> I had to laugh. I read over Howard's complaint regarding Where is everyone?, why was Rinkworks down, TV is the pits, the motorscooter sites aren't hopping, he wasn't hungry anymore, and the Weather Channel seemed his best bet. Howard, don't worry, it's not just *you*. I was reading the newspapers this morning: I get both a local newspaper (The Montreal Gazette) and a national paper (The National Post). I was surprised that the Gazoo had a front-page article about unseasonably warm *weather* yesterday, and the National, of all things, had a front-page article on the *X-File's* first kiss between ole' S&M. Heh. From this I conclude that basically NOTHING happened in Canada yesterday... or at least, nothing noteworthy to news hounds. Well, they say no news is also good news; it gives you a chance to finally catch your breath between disasters! :-)

Nothing happened here either. It was wonderful. There was no America's Cup racing and nothing at all was happening at either of my jobs so I didn't have to go to work. The weather was perfect. I bought and cut up some brass rods for something I'm doing on my boat. Then I went to the museum for the first time in years and after that I sat on a hill looking over the harbour to have lunch. Everyone else was at work, so everywhere I went it was totally deserted and quiet. (If you don't realise what a good thing that is, I'm sorry, we wouldn't get along very well.) In the afternoon I competed with my cat for the best sunny patches in the grass in the backyard to fall asleep on.
In the evening I watched a really good video that I hadn't seen for a while. The whole day I didn't get one single phone call from work telling me to come and sort out somebody's problems. And at night there was the best full moon over the water I've ever seen.
