Grrrrr, Bark, Woof

10:25 a.m.

The other day, Ruey and I were running to school from the tram. No particular reason, I just felt like running. Anyway, we were almost there when Ollie pulls up. Instead of climbing in th car, Ruey jumped on the trunk, and I jumped up next to him. So, Ruey and I rode on (not in) the trunk of Ollie's car the remaining distance (~150 yards) into school. It was awesome.

I think this image is great. It's from Vancouver, Canada, and definitely could (and should) be used in France. Doggie-doo is ALL OVER the sidewalk. I stepped in some yesterday. Seriously. You know the saying about walking with your head up, look the world in the eye? Yeah, not in France. Surefire way to step in some doggie treasures.

Here's a funny joke I heard:
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place of great balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large landmass in the top corner and asked, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's Canada, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline. The people from Canada are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed; "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!"
God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the loud-mouth bastards I'm putting next to them...."

This is in honor of today, a day in which all Americans should be proud to belong to this great country. Why? For today, today is the Iowa Caucus and in which much mud will likely be thrown, and accusations made, and similar events that happen when honorable men come together to have a nice, little discussion. According to Mark, who loves politics, Sen. John Kerry is slightly ahead of Gov. Howard Dean. I'm trying to get interested, but am finding it rather difficult.

And one last bit, since this seems to have taken on a Canadian theme, test your knowledge of Canadianism.

Bon Journ�

5:55 p.m.

IT'S SNOWING!!! I am so excited. Brooke, Serina, and I ran out and jumped around. Then we got cold and ran back inside. But hey, it's snowing! I'm so happy.
