:: December 14, 2001 - Blustery Lunch ::

Carol went downstairs this morning and saw that the patio umbrella was gone. She came and told me thinking that someone had stolen it. I went outside for a peek and there it was in the corner of the yard. The patio chairs and table were strewn all over the place and the flower pots that had been on the table were smashed. Doh! Not dumb crooks, but the wind!

The wind had blown everything around. At this writing it continues to blow really hard. Trees are down all over the city. Stanley Park is closed (apparently). I expect the power to go out some time today. It's blowing at between 90 and 100 km per hour ( that's 60-65 mph for my American friends). I wouldn't want to be a high rise window washer today.

Hot Stuffs. Pastry with filling - like a pizza pocket. Went to 7-11 again today. We're having our staff Christmas party tonight and I didn't want to be carrying my lunch purse around. I know. It's a very unhealthy lunch. I should be dead around 2:00pm. I doubt I'll be listed on the Find A Grave page with the rich and famous.

Milk - Fat Free. Probably the only healthy thing that will touch my lips today. I don't even like milk, but looking at the rest of my lunch I had to get something that wasn't full of chemicals. Maybe this guy can help me. He is looking for a date for any of the ladies who are interested. His birthday is coming up too!

Nutri-Grain Mixed Berry cereal bar. More preservatives. I'll be pre-emblamed when if croak today. I hope I don't end up Six Feet Under.



Cheerios Snack Mix. Yum! Low fat - High Sodium. The Ancient Egyptians used to preserve their mummies by leaving the corpse in natron (salt - sodium) for 70 days to dry it out. People are still making mummies out of the deceased. Interesting, but creepy.



Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo from South Park. You can get a screensaver, buy his Christmas CD or even build your own Mr Hankey.
