Jasdip, it wasn’t a guess. I knew it. We take a train trip, the VIA Skeena, every so often from Jasper to Prince Rupert and one of the stations is Smithers BC. Apparently, that is where the inventor is from and it is in their museum. LOL, he’s a celebrity in them thar woods.

eta That train run also has the spot where the last Canada Post Office is where the mail was still delivered by train. It was still operating a few years ago. Penny, BC

Residents waiting for the train and their mail.

Back to yesterday's topic If people eat twice a day, 7 x 2= 14, call it 15 meals a week. And only sit at a table 20% of the time, 3 times a week. Where are they eating all the other times then? Standing up? Leaning against a wall? Sitting on the ground?
