about 7pm yesterday. All we got out here were a few branches on the grass, some medium rain and gusty winds. They got it worse off in Red Deer, where shingles were torn off roofs, trees downing power lines where 20,000 people are without power over night.
By now the news is out about the 75 Nazi artifacts uncovered in Argentina. What's cool about this is that the find was in a secret room behind a bookcase. Apparently there was a silver plated Ouija board, mugs, and a bunch of other stiff. There were also some photographs as well.
This is interesting: On August the 21st, there is a Total solar eclipse. Unfortunately for yours truly, I wont be able to see it, since its path is way to the South of me in the US. Why is this interesting? My 65th birthday is August 21st. How cool is that? This might be a good omen to play some black jack.
I was going to go down to Provincial pension to submit a form the other day but since I need to pick up my pay cheque on the way, I might aw well do both at the same time. I hope not but because the way I've been going this might be my curtain call for this company. Anyway, that's all for now.
After work the temperature was +33! Warmest it’s been in a couple of years.
After work I went over to Audrey’s I bought book #10 of the Horus Heresy and a Warhammer 40K audio CD. I also ordered Hammer & Bolter Vol. 1 & 2. I thought about going out for a bite to eat but wasn’t that hungry. I bought a bottle of diet Coke at Tim’s and on a humid LRT to Clareview and a even more humid wait on the #183
When 8pm rolled around Anne was at the door with Donna paying us a visit. She stayed for about 40 minutes and I more or less had the place to myself.
It’s very dark clouds out there as it looks like some kind of a system is coming in.
I still don’t know what‘s going on with the Phoenix Coyote‘s yet on the big vote. I‘ll know by the time I post this. Ok the city of Glendale ratafied a new lease agreement to save the Phoenix Coyote's from moving, in principle. Up next is the "Free agent frenzy" Friday.
The big system that came in took out part of a beautiful tree just out here. Mind you it's only a branch but a significant part of the tree's landscape. Branches and tree bit's are littered all over the place.
Looks like Edward Snowden is running out of countries Seems everyone is turning him down. Anyway that's about all for now.
long month to say the least and I’m glad its almost over. At the moment its +13 out there overcast with a hint of rain in the forecast.
An interesting side note about the Mars rover Curiosity mission “Black eyed peas,” singer Will.I.am had the song “Reach for the stars” beamed down to earth. The first song ever to be sent (downloaded) from another planet. The song was stored on the rover and beamed back to earth. Pretty cool.
Last night a late story reported (must have been a slow news day) but a starving cougar saw what looked a large morsel attacked a woman looking after her 2 puppies in her yard in the small community of Trail BC. There was also another cougar incident in White Rock BC (know it well) So here I go ranting again but what do these Troglodyte “wildlife officials” do? Hunt the poor animal down and kill it. Now I could see this as an option (maybe) if it were say North Vancouver, would it have been too much forward thinking to tranquilize the animal, give it something to eat and then release it between the Columbia river and the US boarder? Unbelievable. Most of these wildlife officials can barely think outside of the handbook. Is my rant unfair? Maybe but I see this kind of thing happening all to often. Why doesn’t Peta get behind an issue like this? Because they’re not to bright either. I don’t blame the woman that was attacked and she probably would have hoped for a better option then what “wildlife officials” did last Saturday. Trail BC is just 7 clicks away from the US boarder.
I’m not going to worry about my job any more, I can always get another one. Its not going to be the end of the world. I don’t see the place full every night and with all the past employees coming and going and those that seem to show up whenever they want, doesn’t bother me that much. Also, I don’t see a lot of stellar totals out there from my peers either. My place of employment seems to be like a revolving door. “lets use it as a point to something better.“ I don’t know how many people that get a “better job” only to come back to where I work for a couple of months and then leave again. There are these people that show up for a week and then you don’t see them for a month and they’re back again for another few days and off again. I’m just taking things day by day now. I go in put my 8 hours and leave but its when I‘m there and yes I get down because I get maybe 1 sale for the day. It‘s a tough job but it‘s something I can do, it‘s stability.
Last night about an hour before I got home, Anne called Earls and they had a jacket left over resembling mine. She went there about 8pm and picked it up for me just before she got home it began to rain and just before she got within a few feet from the outside door she got drenched by a bucket of rain, LOL, sorry Anne but thanks for rescuing my jacket. Anyway, that‘s about all I have for now.
Proline CFL ticket for all 4 games. This week we have tonight: Calgary(W)/Montreal. I haven’t got my ticket yet. Friday it’s Winnipeg/Edmonton(W), Saturday it’s a double header: BC(W)/Riders and Argo’s/Hamilton.(W) I’m not that sure about Hamilton though. My initial thoughts could be a W. I’m also getting my Max as well, $45M
The last 15 minutes at about 1:30am I was sitting outside watching the lightning and thunder and there’s a nice rain outside cooling things down to a pleasant +22* out there.
Nasa has apparently discovered another moon around Pluto making this Pluto’s 5th moon. For now Nasa is calling this moon P5 but their New Horizon spacecraft soon to reach Pluto in 2015 is supposed to explore the moon/Pluto and others. They haven’t got an official name for P5 yet. Should be interesting.
I’m not a baseball fan at all (game is way to slow for me) but Karl Kissner Ohio from Defiance found the rare set of cards after cleaning out his Grandmothers attic. The cards were from 1910 and in mint condition featuring some historic baseball players like Ty Cobb, Cy Young (I heard that name before) 37 cards all in all could be worth millions of dollars. What a find.
And finally, tomorrow night on Coast is Paranormal Friday. Maybe 1 should pick #13 on my Lotto max ticket tonight, 8 and 13 are my 2 favorite numbers. Anyway that‘s about all for now.
