my truck in to be looked at, and had the fan motor replaced such that I drove it home tonight.  That was an enormous stroke of good fortune if you ask me.

I bought two pair of new jeans today.  The first pair of new jeans I've got in quite a long time.  Size was a 34 waist.  I'm not immediately certain, but it may have been last millennia when I bought pants that small for myself.  And they fit great!
