Well, the laundry and the dishwasher got done. That's something.

Totally didn't make any of those phone calls, though. :-P

I went out with Reyl last night to attend the Knitting In Public (I think it was called) get-together at Oh So Good.
I worked on my dress, which is marginally closer to being done now. :-)


Paul gets home tonight. :-)


I have (here's a first) a deadline at work. It's not a huge thing - I need to check a bunch of addresses against an updated copy of my bunch of addresses and make sure all the information is right - and fix the stuff that isn't. Which is fine, and I can totally get that done by Friday. Trick is: Some of the information is missing. *That* is going to be a problem. :-P


Time for me to go.


- TTFN,
- Amazon.

Passing this on from Hillary:


Just thought I'd let you guys know in case you haven't heard. It's
not really pagan but it has to do with our enviornment and our rivers
so I thought it was important to pass around in case anyone was
interested in participating.

June 8th there will be a rally in Ottawa to protect Canadian Rivers.

Unfortunately about a week ago we were made aware that new
legislation is in the works to change the NWPA. Which deals with
Naviagation rights on the rivers. So far they are having meetings to
change the act so that Navigation rights will not apply to rivers
with obstructions or waterfalls. ie everything that we like to boat
on. Which means they can build roads, highways, bridges etc. right
in the middle of the rivers and we can't stop them once they pass the
act. Once passed we can't boat on those rivers anymore and the
enviornment around will suffer polution and damage.

This won't just affect whitewater boaters this affects any Canadian
who has enjoyed their right to put a canoe on a river and go where
the water flows.

From 7 to 9 at night there will be a vigil for Canadian rivers on
Parliament hill.

We are really hoping to get a lot of people out to this because we
need numbers to get attention.

Try to make it if you can. The organizers have put a lot of work into
this at short notice all we have to do is show up and make there work
worthwhile.

For those who like to boat (canoe/kayak/ etc.) there is a big group
who are making there way by boat to Parliment to show how many there
are and how much it affects us.


These are the links (I think) to the boaterboard discussions.
