Simon's Cat in 'Shelf Life'

What is it with cats and mantle pieces anyways? They take great delight in pushing and knocking off everything on them. Our snow scene this year lasted about 3 days before Zeus decided the cotton balls would make a nice bed.

EU financial crisis explained in lay terms

Which is least unsafe?

Option A - To be in a vehicle with a Latin and a Teuton fighting it out for control of the wheel?

Option B - To be at the side of the road watching a vehicle coming at you with a Latin and a Teuton fighting it out for control of the wheel?

Option C - To be driving on a road with two other vehicles, one with a Latin at the wheel and the other with a Teuton at the wheel?

Option D - To go to the Pub.

The above in response the article below:

Yet because of the crisis of the euro zone this European Germany finds itself, unwillingly, at the centre of a German Europe. No one can seriously doubt that Germany is calling the shots in the euro zone. The reason there is a fiscal compact treaty agreed by 25 European Union member states is that Berlin wanted it. Desperate, impoverished Greeks are being told “do their homework” by Germans. More extraordinary still, the German Chancellor is now telling French voters who to vote for in their own presidential election, through a series of campaign appearances with President Nicolas Sarkozy. Everyone says Europe is being led by “Merkozy” but the reality is more like “Merkelzy.”

All I Want For Christmas - HMS OCEAN

This is why we are not getting another cat till after Zeus is gone.

Heli-logging in British Columbia with Rick Mercer

Very odd, thought I had posted this sometime ago. Anyways, I have been up in the area they filmed this and have had conversations with some of the people in the film. Heli-logging is quite the way to do things. It minimizes the impacts on the environment but can be quite expensive. For it to be profitable you must have the right trees in the right place and a very efficient crew. I have been told that a 2-3 minute turnaround time is the best to make it profitable, which means from the time from pick-up to drop to pick-up should be within 3 minutes. The helicopter in this clip is a Chinook, but the company Helifor also flies a Boeing Vertol 107, which the sharp eyed amongst you will recognize as the same type as the old Labrador SAR helicopters we used to have. I think the company bought the air frames off of the RCAF.

Unintended results

Somehow I don't think this was the intent of the architect.

Simon's Cat, Sticky Tape

Dogs have owners and cats have staff

What can I say, guess he does not like getting his feet cold. Zeus does not see anything wrong with this, other than the fact that I won't carry him on my back anymore. He like to dig his claws in!

Election politics

The symbolism is strong in this one! Done for US politics, but can be applied North of the Border as well.

The first Help desk call

Always got a kick out of this. Our desk is made of young students who really try but are genearlly defeated by our citrix system which seems hellbent on keeping us from being productive.
