I had a decent day yesterday despite thinking I had to get out

early because of the paving City crews were doing over night. I was actually at Corona station and in Tim's at about 9am ordering my breakfast Saturday morning.

This is awesome: In an i09 article recently talks about the worlds largest Star Wars collection. The Guinness book of world records recognizes Steve Sansweet's Star Wars collection. We had this guy here in Edmonton a few years back. Sansweet's Star Wars collection contains about  300,000 items at Rancho Obi-Wan in Petaluma, Calif. and was recognized in the Guinness book of records for 2014. I can't display the video thanks to Google screwing things up. So here's a link to the video:

Ok, so back to business: Work went well Saturday and despite it being a 6 hour shift and all I worked through it with just 1 break. By 4pm though I was getting a bit played out and could have a few extra hours. After work I went to Audrey's and got my book asked if I could wait until the end of the month and begin to pick up the other 3 items. The owner said sure as I said my hours have been cut but Anne and I have a bit of a plan ahead, so we'll see. Burger Baron is a few doors down from Audrey's and I wanted to get a large order of fries to take home but the place was surprisingly locked up. So I caught the train to Clareview  instead and walked home from the station through "Clareview Mall." It was very warm and I was sweating by the intersection by our place right where the paving crew had laid down that sticky primer tar. By this time all 4 lanes had been opened up. I had to walk around and fight through breaks in the traffic to avoid getting tar on my shoes.
 
Finally at home in the elevator to our 2nd floor. Check my shoes, no paving tar. I was grateful I was home and I found the Bombers/Eskimo game on TV halfway through the 1st quarter. I had my left over lunch, put the fan on and relaxed and enjoyed the game. It was a monkey off the back for the Eskimo's 7-24 victory! A much needed win but the rubber match is next Friday in Winnipeg and they want this one back. Both teams now share the 2-9 record. There were also 2 Oiler pre season games. Oilers/Flames and Flames/Oilers taking place at the same time. We lost here at the Rex but won there at the saddle dome.

Not much going on today, I'm relaxing working on a track and having brunch. We're going to order Video on Demand Star Trek "Into Darkness." For $6 its a good deal. Anyway, that's about all for now.
