Counting Q's

On a recent road trip, I decided to count the number of words beginning with the letter Q.

In particular, I was looking for the word Quality; in print, in lights, on buildings, on neighboring vehicles on the highway. My 407 trip across Toronto yielded a total of 2 sightings of the word Quality!  On the side of a transport truck I first noted the Q word in the motto for the company..something along the lines of "quality transport"... Another sighting was also on the side of a truck; "Manufacturing Quality Vinyl Windows". That was it.   I didn't notice the word quality in any of the municipal election signs I read.  I did note the repetition of the word Service in mottos for "at your service" or "serving you better".  Has Service replaced Quality? 

On your next family road trip, play this little game.  Have your children or spouse try and find the words beginning with the letter Q and count the words Quality.  Can you find more than 2?

Hello and Welcome!

This is a first, for the first (of November that is...) in a series of personal comments and hopefully thought provoking notes of my quality journey in Canada.  This is a great opportunity for me to share with you notes and quotes demonstrating excellence in quality.  This is going to be a great trip!  This time, I choose "the path not taken" in search of new experiences to share.  Welcome to Quality Counts Canada!  Now let's 1, 2, 3 GO!
