I was at the grocery store yesterday,

...and there was a hiphop number playing in the background. After a while I started to pick up on some of the lyrics, and I think the artist was rapping about grocery-shopping—pretty sure there was a line about “organic radishes/without additives.”

He even name-dropped No Frills.

I’m not sure if Loblaws actually commissioned this as a jingle, or if it was all just coincidence; I mean, there are definitely rappers living in Toronto, presumably they have to pick up groceries like everyone else, and the common advice does say to “write what you know.”

Possibly Hopeful News on the COVID-19 Front

The trial's still ongoing but results so far are encouraging-- note that this is according to the manufacturer, but they're advising caution (they mention that they still don’t know how long immunity produced by the shot will last) and they stand to lose a lot if they screw this up, so I’m inclined to believe this news.
