yesterday lasted until about 7pm. When I had left out of work at 9:25pm (well exceeding "my quota") My bus was on the other side of the 4 way cross walk. Looking both ways catching a break in the traffic, I was able to make that connection to Corona but barely.
I met Anne at Bay station and we rode home together on the train to Clareview. We walked parting ways as she needed to go to Superstore and I headed home.
Ok so I almost bought into it. A story was released recently on a Internet forum that Eagleworks (Nasa) lab said they had what could appear to be an electromagnetic propulsion drive. Or em drive that uses microwaves in an enclosed space. The story made claims that a possible drive could send crew to the moon in 4 hours and interstellar space travel or warp drive was almost here. It said that they tested the drive in a hard vacuum and got some momentum out of it. Its junk science and you can read more about it here.
I'm "off today" but its busy as I'm out of here at 2pm to see my Doctor and then a bite to eat and home to change and then to Lodge. Looking forward to having a great night.What with lodge practice and the election the other day, Doctors appointment and lodge tonight, its been busy. Anyway, that's all for now.
Welcome to my Blog. Anne and I live here in Strathearn Edmonton Alberta, with our 2 cats etc. This blog is about my life, rants, politics, books, music production, Sports, some gaming, Freemasonry and some WTF-ish moments that give me pause.

What a shocker yesterday
morning, when I learned that Future Shop (FS) is closing all 65 of its national locations. FS and Best buy are the nation's leaders in consumer electronics and computers. Three here in Edmonton will be permanently closed, and some of them will be re branded into Best Buy. Best Buy bought out FS in 2001. Best Buy retains the FS store here in Clareview, Grant MacEwan, and St. Albert. The other 3 FS's to permanently close will be the West End (I used to go to that one all the time before I got married) Northgate (that's where I bought my iPod Touch last December) and Edmonton common. Its the end of an era.
I'm an "environmentalist" when it comes to animals, the forest, overfishing, things like that. What I can't get is this flaky junk science of "climate change." I couldn't help mentioning this only because yesterday was Earth hour. With the global threat of those rouge nutcases making news every night in the middle east, it boggles the mind that some weirdo's are so enamored with "climate change" they can't see the forest before the trees.
Update: Anne noticed while channel surfing this morning that the WWE network is now on our Telus "Optix" tv. Its $11.99/month but after deleting some channels (thanks to the crtc relaxing rules that favour the subscriber called pick and pay earlier this month) she doesn't watch anymore and now that I've got a job Tuesday, she ordered the WWE network. it now means today, we get to watch Wrestlemania 31. I think it starts at 4pm. If I had money I'd order my favorite pizza but we'll do that when the next pay-per-view wwe event comes out. "Money in the bank."
So Nasa wants to have astronaught's live in space for a year. It's the longest continuous stretch of time a astronaut will have been in space. It's an important stepping-stone on our journey to Mars. Its quite a mission. I don't know if I could be cooped up like that for a week little alone a year. I'm getting stir crazy just living in this apartment for the last month without a job. I'm looking forward to Tuesday. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had a nice relxing Saturday
and more of the same today. I usually like to get out of bed around noon on a the weekends.
Global warming no doubt exists but not in an Al Gore junk science kind of way. Researchers here in Canada are using backyard ice skating rinks as a research tool to learn about climate change through ice. I don't know what they hope to gain from this but I'll wait for the off season to get the results.
Today is going to be a reading day. I hope to reach up to page 100 of "Battle for the Abyss." My goal is to have it read by the end of March.
Now that I'm about to work days for a few months, I'm taking advantage of my evenings free. I'm looking for a evening job 5 days/week. Even if I could work at my current place of employment 1 Saturday/week would more then be enough for what I need. Anyway, that's all for now.
