I. Can't. Breath!

I will never bitch about how crowded skytrain is again (until I do)

Vancouver? or Los Angeles?

Looks like OJ got a bigger truck:



Details here from News 1130.

Seems the "driver" is from New West. Makes me so proud.

At one point early in the chase the newscasters are asking if this is a stolen truck. Ummm, ya think? Maybe just a really, really bad choice in getaway vehicle.

I watched the whole thing on the news this morning, but I only noticed something now while watching the clip. The Anchor Steve Darling @ one point seems to call the helicopter reporter Kim instead of Kaitlyn. I presume that is because for many years the "eye in the sky" was Kim Shields, but she left a few years ago.

Kaitlyn, do us a favour and kick Steve's ass @ the next Global BC get together.

Gurgle, Gurgle, Whoosh!

9:15 P.M. update: F.I.X.E.D!

Turns out the whatzit was a titch too short, so the hubster used a nurble to extend the flangoid. In any case: das Wasser ist hier.

~~~~~ Original Post ~~~~~

Well I was going to post something proper tonight. But the main water line broke (maybe), and now I'm only thinking about the potential lack of water for a few days.

Wonder how gross the showers are at work?

In any case the hubster was in the shower when the water pressure died. He went outside and noticed water flowing freely from under the car where the main water shut-off is.


(For dramatization purposes only - not actual break. Like we could afford a back-hoe)

He's now outside draining the water shut-off hole thingy to check out the damage. If we are lucky it's only a connector - Please, please, please, please, please!

A Century In Video - 1920 (A Departure)

I couldn't find anything I liked for 1920. But I did find this:
(sound not really needed, music in background is The Entertainer most famously from The Sting.)



Maybe I'm twelve, but I really loved this piece.

It's a high school project, but amazing good for such. Although I suppose high school kids are a hell of a lot more technically savvy than I was back in the 1880's1980's.

Genießen!

My New Desk?

Because of department mergers and staff changes there will be reconfiguration of our staff workroom.

Most of the desks will stay where they are, but a bunch are being rearranged into pods.

My suggestion is to scrap that plan and just give everyone a new desk.

Can I have this one please?



The top photo shows my current desk taken a couple years back. It's even messier now.
