So 31C might not be what they

have in the US now but that's 86F there. A bit on the warm side for me. I usually like it around 10-23C. Even 25 is too hot. So right now its considered to be a "scorcher." Sunday, Monday and over the next few days, the weather will be a bit more to my liking. I'd rather have this then -25 with a wind chill.

Maybe you might have heard this. With our CFL we have a sponsor with TSN that has a swipe and win thing during the game for a chance to win $1 million dollars. The contestant is selected before hand. The game wasn't here at Commonwealth. The contest was that if there are 2 kick returns netting in a touchdown the winner gets the $1 million prize. So during the game the contestant selected must have felt elated when a kick return for a touchdown took place. The sponsors must have been concerned. A lot of times on these kick return td's there's a flag on the field for one infraction or another. Then further into the game on another kick return, the catcher takes to ball to the 50, to the red zone and TD! The prize winner was related. Then (here it comes) the official indicates the ball is coming back for a soft call "illegal block." So much for the $1M. Collusion? Even the panel had mentioned the call was too soft and didn't see any illegal block. This caused a lot of fallout in the league and the sponsors instead awarded the prize winner a the consolation prize instead, and agreed it was a wrong call but the leagues stands by the officials. The consolation prize was a 70" home stereo system and a bunch of other prizes. I think one of the prizes in the package was groceries for life. I can just imagine in the off season after the sponsor tweaks the prize to 3 kick returns. Collusion or what?

Yesterday I went to see about the Provincial senior services office yesterday right after I got off the lrt. They told me I need this thing called a oas letter of entitlement, which I was supposed to get last August. It's just a letter confirming to Provincial services confirming them when my oas is arriving. According to Service Canada, I'm on automatic enrolment because of my date of birth etc. The Provincial top up isn't that much. Maybe enough to cover my cable bill. The clerk at Provincial said even if I don't get one of these letters of entitlement (I got one from CPP about 4 years ago) I can bring in my bank statement showing that amount I my account and that's ok to get the Provincial thing going. It takes a year to process and they pay out retroactively. Anyway, that's all for now.
