There is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here.

And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.



Although I won't be surprised if they find that smoking crater and there's a tool bag in it.

The idiot tax, indeed

I have lost at Lotto 6/49 before, but I found this latest loss to be particularly devestating.

My last number in numerical order: 22.
Their first number drawn in same order: 24.
I'm not going to be dumb and sue the lotto corporation, though.

Moose Jaw is now even more jealous of us...

Swift Current's getting the 2010 World Women's Curling Championships!!!







I just hope I am over the jet lag from my two weeks in Vancouver by this time ;)

The Fixx thought it was all right...

If you watched any American football or baseball game in the past month, you definitely saw this several times during every telecast...



That ad is getting pulled after this Sunday because thousands of people told Toyota it is both annoying and insulting.

Insulting? All I see is a big zero pushing cars with a song from the Fixx in the background. Sure the zero is a fence-sitting number of colour, the vehicles being sold are Japanese, and the Fixx are only a moderate success, but neither of these should matter now.

Maybe I haven't seen them enough. Those ads haven't run in Canada. We get these instead.

U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!!

I kinda wish I was in America, that place was nuts last night.





Congratulations, neighbour, for not just on making such an historic and groundbreaking night for the entire world, but for finishing the election in one night.

Just to mention, I have most if not all of the major English news channels and networks from Canada and the US. I was flipping between them through the evening, but the most coverage I watched was from CNN, mainly because Wolf Blitzer was the only one who can pull off a friggin' hologram in the studio.

Beam me up, Anderson.



CTV's just jealous.

Time to buy some penny whistles and ribbon candy...

I got a survey in the paper mail today, asking me what sort of foods I keep in my pantry and fridge, and what foods I buy normally, and general questions about cooking.



To thank me in advance for taking part, the polling firm enclosed a shiny new dollar coin.





A whole dollar.

That's our economy for ya, just booming!
