I'm not optimistic it will stay that way for long, the way BCE is folding Bell Aliant into the parent arm.

We do have east link to thank for competition.

Wow, that's awesome.  If the video didn't show the train at the start I'd be wondering "what the hell!?"

Cool. So they don't need to "plow" train tracks with an actual plow anymore?

That's very cool!  Ever see those trains with the giant snowblowers on them?

That was cool!  :thumbup: We dropped the wife's car for repair at Maxum Monday night just as the shoulder on the highway above was getting blown out.  They were using a giant blower attached to a payloader and it was pretty cool watching the giant plume of snow from down below and illuminated by that huge full moon we had that night!   8)

Doing summer student interviews this morning.  Half way through first interview HR asks dude when he plans on graduating.  He says in 2018, graduation has been extended due to work term with another company this summer. 

Long pause.  So you're not available to work for us this summer?

In Syracuse NY. On the way, I picked up my 2 new Koni Sport adjustable front struts at the UPS Store in Ogdensburg.   Also my 4 17x9 Ronal LZ 2-piece rims, soon to be shod with 255/40/17 track tires. Spring can't be too far away...forget the groundhog.

Today is the 1st anniversary of Hammond River Brewing being open.  Looking to have many more years in business.  '

On another note, there was a Doe and her two young fawns in the woods in my backyard today.  It was really painful to watch the two young ones try and maneuver is such deep snow as it was clearly over their heads.  I feel really sorry for the wildlife in these harsh conditions.  :(

Little late to takeover the old Lakeport brewery in Hamilton.  The property was taken over last year, :-(

I have NOTHING to complain about.  Talk about dedication.

http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2015/02/03/donations-offers-of-help-pour-in-for-detroit-man-who-walks-34-kilometres-to-and-from-work.html

So they have raised over $310,000 and a dealership just gave him a car.

Note the part where insurance was quoted at $15,000 PER YEAR!
