Does buckets of old nails count? Which are also next to my buckets of old screws.
I do a lot of renovating and construction, some on contract but mostly for myself, and I save so much stuff from my work … screws, nails, nuts, bolts, washers, wire, scrap wood, scarp plywood, glass, metal, roof tile, rubber products, plastic products, unique rocks, concrete block
I’m indigenous Canadian and I grew up poor in the 80s and I was raised by parents who were born in the wilderness in the 1940s. For a while I saw my grandparents who saw everything new as wondrous and special … my grandmother saved every plastic bag that was still good and had only been used once. My grandfather collected scrap wood of anything and cobbled them together to build boxes, utensils or just build a hunting shack. I got my habits from my dad who worked every single day and just collected stuff on his way saving everything in case he needed it … 50% of the it made sense and he did indeed use stuff he had kept around, the other 50% meant he just kept a forever pile of stuff that rusted and deteriorated in the yard.

If you ever get the chance, you should do a cross country trek … Pacific to Atlantic (or vice versa) … it’s not that difficult as Canada is a pretty laid back country. You’d have to go searching for really terrible places and neighborhoods to be in any real danger.
And if all you’re searching for is a classic poutine then go straight to southern Quebec and search for any place that serves fresh cut fries, big chunks of Quebec cheese curds and hot, hot gravy.
And even if you can’t find these things or can’t see all of it, you should visit Canada in any way you can because all of it is a beautiful place. Remember, it’s not a matter of ‘if you can’ … it’s ‘when you can’.

All joking aside, I live in northern Ontario where we have a large enough French Canadian culture up here and poutine is everywhere in just about every chip stand you can find.
A good true original Quebecois style poutine will be served with curds and gravy … most places will even refer to it as just ‘Quebecois Poutine’
A lesser, cheaper style is one where they just use mozzarella cheese instead. Most places just classify this as a ‘Regular Poutine’. There are also many places that will use cheddar or some other type of cheese as a substitute.
And if you are ever wandering around this part of the country, or in most other places around Canada and you order a poutine … ask them if it is a Regular or Quebec poutine … the difference is in asking if the poutine has curds or any other type of cheese.
I mentioned that in order to fix your poutine without curds by playing the Canadian National anthem … you should probably change that to instead playing the unofficial/official Quebec anthem Gens du pays

When you can’t find curds … we just use regular mozzarella … you can fix it by playing the Canadian national anthem while you eat

Poor lady for being imprisoned like this … but it should be a warning to everyone travelling to / from / or through the US. If you are even wondering about anything unusual or different about your documentation / VISA / permits or whatever … avoid going anywhere near the US. There is so much crap happening down there now that if you end up getting stuck in their system for something small, you might end up getting stuck there for days, weeks, months or years.

Go forward in your mind about 20 or 30 years after having gone through your current position or situation without positive or negative change. Pretend that everything just coasts along at the same pace.
What would your future self say to you right now.

Meanwhile, whatever no name corp has a fully loaded container of whatever material in the cargo hold under the aircraft that probably wasn’t scanned, screened or checked because the airport, airline and loading companies all work on a system of trust in order to ship and load everything as fast as possible.

Maybe this is the remnant of the last technological civilization that collapsed and disappeared, leaving behind a super massive floating wastepile in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually settled into where it is today. Along with all the survivors that have long since forgotten where they came from.
