Deep Thought

In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Can'tJet

1 cancelled flight
CanJet + 1 727 with no air conditioning + 1 hour wait in said 727 + 3 attempted landings @ YHZ + 1 landing @ YQM + 1 lost piece of luggage + 1 Bitch (CanJet rep Eve Bridges)= 1 flight with Air Canada or Maybe WestJet

Yeah this has had me pretty pissed off. I can't see a flight with CanJet any time soon.

Update:
By the way, I'm working on a fantastic complaint letter and hope to get my money back!

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Tonight (well tomorrow morning) I leave for Cobourg/T.O. with B and H. It should be a good trip... Lots to see and do. I feel this one will be a bit rushed with all we have planned, but nothing ever goes as planned so...

I hope H is as good as he was our last flight. That was three months ago, he's a whole different little person now. He may not like it.

We're on the first flight out in the morning so we have to leave the house at 4:30am. I will be so tired for the drive. I'm tired right now, I hope I can sleep on the plane.

Worlds Largest...

I have always wanted to do a world tour in search of... Well really big stuff. Actually the quest has begun. So far I have seen the Biggest Toonie, Apple, Lobster, Adirondack Chair and other big stuff. Recently I found a resource for just that here (I know I'm lame).

Make Poverty History

As I'm sure most of the people reading this are aware today the Live 8 Concert Set to Rock the World and Pressure World Leaders (if you are not aware it's time to become aware). This concert is part of a greater effort to end poverty, particularly in Africa.

Make Poverty History is part of an international movement with campaigns in over 70 countries. Make Poverty History, internationally, is calling for more and better aid, trade justice and 100 percent debt cancellation. In Canada, where one in six children is poor, we are also calling for an end to child poverty in Canada.

I have joined the more than 58,000 others who have signed on to make poverty history by sending an e-mail to Prime Minister Paul Martin regarding issues that need to be dealt with at the G8 leaders meeting, July 6th to 8th.

Canada's campaign to end poverty, Make Poverty History, calls for urgent and meaningful policy change. Here's what we want in 14 words: More and Better Aid. Trade Justice. Cancel the Debt. End Child Poverty in Canada.(more)

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Canada Day was a bummer here in Halifax due to poor weather conditions. We went down to The Commons anyway though hoping for the rain to clear up (it didn't until we finally gave up and went home). Downtown we had coffee on the patio at Timothy's and watched people walking by in the rain, most of them making the best of the day!
