Random missives from the great white north. Friday, April 29, 2005. After handing in my last exam a little before 4:30 today I finished school for the semester. My plan for the summer is to make like any other student and get a summer job. I really could use even a brief respite from the whole poor student shtick and I'd like to try and minimize my loans for next year. To that end, I've sent out a few dozen resumes. I may be forced to do something productive like spring cleaning or something. I've never ...

Random missives from the great white north. Tuesday, August 24, 2004. I feel that with something like the Olympics going on, I should probably at least mention them once or twice in my blog. I'm not really a big watcher of sports. I don't normally watch any of the professional sports (even hockey, which is almost obligatory for Canadians). I'll watch football now and then, but only because SouthernKitten likes it and there is often beer involved. Posted by CanadaDave @ 2:52:00 PM. Sunday, August 22, 2004.

Random missives from the great white north. Thursday, November 10, 2005. I've had quite the evening. But I'm feeling tired and lazy, so instead of typing the whole thing out, I figured I'd just post the conversation I just had with Mary. About it. (with some minor editing). CanadaDave: I've had an interesting evening. CanadaDave: I was sitting and happily vegging in front of the TV when my phone rang. CanadaDave: It was a number and area code that I didn't recognize, so I answered it. Mary ann: oh no.

Random missives from the great white north. Tuesday, January 25, 2005. Boy, do I feel safe. In the news recently. CNN) - A water leak at the Fermi II nuclear power plant outside Monroe, Michigan, forced a shutdown of the facility Monday, but no radioactivity was reported to have escaped and no evacuations have been ordered, authorities said.". I noticed this plant. I'll have to look up what kind of fallout I can expect next time. Edit: It leaked again. Posted by CanadaDave @ 11:57:00 PM. Those of you pla...

Random missives from the great white north. Thursday, July 28, 2005. I'd gotten out of the habit for a few years, swimming rarely, yet enjoying myself when did. I'm swimming a lot more lately, though. Partly because I'd like to get in better shape for my upcoming 30th birthday (see the countdown above) but also because I promised my mother that I'd accompany her on the cross lake swim she's doing in honour of her 60th birthday on August 10th. It's not a big lake. Posted by CanadaDave @ 10:11:00 PM. Just ...

http://canadadave.blogspot.com/2005/10/american-politics.html
Random missives from the great white north. Monday, October 03, 2005. I've been finding American politics to be particularly fascinating lately. Part of it may be that my course load has a couple of classes on the US this semester, but I don't think that that's all there is to it. Bush's approval rating rather predictably took a hit over his handling of Katrina and its aftermath. Now, that kind of partisan redistricting is technically known as "gerrymandering" and is one of the more unethical things one ...

Random missives from the great white north. Tuesday, September 20, 2005. Last weekend I went for a short flight with WereGirl and PilotBoy. We flew to a nearby airport, had dinner and flew back. The flight itself was pleasant and uneventful as was dinner. Generally a good time was had by all. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that they are hosting the Superbowl this year. Whatever the reason, the end result is that every single. So, I was lost. Lost somewhere in or around Detroit. ...My me...

Random missives from the great white north. Monday, June 13, 2005. Tomorrow (June 14th) is international Dave Day. And to quote another famous Dave. I am not making this up. If you haven't finished your Dave Day shopping, you best get a move on. It's probably too late to beat the inevitable Dave Day crowds, but you certainly wouldn't want the important Daves in your life (cough, me, cough) to be disappointed.

Random missives from the great white north. Thursday, September 30, 2004. Really cold in Canada. I've been feeling under the weather for the last couple of days, hence the lack of a post yesterday. Today, I'm still feeling kinda crappy, so I'm going to reach once again into the bag of classic CanadaDave adventures for today's entry. If you've read Cardboard Boats. The actual triathalon was in mid September. Hogg's bay had been used for a lot of Great Lakes shipping years ago. As such it had been ...The d...

Random missives from the great white north. Friday, July 08, 2005. Close Call for the Communicator. Yesterday's attacks in London struck fairly close to home, since London is the current home of my brother, the Communicator. (Hence the London weather link on the lower right side of the page.) Thankfully, he ended up being inconvenienced, but not hurt and also on the front page of my hometown paper. Not sure how long that link will keep working) How he ended up in London is a story in and of itself. He wa...
