Being homeless not so bad?

Yesterday evening we went for a walk in downtown Calgary. There were some homeless people try to sell used parking tickets after asking people for there tickets when leaving the parking lot. A good way for them to make some honest money and i was happy to give them my ticket when i left the parking.

But the most interesting thing i saw was on a bench close to eau clair market. Two homeless people where watching TV. The found a electric socket that was working (i guess normally used for xmas lighting or something) and they hooked up there TV (they had two) and where enjoying it.

Sometimes you wonder about those homeless people they don't have it that bad sometimes. Ok i would not want to trade with them (specially in winter) but seeing them watching TV made me think.

Woman forgoten in MRI Scanner

Imagine this:

Last week in Belgium a woman was forgotten and left in the MRI Scanner. She was waiting patiently but then the light of the MRI and after that the light of the room went off.

After 1 hour a nurse wondered what the Husband of the woman was still doing in the waiting room.

Hmmm makes you wonder what would have happened if he was not there. So be carefull when you need an MRI scan in Belgium.

Electricity

The things we take for granted. Electricity is one of them. I lived most of my live in Holland and in those 30 some years i guess the power went of once in a while but i still think i can count the times that that happened on 1 hand.

Now i live in Canada and in the 1 year i am here the power went of more often then it happened in the 30 some years before. Hmmm you would expect that Canada has a sophisticated electrical system but why do we have to loose power so often?

Maybe it is so that they can sell more emergency power things :)

punishment

I got punished for what i did :(

So you know those little yellow with black flying insects called Wasp?

I don't mind them so much they are kinda cool but this time they went a bit to far.
The wasp desicded that they like to use the deck behing our home to so they where building a nest there right on the deck kinda under the BBQ. I wonder what they where thinking but well so there was a nest the size of a tennis ball and it was growing day by day.

So yesterday i got myself a insect repelent specially for this cause at our local Walmart. So i got ready and sprayed the nest and things look good they seem not to have survived it. But then after all this my punishment started.

I went back inside to watch a little bit of tv and a muscito that got in the house descided to bite me 6 times. A well i guess that is the way they punish you when you descide to kill the other insects.

Animal Holiday

You know summer started and here you notice it all the animals seem to be on the way to there holiday destination.

On the news last night they showed some baby moose in some once back yard and about 3 black bears walking through a city park.

Maybe we should be a bit more carefully these hot days and drive a little bit more carefully you don't want to drive over one of those animals that still has lots of holiday plans!

Why?

Today once again I was surprised with the Natural gas bill.

Last month I used for 10 dollars and 22 cents gas not bad you would say but still my bill is for 37 dollars and 2 cents.

WHY do i have to pay so much in fees ????? I can see that the gas company has some overhead but this seems insane i pay 26 dollars and 8 cents in fees that is more then 1.5 times the money i need to pay for my gas.

I think it is strange what do you think?

haha funny

Yesterday i went to Amateur night at a comedy club. And there where some good comedians there but lets move on to the bad once.

There where some of them of witch i thought YOU know YOU are not funny so why are you standing here?

There was one that even brought his notes so that he could see what the joke was.

So if you ever want to do Amateur night at a Comedy club then ask some "real" friends if you are funny that way we both have a great night.
