So, uh, judging by the, uh, bathing beauty you posted, Par, I'm guessing one of three things has happened within the last three days:

a) You survived your $2000 test with your sense of humour still intact

2) Zantac has taken over your life (ack, please no!)

iii) You have escaped to the beach and are attempting a new life that somehow involves cross-dressing men in surprisingly nice-looking pink one-piece bathing suits.


Here's hoping it was the first one. ... by the way, who charges $2000 for a test? Were you applying to join the ol' boy's club? ;)

hee hee

Par: Good Luck! I'm sure you'll do fine.

Beck: Sorry for not showing up yesterday had to do house stuff. I'll try to see Edison at a later date.

Damnit. Khadr pleads guilty. What a farce. There had better be a plea deal.

Good luck on that exam Par!

Alison, we're out visiting Par (and diving of course) from Nov 6 - 17th.

More like Happy Day Before My $2000 Exam That I Hope I Don't Fail. (Brought to you by Zantac!)

Matt, talk like that is anti-capitalist. What do you have against businesses, anyway, you dirty commie.

Have fun on Edison Day. (Also, creepy: Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931).)

Matt, you're going to the coast? Cool! Have fun!

I'm sorry, but I'll have to take a rain-check on baby-meeting. When will you all be back? I'm possibly up the first weekend of November, and/or the last weekend of November. Perhaps some time can be arranged for me to come out and say hi.

I hope you guys have a great time partying up Edison's arrival, and further on your coastal adventures.

It's Oct 23 6:02
Happy mole day Par

mol=6.02 x 10^23.

I know Google and all those other big corporations aren't doing anything illegal with the tax shunting thing. But it's still very annoying that the poorest individuals in this country are stuck paying 15.5% tax, small businesses without the means to set up overseas dummy offices are paying ~30%, while companies pulling in many billions every quarter can lower their tax burden to less than 5%. If those corporations actually paid an equal share imagine how much better our public services could be, or how much we could actually lower the tax rate for everyone.

On an unrelated note:

OPEN INVITATION
Meet the baby, eat some food, hang out for a while
My place, tomorrow afternoon, whenever is good for you.

Sorry for the short notice, but there's way too much going on between now and when we leave for the coast.
