At least this would be good news for

Alberta if Donald Trump is elected in November: TransAlta (Keystone XL) should make another application. Many people are saying that it doesn't mean that Keystone would get rubber stamped right away but that it would get closer to become reality. 

Since "Game of Thrones" came out in book form, I bought and read the first book. I have the 1st 4 books which, I have and don't intend on reading the others anytime soon. Not that there is anything wrong with the series or the writing. Its just that I have too much other things I want to read more. Sure I could watch the television series on HBO and I watched parts of the first one and it was good but its just not what I'm into right now. 

Last February my other job invited me back for their Spring campaign beginning March of this year. Apparently this letter of invitation to begin in September for their winter campaign was sent out early last month with a response due date for July 31st. I talked to the boss over the phone on the 27th of last month, and apparently the returned letter was sent out to "where I receive my pay stubs" and based on that over the phone conversation I would be hired on in September. I have yet received any letter. Because I save everything, I looked for this letter for the last Spring campaign and I found it. The boss dated and signed herself February 4th 2016. I emailed the boss in February, saying I'd accept job. For some reason they had an older address dated from when I was working there before Anne and I got married. I think the team leader was supposed to send out the letters but because the office was in a state of being moved no letters were sent out. Its a very confusing situation.

My wife is enjoying watching some of the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. I'm proud of our Olympic athletes don't get me wrong. However I don't think winning bronze is something to get all that excited about. So far Canada has yet to win a Gold medal at Rio. I think the Edmonton AA Prospects baseball team have a better chance to win a title before Canada gets a gold medal this summer. We got 1 gold medal at the London Summer games. I'm more of a fan of the Winter Olympics anyway. Canada seems to do better in the Winter Olympics but there's still lots of time. Anyway, that's all for now.
