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.
Will trade beer for Crumpler bags. Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Death of another Landmark
June 14, 2006, 3:10 am
My high school was located within walking distance of Lake Ontario (the smell of which reminds us of this fact on most warm summer days), in particular, near the part of the Mississauga where the Four Sisters were. So whenever I’m in Toronto, on Lakeshore Blvd, all I have to do is look across the lake to find the four little smokestacks, and know where things are relative to each other. Then I learned that they’ve demolished them over the weekend. I didn’t even know they *could* be demolished, or even that they would be. To me, they weren’t a symbol of pollution. They were a landmark to find my way. And now they are gone. Just as well I guess, as I don’t think I’ll ever be going back to the old high school…
So buying a house is expensive stuff. Home Depot and Canadian Tire is fast becoming destinations we visit at least once a week. I should be thankful that we don’t need to repaint walls, replace doors and windows, etc, but even the little things add up. Cleaning up the deck is hard work, and we need a week of good weather in order for everything to be applied correctly. Hopefully, this will be done some time soon. Then, after buying the patio set, can actually host a BBQ! But in the meantime, gah, feel so busy! :’(
