Ordinary Day

Well it has been pretty slow in my usual chaotic life. I am fairly excited for the Penguin Race on Saturday as it'll spice things up a bit and keep my mind on track.
What I am truly excited for is Jessica's baking on Saturday! She is the best ever! If she ever retires from kayaking she could easily pull of culinary arts and be unreal at it!

Newest thing in my life at the moment is that Dillon is moving back home to work at the mine for the summer. No need to worry world, Ethan will be the new responsible adult "taking care of me". I am excited for Dillon as this will be the his very first serious job, but sad at the same time because he is going back to the might Crowsnest City!

Another topic I'd like to quickly take note on is that today while I was perusing through CBC.ca and a story caught my eye. The headline was called; French burka ban riles Muslims. So I took a look into and thought it was quite the article but what was absolutely astonishing was not what was said in the article, rather the comments and mini discussions that were taking place. I am not going to state my position on the topic as I am indecisive about it and for other personal reasons. But after reading the comments it made me think how easy it is for people to say anything they want behind a screen name on a news website but if they were confronted in person about this issue, I am almost 90 percent sure that none of them would say the things they mentioned. It bothers me that CBC does not have some kind of filter or moderator to keep their eyes open for situations like this.
I hope it all gets cleared up soon though.

Onto a more positive note, the weather in Calgary has been beautiful and the good ol' farmer tan is coming back from the short sleeve top I have been wearing kayaking. Hope its as beautful everywhere else!
