Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

A section of the store parking lot has an island strip with bushes and bark. This is not directly in front of the entrance, the "prime" parking. The part of this row that faces the store is mostly empty and I park there. When I get out, the whole row is completely filled, but the other side of the island remains empty.

Took me forever to figure out what these were called, glass retainer clips. But I need them without the knob that faces down. Any idea what I should be looking for?

Two nights in a row dreaming about Migleemo? I'm not obsessed at all. Nope.

Could be worse. You could be dreaming about Moopsy.

I just realized that my Halloween username is really more appropriate for December. Well, at least it has "ghost" in it.

What are they used for?

What are they used for?

Holding glass in place for cabinet doors and whatnot, but the part that holds the glass isn't indented so I need flat ones. But everything I've seen on Amazon has a knob of some sort. Found a flat one called a storm door fastener, but it's too big.

Minor celebrity encounter. I went to the Back To The Future musical and walked right past Mikey Day from SNL during intermission.

The former is much safer to hug.

I've been told not to leave my car registration in the car. I've also been told to leave in the car. What do you do?

Mine's in the car. If you get pulled over, they ask you for it.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Logically, the car should be the only place you keep the registration. There's nowhere else you could possibly need it.

In the car with proof of insurance.

Shall I try for a third consecutive night of Best Birb dreams?

I don’t leave mine in the car. I was told years ago by a colleague that if your car gets stolen, having your registration in the car just makes it very easy for them to fraudulently transfer ownership.

Of course these days, if my car were to be stolen, it’s much more likely to be driven to Montreal and then shipped overseas, so the ownership thing probably doesn’t matter as much. But habits and all.

I should put something in my stomach besides the popcorn and sweet vermouth I've been consuming while watching DS9 today.
Considering cooking a banana and sweet potato curry...

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I don’t leave mine in the car.

So what will you do if you get pulled over?

I mean, you can't exactly keep your registration in your wallet (that'd be even easier to steal than the car), and cops aren't likely to accept a photocopy.

I was told years ago by a colleague that if your car gets stolen, having your registration in the car just makes it very easy for them to fraudulently transfer ownership.

You have to have the title to legally transfer ownership of the car.

In any case, just keep the registration locked in the glove compartment. Easy peasy.

That is actually what I do. It's in my wallet, along with my driver's license and proof of insurance... other things that I will need if I'm pulled over. When I'm in the car, then it's there in the car with me, as per the law, and when I'm not in the car, it's not.

This may be a jurisdictional difference? In Ontario, we only have the one thing.

Note that that linked government site itself tells you to keep the original somewhere safe, and that you can leave a copy in the car if you want.

And if your wallet is lost or stolen (which is much more likely than the car)? What then?

Then I honestly have bigger problems.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Just lock the glove compartment and be done with it. It won't permanently keep thieves out, but it will delay them long enough that perhaps it won't be worth it.

UPS handed my packages off to the post office to deliver today, and they were delivered by an Amazon van.
