Donate your old clunker to Kidney Car Canada! They'll tow it away for free and give you a tax receipt

If you have an old car that you want to get rid of you can donate it to Kidney Car. They will tow it away for free and give you a tax receipt that you can stick on your fridge to show everyone that you are a hero who helped people battling kidney disease. Also, you can use that receipt to claim it on your taxes... see kidneycar.ca.

Side Note: they should have a car like the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, except it's shaped like a kidney.

More... The MTV Music Video Awards seem like they're bigger than ever with names like Taylor Swift and Post Malone dominating the trophy haul last night. Fun Fact: The show was originally scheduled for Tuesday Sept 10th but they moved it to the next night because of the US election debate. This meant the New York City awards ceremony happened on the anniversary of September 11th.

Amazing Race Canada in Miramichi for last night's episode

The Amazing Race Canada contestants flew into Moncton Airport and drove to Miramich in last night's ep. Video Link 
Icymi… Amazing Race Canada primer: Racers started in Niagara Falls and go through a bunch of  Canadian provinces, finishing in Edmonton. winners get CA$250,000, a trip around the world, and two new  Chevys. Season started on CTV July 2, 2024... wikipedia link
Last night's ep roundup: 
• Teams flew to Moncton and drove to Neguac. They searched an oyster farm for a gold oyster. (Scotty note: I've only seen the promo, but it looks like Red Bank is also featured.)
• Paddy Quinn, Deputy Mayor of Miramichi, greeted teams at one point.
Next Tuesday (Sept. 10) it's the finale.... contestants will fly out of Moncton into Alberta. (Scotty note: remember when we flew out of Moncton to rhe north pole?! Good times, good times. Here's a LINK)
Funal thoughts (praise for the Amazing Race Canada crew)
The places they go to look great on TV...  like there's one scene this week where they are learning a dance in front of the dollar store and it looks beautiful! The most beautifully-shot dollar store you'd ever see on television. And they pronounced Miramichi right!, which doesn't happen everyday. 9/10 would recommend.
