Boring things like weather

By the way, I forgot to mention earlier in the week some actual current events of real significance due to my ramblingsThere were major storms for a day or two this week. Mega winds and rains. A tsunami warning on Vancouver Island as a result of the Japanese earthquake. Trees falling, buildings and windows crashing. I wish I had had my camera the day I ventured to Uni in the storm. There was a huge rubbish bin with numerous umbrellas sticking out of it. So windy they were ruined. As a result of all the rain and land slides, the city has a ban on drinking water from taps for a few days. Have to boil the water. Fortunately we have high-tech filters at home so we don't have to ingest murky water. The funny thing was that Starbucks was unable to sell coffee or tea as a result of the ban because the temperatures weren't hot enough to kill the bacteria. Some irate customers indeed. And the city sold out of bottled water (apparently...and obviously after this photo was taken :)). Fights broke out in Costco requiring police intervention...over bottled water.
And on the study note, one paper down...2 to go. The end is nigh! Have a great week!

Sonya,
how long does it take you to put together your posts? I could be wrong, but it seems to me that you have put up a few this week... I hope this is not a new form of procrastination?!

Mind you I can't really talk, seeing as I running on negative time at the moment, but still managing to sit here perusing your blog as if I have not a care in the world.

Tim, So I hear your having a 'pool party' ?????

Miranda,

It doesn't take long - just whip them together. They're not like an essay requiring substantial thought and research! And I prefer to think of it as an 'incubation' period during which ideas simply grow, rather than procrastination.

Depends who's asking, Anonymous. I don't believe I've asked anyone by your name to come...
