Tidbits
Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…
A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles. I wanna play!
Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places. 2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.
A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…
An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies. I smell a lawsuit.

January 23, 2008 | Travels, Waterloo |
So I’ll be off on my first trip of the year next week to Seattle/Vancouver/Whistler. Going to attend a conference in Vancouver, so will try and maximize my time out west. Should be fun, trying to balance lectures and work at the same time. This will be my first…
