Out of The PIT

I have been pretty bad with updates, but we have been pretty busy of late. I should do a recap, but for now, I'd like to mention that I bought and finished Antichamber last weekend. AI suggested it to me since he knew that I liked puzzle games, and I liked Portal . Antichamber is very similar, but without a real antagonist. Some of the puzzles were challenging too, although there were a few that were quite annoying. Oh, and I accidentally deleted a third of my laptop this morning. That would put a crimp in my productivity..

So this year MJNL wanted to participate in the CN Tower climb, so I dusted off my old WWF CN Tower climb login, and lo and behold, it still works! Actually, that is kinda scary that they still have it on hand even after ten years.. In any case, I have signed up for two events this year and if you want, you can sponsor me for the Becel Heart&Stroke Ride for Heart and/or the WWF CN Tower Climb .

I found this article about house destroying boulders from a Facebook post from RH.

While I was driving up my main street to work, I noticed a Tesla in the lane next to me. I recognized the emblem and then noticed the green license plate before it drove away. It was going on the highway on the opposite direction so I did not expect to see it again. Mind you, I have been seeing more and more Teslas on the road so I'm not as taken aback when I do see one on the road. Driving back on the same artery road on my way home, lo and behold would you have thought that the same Tesla would pull up next to me? Reminds me of that motorcyclist I ran into twice in the same day.

AI sent me a link for a newish first person puzzle type game that looks worth trying out!

I was driving on the highway, on my way home from badminton, and noticed some bright blue flashes in the sky. It was well into the evening, and there were clouds in the sky, but I could clearly make out some bright blue flashes. I counted several pulses before they stopped. I thought that it could have been lightning, but it did not look quite right. I also considered that it might have been a transformer explosion, but it seemed too high in the sky for that. Well, I got a call on my phone, which I was not able to pick up just after the flashes stopped. I found out later that it was MJNL calling me to tell me that the power was out. I discovered that for myself as I drove into my neighborhood. On the block just before I got to my place, the whole neighborhood was pitch black. So it WAS a transformer explosion! How unfortunate that it had to be us. Fortunately enough, the power came back soon after I got into the apartment.

So I just got some allergy test results back and it looks like I am allergic to all dairy, eggs, soybeans and almonds. All dairy. Yes, like yogurt, goat and cow milk, cheese, everything. Oh yeah, and beef. What the whey? I mean, come on! Soy beans?!? That is like in all eastern Asian foods!
