There used to be a time when I’d freak out if my posts weren’t in chronological order. Then I realized, life’s too short, whatever, no big deal. That and I have random bouts of laziness.

CLOSED – Sammy J. Peppers – No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC

EDIT: Closed. As a gesture of thanks to Victor who helped me load and throw out a van full of garbage at the Vancouver Dump (which is actually all the way out in Delta), I treated him to a lunch. On the way back to Vancouver, we stopped in Richmond, but neither of us was read more »
