Episode 96 - Pepper Covered Cat Fur Balls

David Bowie in the Puffy Shirt

We started out this week by talking about the death of David Bowie.  Bowie was a big deal musically and really influential.  I was never a huge fan, though I liked his stuff.  Isabelle felt roughly the same way.  As noted, we both like his music a lot (it was just never a huge deal to us.) Neither of us were affected by the death of Lemmy from Moorhead.

We then went from there and talked about the TV show Mr. Robot which we just finished.  Watch it.  Seriously.

Out last segment ended with us talking about why people go to the US to shop when the dollar is so low, and, about Isabelle's upcoming afternoon.

Episode 95 - Isabelle is the Voice of a Generation

Before we get going, thanks to everyone for the comments both on the website and last week on Facebook.

So, upshot of that 'why don't we have a battery health indicator in the car' is that we needed a new battery.  It was a crazy week that way.  It was super cold suddenly (and isn't now) but that was the final nail in our battery's coffin as we had super cold winters two years in a row.

It'd be a shame if something happened to your nest.

We then discussed cowbirds and the 'mafia hypothesis'.  (That's the real name, click the link there, you'll see).

We then talked a bit about what happened the next day, after the battery.  Isabelle's ATM card was compromised, along with many others' in town.  So that was her Tuesday.

Then we were off to find some plexiglass!  Yay!

Finally, I gave Isabelle the title of the voice of a generation with her art.

Episode 94 - Loyalty Points

In our first podcast of 2016 we went shopping and even got gas!  Exciting times indeed.

Today's major topic was loyalty points, you know like frequent flyer points, Air Miles, PC Points and all of that.  It seems that most of our wallets are filled with points cards rather than actually useful things.  We have used Air Miles though a few times and I have cashed in aeroplan points a couple of times.

We then talked about Uber and taxis.  Are taxis a public service?  Should they be protected?  If so, why?
