Need garlic or onions? You don't have to go far. I took this picture out our window the other day. Just a few feet outside of our door a truck like this one pulls up at least once a day. On weekends, like this Saturday, maybe ten times a day we'll hear the loudspeakers announcing the wares for sale. Most days the trucks have fruit or vegetables. We've also seen them carrying TV's and other electronics. On city streets trucks will pull up anywhere and unload whatever they have to sell onto the sidewalk.

Can't sleep again. I think this is the fourth day out of five that i'll see the sunrise before i sleep. Just can't get the mind to stop, so might as well write.

We've been really busy this past week. It's almost the end of the semester, so everyone's busy preparing tests, writing syllabi, and getting ready for the new semester. On top of that we're going through a curriculum change, and so far the transition hasn't been totally smooth.

We didn't go out at all this weekend because it's always so hot and humid. The combination doesn't gel well with C's asthma. Our big trip was to the supermarket. We spent yesterday morning listening to our Saskatchewan Roughriders beat up on their rivals the Winnipeg Blue Bombers over the internet. It was nice to hear something from home. It's too bad we won't be able to see any games this year because they actually have a decent shot at winning the Grey Cup. In the 93 years the Grey Cup has been in existence the Riders have only won it twice. It's a freaking miracle one time was in my lifetime. The team has been so consistently inept over my lifetime they haven't even had a home playoff game since 1988. I was 11 at the time. Pretty sad in a league of nine teams. Hopefully this year they can turn it around.
