First Ave in Vancouver cannot re-open fast enough. It's been closed a month or so now for natural gas pipe replacement, and so traffic on Hastings and Powell has become more of a nightmare then it usually is, yesterday it took us 24 minutes to travel a whopping 3km to get to the highway.

Neither Hastings or Powell can handle their usual typical traffic, now with increased traffic from First being closed, both have become nightmare of traffic.


Because the US understands the challenges 1st time buyers face to own a house and has various programs in place to make it easier for first time buyers, my sister was able to buy a house in Arizona, her income is about on par with ours.

You should see what some people can do... I prefer a more natural wild type tank vs a manicured tank, but google ada nature aquarium and some of the designs people can create with plants, but those tanks require a lot of maintenance, time and money.

Nature isn't perfectly planned though, and not all rivers and streams have tons of plant life, so I go with a more natural random look.

Yes that is my tank. MIL had a fairly large price of wood in her yard, so she let me have it, and I collected some smaller twigs from around the yard, and presto.

Stupid computer broke, well it works, but somehow the thinger inside the hole where the plug goes into broke off and now it can't charge the battery, not sure how it broke, was working fine a few hours ago.

Packing up for my forthcoming move I've come across multiple 'spares'. What brand are you looking for?

Sony is not an option, that's still in use.
