Its a new month. My birthday month.

August 21st to be exact, lol 

I got Summerslam Saturday on at 4pm, and the CFL RIders are @ Commonwealth today at 5pm. I'll be following the Elks game and watching Summerslam, yeesh. Then there is Summerslam Sunday as well. Good times.

Edmonton Heritage Festival - coined the “world's

largest three-day multicultural celebration” enjoy

cultural dances and folk music. There are no

admission fees and the festival is happening

August 1 to 3 at the recently rehabilitated Hawrelak Park. Organizers are hoping for no rain, as the festival isn't set up for that.

I think I have a yeast infection going on. At some point I need to book an appointment with my Pharamacist and see what's going on in my specific use case. Anyway, that's all for now.

My iPad battery

lasted from 5:30-10pm but my USB A-C cable did the job. Next time, I'll bring my power bank. I was wiped out by the time I got in at 11:30pm. It was a great evening. 

I'm looking forward to the Elks/Red blacks game in Ottawa. It's a 5pm start. Our first real regular season game. Elks are 1/1 preseason. 

It was expected but we got a fire alarm encore this morning. This time to test the elevators. The noise was worse then before. It lasted for about 20 minutes. We're done until this time next year Anyway, that's all for now. 

I had a great time at lodge

last night. We must have had close to 30 breathern show up. Good energy. I got a ride home from Nathan. He's going to the elks game tomorrow night..

On September 4, 1985, the first pictures of the Titanic wreck were released, after a joint American-French expedition discovered the sunken ship. In the waters off Nova Scotia.

Speaking of Elks football. Saturday at 5pm is the rubber match. Looking forward to the game. Our front line needs to do better in protecting our QB. 4 sacks in one game is crazy. Anyway, that's all for now.

I usually go

to bed about 4am. (pardon any spelos) When I did my left leg began to throb. We had the AC and the fan on. I took a melatonin pill, but an hour later I couldn't sleep. My leg was still in agony. I might have pulled a mussel. I took a pain killer after that, still awake. I put my compression stockings back on and Anne turned the AC off. About 6:30am I felt better and passed out. I woke up at ~ noon. I think I got about 5 hours of sleep over all. I felt no pain at all, yesterday when I woke up, onward.

On today's date in 1868, French astronomer Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen spotted an unknown element in the spectrum of the sun, during a solar eclipse. The element is now known as helium

Friday night our CFL Elks are brining their 3-6 record to Regina. The Riders have an 8-1 record. and are on a 4 game winning streek to our 2 game winning streek. Odds favour the Riders t0 Win, but you never know. Anyway, that's all for now. .    

Last night was pub night

in the main lounge. Pop a $1 beer $5. Anne was passing by the greeter by the door. The greeter invited her inside but Anne declined because she had her groceries in tow. At a glance there looked like 150 people there Anne said. There's always something going on here. Even afternoon tea this Saturday but that's competing with Summerslam and the Elks game.

On this date in 1930, the radio mystery program The Shadow aired for the first time. On July 31, 1954, an official announcement was made by researchers that Los Angeles smog was caused by the chemical reaction of sunlight on auto and industrial emissions. And on this day in 1964, the first close-up photographs of the moon were sent back to Earth by Ranger 7. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday I woke up to blurred vision. Even worse then before. Anne suggested it's eye strain. I dont see it being much more then that. When I was at the Edmonton eye clinic last month, they tested for Glucoma, no diabetic damage to the eyes. They even gave me an OCT scan, and upon leaving they gave my vision a clean bill of health. Anyway, that's all for now.
