"I've found it necessary to have some sort of seal over the open tube on dispensers like these.  To keep the fruit flies out.  Especially on balsamic vinegar.  There are a variety of hinged flapper tops, not unlike those you see on farm tractors exhaust vertical stacks.  These stoppers are inserted into whatever random bottle you may have to reuse, like your JW.  Trick is, like you found, to find one that isn't too tall."

"A lot like the BOB (Beast of Burden) trailer. Copied from a BOB site:  "BOB is cult. The name says it all: The thoroughbred Beast Of Burden has borne the gear of expedition professionals and true outdoors enthusiasts for over a decade. No other trailer can do it better."I don't know how available these are today.  I thought they had gone out of business. One of the hassles with a BOB has been addressed in the Beez.  Namely the ability to detach the swing arm from the body of the trailer."

"I think it is an interesting alternative to having a TV, especially in a micro-apartment or condo.  Wall space is precious and you can see in the video, covered with basic shelving.  I'm now thinking if this is a solution to a larger display screen in a van?  Other than a projector. Hmm."

"If you live in one of the major cities in Canada, you may have a Lee Valley Tools store.  They carry the stainless steel clothes pins. They are expensive but I expect these to be the sort of thing that does get passed down over the years. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/home/laundry/clothes-pegs/69724-lifetime-clothespins"

"I thought the funky side mirrors were novel. I wonder if they will survive US NHTSA and DOT? I read that this capability (Title: Drivers' Use of Camera-Based Rear Visibility Systems Versus Traditional Mirrors) is under review: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/03/14/2022-05237/agency-information-collection-activities-submission-to-the-office-of-management-and-budget-for"

"Looks to have a similar interior surface as my Japanese Suribachi grinding bowl.  Just smaller, with an added handle and spout.  I'll have to see about picking one up somewhere.  Nice post.  Thanks!"

"To my eyes, it seems that the bent bollard broke free of the original upper support arms and what we see is a now is a new (and longer) arm welded in place.  The arm is longer to accommodate the bend.  Otherwise the original bollard was poorly installed in the first place because it would have been horribly out of vertical.  I can almost see the remains of something behind the arm.Just make it easier to replace busted parts would be my approach.  Cut, weld, paint.  Besides, it gives the place some character ..."

"Electric is a great solution for commuting right now.  However, it really complicates things on a long road trip.  At least up in Canada where the distances are long and the availability of charge stations, spotty.  Maybe VW took this into consideration?"

"My old Smart car has an automatic clutch paired to a similar +/- shifter, with the important exception that R (this is a mechanical gear transmission) is off to the side.  This provides the obviously needed separation between forward and reverse!  Since you can only remove the ignition key by placing the transmission in R.  It acts somewhat like a P(ark) function.  "

"I think it has more utility for wine (see photo with dark stained table) where you may want the bottle to stay upright, you may want to view the selection, and you may be doing more sampling.  A situation where the wine is the centre of things and the food is quite secondary."

"Canada seems to be unified with only the "Elgins".  At least what I have seen to date.  Not all is uniform in dairyland though.  Bagged milk is quite rare in Manitoba and points west, seemingly an Eastern Canada presence only."

"I always wear a bicycle helmet ... and if I forget it feels very uncomfortable.  Similar to the feeling of driving a car without a seat belt.  "
