Yeah... That Sounds About Right

Since the strike at the CBC started, news from home only comes in small drops. There's never much news in Regina in the first place, but it's rarely mentioned in national news. I found this story while scanning FARK quite amusing. I had forgotten how people at home can even match Korea in the crazy department sometimes.

The hurricane that hit New Orleans has dominated the media lately and a few things have struck me. I read a quote recently from a spokesman for the city of Biloxi, Mississippi in which he said, "It was like our tsunami." What? Did i read that correctly? I just don't get how you compare the two. It just doesn't compute. The sudden loss of hundreds of thousands of lives compared to a few thousand who either weren't able to, or just refused to get out of the way of something they knew was coming. I've also read about how the true human spirit comes out of some people in a disaster. Maybe i am a little cynical. Just my point of view.

In personal news, the dog is gone. We decided to let the pound take it. Not sure if we could really bring it back to Canada and wouldn't have anywhere to leave it here when we go back. Traveling while we're here would be a bitch as well. We're hoping it has a family that will look for him. He was well behaved and was trained to go to the bathroom. I'm really surprised C didn't break out in tears when the guy came to get him. She did come close a few times, but managed to keep the flood gates closed. We might try to go to the pound in a few weeks to see if he's gone, if we can get a favour.

-insomniac out.
