To me that is a clothes horse. My Irish mum called it a clothes horse also.
The suspended one is a laundry/clothes rack.

I am getting tired of the electricity blackouts, but this next one annoys me at its from 5pm to 5am so hard to sleep through it like the last one, and its the premiere day for Law & Order SVU but without electricity the DVR wont be powered to record it, and I have waited all summer for this night to finally have new episodes again.

Overall this is the 3rd or 4th long one since we moved into this place, plus 2 or 3 others in the last place, all in under a year, guess the power lines are old or something in this area.

They lost 430,000 subscribers in the 2nd quarter in North America as per Netflix themselves so I will take their data as accurate.

Upside Disney+ hit the 100 million mark a couple months back, 0 to 100 million in 16 months isn't too shabby, Netflix had 207 million as of their last report, add in Hulu which Disney owns 67% of and full operational control over, and Disney has 142 million subscribers between the 2.

Disney expects to hit 300-400 million across all its platforms by 2024.

Canadian's on average seem to be getting deeper into the debt hole, $1.73 in debt for every dollar they made in the 2nd quarter up from $1.59.

Debt is apparently growing at a record rate.

A few days ago I was checking the cameras at work and looking for my feral cats, and got a surprise. A raccoon came walking between the buildings and went straight through. It's the first one I've seen on cam, and the first one I've seen in central Regina. (there are loads of them in the country though, so no real surprise) There are quite a few wild animals living in the inner city, and the odd moose or deer or bear comes to town by accident.

Vancouver is loaded with racoons and not just any old racoons fat ones some so fat they barely seem capable of properly walking, but urban racoon life has more food than a racoon will ever need.


I miss this view, the plane I am inside is an Alaska 737 either an -800 or -900 most likely.

The town houses here are quite spacious, almost makes me wish we had a kid, they are 1,300 sq feet and 2 levels with 2 bedrooms on the upper level, they also have nicely fenced in back yards, I could handle that kind of rental.

Note to self, don't move to Lethbridge, AB seems they have a fairly significant lack of GP's.

Doctors retiring and relocating but no replacement doctors coming in.

Silly facebook taking all the fun away.


I think I need a doctor for these stupid cold sores, I hear there is RX stuff available for them, because $80 later in Abreva and a month and a half, they come back within a week of going away, starting to get annoying.
