SPAM

I got about 130 spams delivered to my in box the other day,  which is crazy... usually one or two make it through the filter per week... then I get my quarantine report today... 9527 messages quarantined this week... I had a Zoolander moment... that seems a little more than usual.

 

Today's Froster Report (TM)

As of 7:45pm at Homer Watson and Bleams Rd, the Froster conditions are:

Excellent. 

 

Strong showing from Barqs Cream Soda with a wonderfully thick Coke on top.  Good job.

 

Maybe it's the eyes?

Silas has been back for a few days now... he likes his baby sister, likes to kiss her repeatedly and likes to shake whatever structure she happens to be in...

You can tell from this picture that he's thinking of doing something bad...

It's a girl!

Delivery was fast and without complication. We all had some good moments of sleep in the night. Will send pictures when we get home.

Not that anything is imminent, but unless there are any better suggestions, we will go with our gut instincts and name the new baby

Goal Post

I've read a lot of articles on the internet etc regarding my beloved Leafs and their rebuilding phase. Most of them were calling for them to tear it all down and start from scratch, then the next week, slam them for not signing enough free agents for the upcoming season.
3 things.

(1) Regarding Mats sundin...
I would love to see Mats back in the blue and white. However, I think it's best for him to go elsewhere or retire. Best for the team. They need to tank it in a bad way, and it will be a lot more natural for them to do that with #80 centering the top line rather than Mr Sundin. I really appreciate Mats' contributions to the team and admire his loyalty. I just think at this point, we should start seeing other people.

(2) Regarding Mr McCabe...
I don't feel Bryan was given a fair shake in all this... ever since he scored in his own net in Buffalo last fall, he has been thrown under the bus. I think he's still got a lot left in him, but seems it's too late for him here. At any rate, someone will get him cheap due to the smear campaign thrown at him a la Ray Emery. You should always get rid of a player when they are riding high, not after you convince everyone else that he's not good enough for a rebuilding team. Good luck in wherever Bryan... People can go back to heckeling Antropov.

(3) Regarding additions...
As easy as it would be to wag the accusing Finger at Trader Cliff for overpaying for a FA defenceman, I think Jeff will do just fine here. Apparently he doesn't mind hitting people, which is cool. Niklas Hagman seems like a good pickup, while Jamal Mayers, and the few other weird pickups appear to me to be nothing more than hoarding players to trade later. At least the bulk of the players brought in aren't on the back nine of their careers. Cujo is just a wonderul reminder of days gone by.

Anyways, should be interesting. I am hopeful that they are going to play just well enough to land on the bottom of the pile next spring and get the John Tavares pick. At least they haven't brought in the likes of Phil Housley and Dougie Gilmour to gun for the post season.

Today's Slurpee Conditions (tm)

As of this afternoon at King St S in Kitchener:

 

Very runny.  Again a no show from the cola based slurpees.  Cream soda was quite runny and barely survived the trip home. 

Yesterday's Slurpee Conditions (TM)

As of 1900 hours on August 11, 2008, the conditions at the King St near
victoria 7-eleven are:

Disappointing... decent showing from mountain dew blue and cream soda
(although both runny), but a no show for coke and no effort from the
Pepsi. The shocking lack of cola based slurpees at beckon call shakes
my belief in the slurpee world. Maybe I've given them too much
responsibility.

This is a test

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. Do not be alarmed, this is only a test.
Thankyou.

Today's Slurpee Conditions

As of 1600 hours at St Clair and Grand in Chatham, Ontario, the slurpee conditions are:

Thick and tasty. Mountain Dew Blue and Pepsi are quite thick considering the hot exterior conditions. Dr Pepper was looking quite under the weather.

You can go elsewhere for your conditions, but I wouldn't if I were you...
