The Simpsons, 19th season: Same old, same old. Business as usual.
Heroes: not bad, more to come (I hope).
Weeds: The first five episodes are “life-changing.” They should be back in business as from ep. 6 (I think).
How I met your mother: Dr Doug is why I watch this.
Boston Legal: The judge is still hot.
Californication: Glad to see David Duchovny. Acting is good. Script is so so.
More comments to come as I catch up with other shows.
It is with sadness that I learned that Business 2.0 magazine is no more. I considered Business 2.0 as good if not better than Wired magazine.
The taxiway was quite busy with up to 4 planes lining up for takeoff and other planes in the pattern wanting to land. It was my maiden flight in a small Cessna 150L in which I feel cramped (for my size). The wind was gusting up to 20 knots (37km/h) and there was only one active runway. I did not get the opportunity to take more pictures in flight since I was the pilot in command and we experienced some turbulence. I have to evaluate if I want to spend 50 hours in this plane.
Saturday, I’m supposed to clean the garage and paint the floor with epoxy. It should be nice and clean. In the morning, I’ll call some ppl so check the ppl courses and rates. Evening, there’s the LM party (20th anniversary). We’ll see how the Mauricana people have progressed since.
Two weeks ago, we crossed the border by car and went to Plattsburgh, NY. During that week-end, they were commemorating and re-enacting the Battle of Plattsburgh in which the US held off Britain’s attack from Canada in 1814. Plattsburgh was OK and has only 20k people. Quite a small town but very typical like elsewhere. You have the usual Wal-Mart, McDonald’s and other retail chains. The border crossing is not something you want to do every day. The border agent asking you what is your nationality while he’s holding your passport in his hands. On the return, they focus more on charging the tax on the products you’re bringing back. Anyway, it was nice going there but I’ll not be returning so soon. With the Cdn dollar reaching parity with US$, it is tempting to cross the border for your shopping. But the border crossing hassle does not make it worth.
