Musings of the day
It's always good to be busy working on something. Sometimes you may not necessarily *like* what you're doing, but who usually does if it's related to work, right? In any case, I'm usually happy if I'm busy doing something productive.

The skies are slowly starting to clear. This is a good sign. I hope that it will be relatively clear next week for viewing the Leonids! I've been wanting to catch sight of a meteor shower!

Must remember: French fries are bad for you. Salad is good for you!

We are barely mid-November and already they are putting up the Christmas lights for the building here at work. It's TOO EARLY!!! But, alas, what can be done about that?

Right on red in Montreal? The jury is still out on this one.

Re-instituting toll-booths in Montreal? Why not? It would help off-set the cost of the yearly roadwork, which in turn should decrease the budget allocated for roadwork, which in turn should lower our income taxes.... Hmmm.... Maybe this will even force people to make use of the efficient public transit system that is so readily available here? Now, I've been to other places and tolls are not necessarily an evil thing. In Boston, they are using the money collected from the tolls to fund the Big Dig project. In New Hampshire, there is a toll on Interstate 93. I assume that this toll is used towards the maintenance of the roads. Also, there is a toll on the Mass. Turnpike. I think that as long as we know where exactly that money is going, it can't be that bad (unless they say that the money is going straight into the politician's pocket...).

Funny how "Little Bunny Foo Foo" became "Little Bunny Frou Frou". ;-)
