creativity, marketing, politics, food, science, books, rationality.
There are a few things that I've grown to love over the years, from my trips to The South. My top-5 list would include:
The Canuck version of Ice-Tea is flavoured-sugar dissolved in water... sickly sweet and not without some unique charm... but!!! It isn't what I have come to love. And so, I have started to brew ice-tea by the gallon, to take to work so I don't have to drink water all day long.
For the past two days in a row, someone has started to misappropriate my ice-tea from the clearly-labeled pitcher in the fridge.
It is time and past-time to declare war on the miscreant(s). I'm thinking about setting up a security camera to catch them red-handed, damnit.

Goodyear closing plant in Canada
The Associated Press
Tuesday, June 26, 2007
A Canadian mayor says Goodyear is closing a plant which will leave 165 people without jobs, a claim Goodyear says is speculative.
Collingwood, Ontario Mayor Chris Carrier confirmed the closure at a council meeting Monday night, but he did not announce a timetable.
He said 138 hourly employees and 27 salaried staff will be affected.
Goodyear spokesman Skip Scherer said no decision has been reached and that the mayor got his information from the plant manager.
"Any comments about the closing of the plant are speculative," said Scherer, who noted the sale of the plant is not complete.
The hose manufacturing plant was bought by the U.S-based Carlyle Group in March at the end of a bitter three-month strike.
Carrier's announcement follows recent word that Collingwood's Alcoa plant, which employs 330 people, is also scheduled to close soon.
... ugh.
Ciao beautiful peeps; go out and bash a vendor, we probably did something to deserve it. ;-)
