During the last 72 hours, I think we

have had more rain volume then anything, I've ever seen here in this city. And this is more or less steady rain. Makes me homesick for the Lower mainland.

Speaking of weekend rain, yesterday at Commonwelth Stadium, the Elks (Canadian Football League) were hosting the Montreal Alouettes. The Al's have always been top in the East like the Riders here in the West. 

Al's managed to tie the game @23 forcing OT. Elks needed a field goal to tie to keep the game going or a Touchdown. The rain at Commonweath affected both teams but Elks ended up with the W 32-29. Elks haven't had a record like this since 2019. This week is the rubber match where we're going to get a beating for sure. 

I recently had to switch from LibreOffice to Apache OpenOffice because the fonts were glitching out on me. Honestly, neither quite matched Microsoft Works, which I used from 2005 to 2010 for my diary and short stories on an old Windows XP Compaq computer—I actually still have that hard drive but it'd not compatibe with my 2018 computer! Since Microsoft Word is the closest thing to Works today, it’s been on my radar for years. Since the only options now are a Microsoft 365 subscription or the Office 2024 one-time purchase, I decided to use $100 of my leftover allowance to buy the Office 2024 license. It felt like a necessary expense, and I’m really happy with the decision. Anyway, that’s all for now!.
