I love TED.

No I am not gay even if my exwife says so! I have been addicted to this site and for those who have an inquiring mind beyond what goes on in Hollywood this si a great site full of video on a wide range of topics with a stellar cast of speakers.
The past three posts deal with happiness and might be of interest to some of you. So get some coffee and take a look at Happiness! You might see why I love TED.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

So I have safely arived in Ft Mac with few mishaps except navigating Edmonton which didn't go well because of the amount of road construction enroute. Beside that and a crappy burger for lunch things went smooth on the drive and I pulled into the parking lot right on time. Still a few things are not in place the major one being my financing. It seems that I owe the Government a chunk of cash and they are going to extract it from my student loan. This fact I missed when debating the viability of this venture. I had concluded that I would have to get a P/T job but my loan was going to take care of my school expenses. I have a shortfall of exactly $2129.58! YIKES! To add to the mix we have my Daughter doing her vows on the 18th of this month, I wonder if it can be afforded. I planned on getting new tires after I was sure of my money situation and at this time it looks as though I won't be there or won't be here. If I can't pay all of my rent then I will have to pack it in

On the road in India

Oh I have been watching nothing on the news lately. Not watching cable means I tend to become news deficient meaning that I don't cruise The Huffington Post as much as I used to because even my time on the internet has been parred down. But Today I caught the evening news and saw a report on the reaction to Prime minister Harper and his entourage having armoured vehicles shipped to India to use while in that country. How were they shipped? By C17 Transport. The cost is said to be $37,000 an hour to run one of these babies. I think it's probably cheaper to ship the three vehicles by sea but would take a much longer time and the crew and maintenance etc for the C17 would still be a cost but at least the PM wouldn't be using the resources of the Canadian public coffers. It is appalling to watch opposition parties run to the scrum and try to devour a frivolous point all of them squawking like Fort Mac Ravens over a Big Mac package lying on the roadside. Sure there is

I need to use my "guy"!

No photos this time as I am computer challenged. At the start of the week my computer went down and I had someone "new" fix it for me. What a mifuckinstake that was!!!!!! I have a guy in the city who cleans my box of all the porny type of problems that I might have and he has done other work for me always and I mean he always comes through for me. About two years ago I brought him my GF's box er computer and he could have soaked me because it was shutting down and I figured it was an overheating problem, which it was, but he shorted out the mother board when he took out the cooling fan. He could have said "hey man your fan was bad and it screwed your mother board" but no he fessed up and charged me for the fan and at a cut rate to boot. I decided this time to try a "local yocal" and I have had nothing but problems since. I am sure the guy can install windows or something simple,,,,WAIT this was super simple, I couldn't get on the net and otherwise
