    Sell our blood!? We don't do that up here. I traded some of my blood for a chocolate chip cookie though.

    Not blood, blood plasma, there is a difference. The FDA is in charge of this and its a 2 hour process.

    Oh! Plasma. We get a muffin for the plasma.

    ...

    Found out last night that 2 of my American cousins tested positive for the virus. One (Illinois, mid-50's) had mild symptoms. The other (Virginia, 20's) was pretty sick. Both recovered OK.

    Related to Covid-19 discussion on global car sales this video from AutoCar India describes the sales drop by manufacturer in their country. Dramatic to say the least. I like this YouTube channel because they review cars, bikes, pickups, SUV’s with a amazing variety of vehicles not available in the North American market.

    Interesting video. Suzuki is king, Toyota and Honda have a small market share, and Mitsubishi isn't even listed.

    Imagine all the Suzuki Jimny's.

    If I could wish one brand back to North America, it would be Suzuki. I find their line of small vehicles to be quite interesting. This is their present UK line up of vehicles -

    The Jimny is interesting, but I would probably buy a new Swift. A car like the Swift, you have to see the design in real life to see if you like it.

    Practicality-wise it's a winner. 5 doors means versatile, comes in hybrid option which makes sense these days, with the extreme ups and current downs of gas prices etc. The new UK Swift has a nice and plain interior, and the car comes in a manual. I would definitely check it out if I could. Sorry Suzuki fans, North America is not the marketplace for small car fans!

    Plus covid corona virus really tanked the price of oil that much more than it was already falling to. Small car companies don't stand a chance when most people prefer bigger, higher, more powerful vehicles.

    Price of oil keeps getting lower:/ they’re expecting Alberta to have 25% in employment whoo hoo! I just saw the end of another depressing conference. I sure hope they have as much faith in their predictions as I have in them Name:  6E1FB9DE-29A7-44DE-AC91-AF8293131B49.jpg

    I guess we can just hope those predictions don't come true.

    If this virus truly does wreck the world economy, China could be looking at serious consequences. What better way to forgive the billions America owes China than turning Beijing into glass? Unimaginable to think about but its a minute possibility, especially if the rumors are true this was a bio-weapon accidentally unleashed. Name:  3vston.jpg
