Rita hovers over Montreal

It's pouring rain outside this morning. Rita has finally made it up to Canada and is approaching Montreal. This means nothing more than a lot of rain for us thankfully.... and that's exactly what it's doing outside. The drive in to work was slower than usual.

Nothing too special happenened this weekend. The leaves are starting to change colours finally. I have a nice sugar Maple tree in my backyard and I can see some reds and oranges starting. Besides that I helped Sheila set up her new PC. It's a beauty and a huge improvement over her old Pentium 2 133MgHz with the 13" screen. That was starting to look like a deliberate antique. Gee I wonder if in 50 years people will display old computers from the 20th century like antiques in their home... if any are left?

I bought two new books on Sunday. One is called "Cross Bones" by Kathy Reichs. She's an American living in Montreal and centered her CSI type thriller around Montreal which is kinda cool. It's very rare Montreal ever is the real centre of any book or movie. Film companies often use the city to portray US or European cities but rarely do they actually make in the centre of the story. I'm looking forward to this if only for the novelty of it. The second book is "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom which I've already started. It's about an 80 year old guy who dies and goes to Heaven and meets five people who explain the reason for his life to him. So far it's quite interesting. There has been a lot of good commentary on the book so it should be a nice read especially after finishing the fascinating but dark book on Africa.

Anyways... gotta get to work.. stay dry if you live somewhere near me.

Update: Here we go again... people seem to be taking an interest in this shot I uploaded to myaviation.net... again another cabin entrance shot and again peculiar interest in it... weird..
