order a Maximus pizza. We might have 2/3rds of the rent covered and the balance in 2 weeks for July, could we justify a luxury like that? I was reluctant but ok since I had enough to pay for it. It was a 2 for one 10 inch. I have half of it left for later.
This referendum in the UK about to take place today reminds me of the Yes/No 51+ Quebec referendum in 1995. A yes vote basically said Quebec would leave confederation (Canada). I was really right into this at the time watching the nail biting drama about to unfold. Oh no, what if this breaks up the country? It would spell disaster. I voted No. Quebec must remain part of Canada. Knowing what I know now about the Billions $ Quebec receives in form of Transfer payments every year from Alberta, I would have voted Yes for Quebec to leave. If such a Quebec referendum to leave Canada occurs again inspired by the British referendum now underway, I'd vote yes, leave. If such a referendum occurred to leave Canada it would be over this notion Quebec has of being a distinct society. In that case Yes, leave and don't let the door hit your butt on the way out. These types of referendums are one shot affairs.
I'm up at 10am tomorrow morning to get ready to leave for my job interview. I have no expectations. I'll be leaving out of here about 11am bring my book. Its a bit West of Kingsway Mall. Another call came in yesterday and I got that number to call as well. If I leave with nothing, I'm ok with that. Anyway, that's all for now.

Here I thought it was just me being a slow reader that maybe I just never
developed a skill for fast reading. I finished early (this morning) "Scream of Eagles," (soe). It's 319 pages in length. There's enough action to keep me turning pages. I read this book in 6 days! That's the main story for me as I write this. I've read a lot of science fiction, fantasy etc, and a lot of it for me at least reads very slow. It's not uncommon for me to read a book like this in 2-3 months. The Horus Heresy books for example. An average Horus book can take me 2 months to read. I finished soe within a week. The previous book "Talons of Eagles" took me over 3 months but that was because I stopped reading it. I'm going to continue on reading the books I have in this series. The writing is so good.
This morning I missed a call that came in from one of my resume's that I had sent out the other day. I missed the call and called an hour later to get switchboard. She took my name and number down, and said I can either wait for them to call me back or I can call back after 1pm. I'll wait until 1:30pm as a courtesy to them, and so I have something to report back to Anne when she gets up ready for work. The important thing is these places are calling me back. I usually get good luck from Kijiji and other online search engines. I remember in the pre internet days to look for a job,I'd need to go to the job bank see whats posted and make phone calls. Now I can do this right from home, upload a resume and its in the employer's hands in seconds. Next to my wife, the Internet is my best friend.
How apropos is that old "Clash" song now: "Should I stay or should I go." I'm referring to the UK vote to keep the UK in the European Union. Its a referendum coming to a head tomorrow. Some key issues of the Brexit (Brittan exit) is Britain's self determination from the EU, terrorist suspects remain in the UK, immigration among others. Big business wants to remain in the EU because its easier to move money and people around. In theory anyone in the EU can work and travel anywhere within the 28 nation club. If the Brexit forces win it would mean, the first time since the Second World War the UK would remain in control of its own destiny. Its a major referendum. More about this here.
The place I applied for called me back an hour ago and I have a interview at 1pm tomorrow. Cool. Other then that I'm off tonight and a night by myself. Last night Anne bought us each a beer. I like any beer that's at least 5.5% alcohol content. Mostly I like craft beers when I can get them at least 5.5%, like Alley cat, or Sleaman's or Molson Dry. Molson dry being my favorite but they don't have individual cans at the liquor store across the street.
The other good news is c2e is coming back. I haven't checked my email yet so I can't confirm that its up and running today. On the "Go fund me" page, it raised $8,000, which was the target goal. The last update said that c2e should be back in 48 hours. C2e is a very popular website and I'm happy its returning. Again, I'm known as Envaneo. I'm not very popular there at c2e but I like the forum and some of the posters. Anyway that's all for now.
