Random Ramblings: March 4, 2017

Originally posted on Life Project Blog:
Today is Inauguration Day! OK, no it isn’t, but it used to be. Isn’t that great to know? Well it might come in handy at a trivia contest… March 4 is the date when the terms of the president, vice president and members of Congress begin and end as…

The Girl On The Train

I read The Girl On The Train two summers ago when everyone on the beach was reading it. I thought I had shared my impressions of it with you, but a search of past posts doesn’t turn it up. The movie seemed like a safe choice for inflight entertainment, given that the flight was more […]

Toilet Humour

I didn’t get today’s post finished due to some unexpected speech writing and a train that ran later than expected. That’s my excuse anyway, and who can possibly challenge it? So instead of the wordy post I had planned, just a little something from the train’s washroom. The first photo is supposed to be blurred. […]

Random Thoughts For Saturday

You would think that after spending $425 million on renovations, the elevators wouldn’t break down daily. I suppose the out-of-order urinals the day the building opened (that still haven’t been fixed) were a warning sign.   Why does my phone plan give me international roaming everywhere I go in Europe, except for Germany? Guess which […]

It’s February Already!

One month down, eleven to go and 2017 will be history. Think you are gonna make it? Take a deep breath and relax. Look back at the month that just ended.‎ Was it as bad as you expected? Better? Worse? Where I live, at least the weather was warmer than usual. Which may be good […]

Is it Monday Already?

Assisted Dying III

I suggested last year it was all about the money. Depressingly, it looks like I was right. A new report has been issued on the cost of physician assisted suicide (which became legal in 2016) to the Canadian health care system. It looks like the savings will be about $139 million a year. More if […]

Welome Thursday

Personally I think that is aiming a little low. I wish you a great Thursday, a fantastic Thursday, a phenomenal Thursday. Now go out and enjoy it!

Feeling Lazy On This Wednesday

I was going to explain why I didn’t have a long wordy post today, but then thought you didn’t really want or need to know.

Climate Change Secret

It’s quite pleasant in Ottawa today, especially if you like snow. Admittedly, if you have to drive in the stuff you might be less than thrilled at the white stuff falling from the sky, causing problems for your morning commute. Overnight low was minus three (all temperatures in this post are Celsius. For Fahrenheit conversion […]
