Yesterday was our

1st year anniversary living here. Our weather was a lot better but not by much. I wish we had better internet, but otherwize everything else is good

On March 12, 1894, the first bottles of Coca-Cola were sold. 

             

Invented by an Atlanta pharmacist, the originalformula included lime, cinnamon, and coca leaves.

This cold is taking it's tole in me. So far it's bark is worse the it's bite Anyway, that's all for now.

 

Anne ventured off

to check out cat cafe. I cautioned her about Amway and MLM approaches. They love hanging out in coffee shops in an effort to "Show the plan." 

Tonight the boys are in Dallas. This 2 steps forward and 1 step back isn't doing us any favours. 

Nothing in my mail box downstairs. We're still expecting Anne's OAS so we can file. I have yet to hear anything from an email I sent our tax guy a few days ago. If he doesn't want to help out there is a workshop that comes here. When, I don't know. It's worth checking out. Anyway that's all for now. 

We headed out of here

 ~ 4:30pm yesterday afternoon. It was a bit on the cool side of ~ +2°C but not bad. We got the bus to Strathern LRT not far away from here and took the valley line to Davis station, the elevator to main. Our #6 was right there. We got to the McDonalds at Calgary Trail ~ 4:30pm. The Sawmill is right across the street to the Superstore. There were some icy spots heading South to The Sawmill. We ordered. Anne ordered the prime rib, I got a burger. Very vibe is similar to Earls.

The fries were julian cut and a glass of pop not in the photo. The burger was ok. We had an idea what the burger ould cost. Sure enough $30 for the above. Ten years ago, I could get a Wendy's "Baconator,+ large fries for $15 including pop. Anne's prime rib was over cooked and she had to have them take it back for another. She paid $50 including the tip. We won't go back.

Anne took the above photo of me. After paying our bill.  I'm 73 years old here. Anne wanted to pop in to Superstore to get us some desert.  I waited at the bus stop in front of the liqor store. I should have thought about buying myself a case of beer to take home. Rats. I had half an hour wait for Anne to go in and grab a case. 

While waiting for Anne is when I should have got a case of beer. Opportunity lossed. We ended up at home at 8pm, sharp. Anne said she really likes this Superstore. 2 busses and she's home. It was a good outing. We had a few flare ups but we survived. Anyway, that's all for now.

Mom passed away back in

 2000 AD just days before Anne and I got married. Today would have been her birthday. Out of all 5 of us kids, I was her oldest. Rick, a few years younger then me, died in about 2005, in South America. Two years a after we got married I joined my lodge.

All of my T4's are in. We're just waiting for one of Anne's. Then we can file. No further info other then that.

Anne was out doing some shopping and tried Lingan. She brought back a take out. Easy to get to right off the LRT behind Rogers place. She wan'ts to go back in April. Reviews for Lingan are mostly good. Anyway, that's all for now. 

We had a bit of a scare

earlier with Anne's job because of the power going off. The incident went and shut her off her job and she couldn't get back in. She did a restart and that got everything up and running. 

I even uploaded $650 from my line of credit to get Anne a budget mini computer for ~ $400 from Amazon. I was relieved when she was able to get back into her job. We doged a bullet there that's for sure. 

With ~ 19 games remaining if the Oilers dont go on a winning streak, we could be last place in the Western conference for a playoff spot, or and out of the playoffs all together. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was home by

9:30pm last night. There was no education, and festive obard was free, but I wasn't hungry. 

On this day, John Kellogg first served Corn Flakes to his patients at a mental hospital in Battle Creek, Michigan (1897) Holy Snap, crackle, Pop Batman. 

Daylight savings time is about 1am tomorrow morning. Sunset is. about 7:30pm. Anyway, that's all for now.

One more shift

and the project is done. Not that it was s bad project. I had trouble with the postal codes. I'd do it again but not for awhile. I hope that's the last project until after labour day. It be great to have 6-8 months off. 

On March 4, 1918, the flu pandemic (often referred to as the Spanish flu) was first observed at Fort Riley, Kansas, when a soldier fell ill. The pandemic, which lasted nearly a year, is estimated to have killed somewhere between 30 to 50 million people worldwide.

Tonight, I'm at Lodge, Friday AASR. At least I get a ride back either way, so that's ok. The next thing i got coming up is on the 21st of this month. Anyway, that's all for now.
