I'm back at it today

but if things don't pick up I'm going to get the extra hours someplace else. I'm running out of my savings. If I can work 4-9 Tuesday-Saturday, that'd be ok until my early retirement comes in around November but I need something steady.

I get asked all the time,"Jim your in Alberta, whats your take on the Keystone pipeline? Its a accident waiting to happen. This thing is mapped right through Hurricane alley. Its a recipe for disaster. The best way to get our oil to the US is by rail. Just 1 DOT-111 tank car can carry 20,000 US gallons of oil.The  DOT-111 tank car was involved in the Lac-Mégantic derailment earlier this summer in Quebec. There were 72 of them in that disaster. Transporting oil to the US is safer then the pipeline.

I'm having some issues with Google+ and YouTube. My YouTube channel is ok but my YouTube inbox is missing. Also I can't change my profile picture because of size issues. Even after I change size of my photo. I might have to open a new Google+/Hangouts or what ever it's called. It might take me awhile, but I'll figure it out. 

Another thing I get asked all the time is what I think will happen to our society. I don't think we'll have any major wars or anything because our society will be very prosperous. At the same time Earths population will be down to the levels of the 1920's due to over population levels. Et will still be in the realm of science fiction. There will be settlements on Mars and other planets moons etc. There will also be synthetic programmable human like robots. Cloths will be holographic and resistant to the environment. At the latter half of the century physicists would have found alternate earths like in sliders but without humans. That's about all I "see" right now. Anyway, that's about all for now.

My last day off today

and my football game Bombers/Riders was almost a tied game up to the half. Then today I got the Esks/Calgary game and Monday night Raw to wrap up my evening and my 5 days off

Last night about 10pm the city paving crew decides to turn the street out here into a construction paving zone. It was bumper to bumper traffic out there as the city decides to bring in te heavy equipment. I got a bit of sleep but then about 4am it was beep-beep all night. It was giving me a headache. Finally the beeping stopped about 7am. Maybe someone complained. I slept on the couch and feel a bit better.
 
I've got my first day back to work having tomorrow after having almost a week off. Thursday I'm off because of Lodge night. Friday is a short shift and I'm working on a rare Saturday, then I'm taking 2 days off after that. Its not that busy a week but I got some stuff going on. Anyway, that's about all for now.

I had a pretty

decent night last night. After Lodge, I went up to Bay station and after about 10 minutes, here comes Anne down the escalator and we talked while waiting for the train. At Clareview we walked home but the pavement was clean from any ice. I was still in my street shoes. At home Anne wanted to order Pizza and i insist not to go out for it. She checked on a lot of places but most of them after 11pm were closed,except Pizza73. I was hungry as I didn't stick around for festive board. Piazza was good and so were the chicken bites and curly fries. I was in by 1am. 

Today although now I could easily crawl back into bed for a few hours, I'm going to be busy. First of all I have an 8 hour day ahead of me. After work, it's over to Audrey's for another Warhammer book. Then down to LM and pick up Machine. Then home for the Oiler game. Anyway, that's about all for now.

A couple of days a go at the age of 77 a Canadian icon had died: Legendary Stompin' Tom Conners. He died of natural causes. He's best known for his "hockey Song" but in his career had put together over 60 studio recordings. Not my genre but I respected the man. Anyway, that's all for now
