Greetings to New Friendlisters!

Specifically to moongate and (shamefully belatedly) to wookiemonster !

Thanks for dropping in, and for sticking around!

Why I hate using snowblowers

1. It guzzles gasoline and spits out climate-deranger gas vapours.
2. I'm forever terrified of messing up the machine via mixing up the steps of the ignition sequence.
3. There's too much to keep track of while it's running. (I know: welcome to the world of technophobes trying to cope with having to be computer-users.)
4. I've grown to actually like the exercise of using old-style shovels.

Take that for however little it's worth.

Bits and Pieces

If anyone in Sarnia's reading this as of tonight? I hope things are getting better for you as I type this. I am remembering how crazy it was in Ottawa the night before the transit strike hereabouts a year or two ago, partly due to the snowfall levels...and...oy. Was not fun for us hereabouts then. Wishing you all well tonight.

(For anyone wondering why I speak to and of Sarnia tonight? Here's why.)

Seeing as I use pennies almost every time I buy something with cash, this Senate committee thing seems like an odd recommendation to me. In fact, I used pennies in three different purchases today that I can recall.

Something happened that I missed out on today: apparently Tony Clement and James Moore held a little "iPod tax" show at the Rideau Centre today.  Me? I don't know. Seeing as - being an occasional creator of entertainment/cultural content - I would like to someday be a beneficiary of such a levy, maybe it might behoove me to have to pay into the pot when I buy blank media of any sort of my own?
