Yes, I noticed that too. But the reason given - or at least part - could have continued the reduced availability to the point they don't want to mark them down as Js suggested.

I am starting to think wife and I may never be able to leave at the same time again, we did today for about 2 1/2 hours but the apartment was baking when we got home and poor dog was not happy, just gets too hot with the windows closed, but its not safe to leave the windows open when not home, so best solution of the dog can't come, someone just stays home.

Got an email from the place we used to get our dog food from, and they are having to move as the building they are in is being torn down for condos, I hope they continue to do well at their new location, they are losing their advantage downtown, hopefully their customers will continue to support them now that they had to relocate outside of downtown, they are a nice group of people who run the store.

Hopefully the rest of the provinces follow, and hopefully the eligiblity requirements wont be too difficult for patients with CF to meet, but good news for CF patients in Ontario, Alberta, and SK though, this drug is pretty revolutionary for CF and patients and groups have fought a battle to even get it approved, which finally was done in June, and now finally got some provinces to provide coverage for it, as few people with CF can afford the 300,000 a year the drug costs.
Unlike other medications used for CF, that treat the symptoms, Trikafta targets the cause which is a faulty protein that causes people with CF to have thick mucus that clogs up the lungs and digestive system.
Science has come a long way with CF and there might be a day when people with it will be able to live a full life, in 1962 average life expectancy for someone with CF was 10 years old, today the average is 37.5 years, and people born today who have CF are expected to be able to realistically live to their 50's.

MIL neighborhood has been on a lock down for a couple hours after a man was reportdly walking around with a rifle in the area.
I'd think if the RCMP haven't found anyone, and there has been no reports of any shooting, that maybe its not real, or it was just an idiot who is now hiding at home realizing they were an idiot.

Was in my condo's hot-tub tonight, no-one was around thank goodness. Turned off the bubbles and did my impression of the last minutes of Brian Jones’ life. I turned them [bubbles] back on and did other impression of the hopeful drowning of Simon Le Bon but with a dead and suspiciously underage fluffy Persian kitten. I suppose underaged and kitten is rather redundant. Anyway it was a lovely evening.
