2nd post Saturdays

I left out of here somewhat exhausted working on just a few hours sleep. I was able to read a bit from “Pandora’s star” on the way in. I took about $28 bucks in with me thinking I’d like to go to WEM for that piano book. I took a photo outside here looking out towards the Manning over pass. I didn’t get anything at Tim’ and as I got off the escalator it began to rain. Actually nice and heavy. I took another shot inside the parking lot since I’ve never taken a photo in the rain before. The camera held up good. I got inside as it began to Thunder out there. At my usual dialer and I had my coffee. I had a great morning even though I couldn’t get anything over $50 sale wise. I also got a couple of credit cards. I had $750 by break. Since my phone was off line.

I had a great rest of the shift pulling in $1,010 and 4 credit card sales. That’s 22 now for the week for $44 next week in bonuses. Plus I got an $8 bonus and the $32. That’ll be $84 in bonuses plus a full pay cheque. Good stuff. Also, Greg owes me $5 and so does Tasa, plus my COH right now is: $42.65. Add the extra $10, which most likely is the amount I’ll spend for this week. My wife says I can have anything over $200 and after taxes I think I’ll have roughly about $265, possible> $110. Not quite enough to really do anything with. I’m considering trying out Ebay for books. I’d love to get the Bard’s Tale series and get a pre paid credit card. The only thing about Ebay when your ordering books out of series is I might have to go to several sellers and the books might be in various stages of condition. That’s ok I suppose. Lucianne swears by Ebay because of course he has an Ebay store (without books)

Anyway, I opt out of going to WEM maybe next weekend. Who knows, I might even go out there tomorrow. Hard to say. I’m just wondering what’s

faster out there LRT to the Southside or the LRT to Corona and the #1 bus? If I leave out of here at about 10am I could be back by 3pm for brunch. We’ll see. The bus ride out there is pretty fast. I could get out there in an hour and look around in the store and an hour back. GL couldn't take the photo.

After I left and caught my train I wanted to take some shots from Stadium. There’s one in here of the lilac trees but the lilacs look pretty dried out. I also took some photos of the city skyline from the North East looking South and of the Commonwealth Stadium. It’s not a very good shot.

I took this shot of the City skyline. Immediately right of the CN Tower there will be the new black Epcore building in a few years. My train came in shortly taking me home to Clairview station. I had a bit of a wait for my #183 reading more from Ps.

When I got home Anne had left doing her shopping like she said she wanted to. What would make this month complete is if we got good news that her mammogram test came out negative. As for me tonight, I’m relaxing and most likely working on my writing maybe some piano practicing.

I need a better camera. This camera is crap. It's only 4 mega pixles, Future shop has some great cameras at $130, 10 mega pixles, large screen and in some cases up to 5 zoom. The CN buildong and the rest of the pictures probably come betterinto play with your picture viewer. I wanted a shot of the lilac trees but my CMS it seems only allows me to hold 3 photos at a time. 

Some news today/this week. Friday Oil closed out at $138 and change. A $10 increase. Yikes. I'm still predicting $200/barrel by the end of the year. Also today, Big Brown lost the race coming in 9th position. I think the jocky was holding back.  

Anyway Bloggers, that’s all for now
