I have, at last count, 4 posts in various stages of completion. I think this might be the start of my personal blogging death spiral.
You know, this water situation is really starting to suck. The water that I boiled last Thursday had so much silt in it that it left mud in the sink when I poured it out. Actual mud. I was drinking that water all day at work the day before…
Since then, I’ve given up boiling water and started buying it. Me. The guy who looks down on people who buy water. Anyway, despite the pain of finding water, carrying it home and spending all that cash, I guess it’s all a bit of an eye opener. I used to keep water just for situations such as this. Then I moved… In any event, I’m sure this all comes off as pretty lame to people in other parts of the world. “You poor, fat westerner; better go buy a new TV to make yourself feel better”
It’s been snowing all weekend and I guess I should comment on it. Not like it doesn’t snow here every year but for some reason everyone acts like this is ‘crazy’… Granted, it’s unusual that it happened this early of course but come on. Not much to report downtown as far as I can tell but the ‘burbs are getting hammered. Serves them right…
Naturally, a snowfall warning means nothing to all the people who get in their SUV’s and head out for a day of shopping. Heaven forbid you forgo a day of shopping… Hence there are tons of accidents involving people who have little to no idea of how to drive on a sunny July afternoon, let alone now.
Hmmm… what’s it been, 2 years since I owned a car? Best thing I ever did. Odd that water is more than gas though…
hey… i could use a new TV…
is it me, our do you sound a bit jaded today? i mean, more than usual?
i know what will cheer you up… a ‘white devil’ t-shirt. give me a call sometime you anti-social S.O.B.
Please keep blogging- your “only” reader would miss you. Ah, well, no problem, you can read mine! Life is just so exciting “out here” that my blog will fascinate you. For example, I shovelled 3 drives today- ours twice and our neighbors once. Cars are skidding all over Bond – perhaps no good snow tires? They seem to blow out right about where the truck and camper sit- I expect to see a pile of rubble tomorrow morn.In other exciting news, Buddy and the painter’s paint “collided” on his back and now we have a skunk – just in time for Christmas. Can you take any more excitement or shall I just post this now? Oh, PS, lots of feedback from yours and MiHwa’s announcement- Several calls from patients and emails/phone calls from friends and some family. Will save them for you folks.
you’ll be happy to know you won’t need to boil that water anymore. w00t
haven’t seen or chatted with you in ages. wassup. have you met my son yet? we really need to get together for a drink or something!
so, our little buddy, you have experienced snow, once again, from a couple who used to live in the Vancouver area, we are in need of a cup of hot chocolate…. maybe even more, and thank your lucky stars you don’t have a car… mister just cleared over a foot of snow off my car and god bless him he turned it around for me so that I could go to work tomorrow…bless him, bless him big time…. Neal and Jan & Harv and the rest of the clan sure enjoyed having Wayne on Saturday… they and we all enjoyed our time with him so very much…. take care and btw… how is MiHwa doing… have you picked our your china yet??? Has the date been set, what’s happening…L&S Ardie & Neal
How very cool- I really like the new colors. Good job!
