I have to note the weather first. Summer has been playing hide and seek since May but now the switch has flipped to full blast. The room where I'm typing is air conditioned but after I return home from BCIT, I will have to switch on the fan. At least I know that it'll cool down to less than 15C (59C) at night. It always does.
Earlier today, a guy from Walmart called. Just before buying my electric bicycle last weekend, I noted that the province of BC would only collect half the usual sales tax on it. It didn't ring though the cash register that way, so I left a print out from the provincial website with the manager of automotive. He said he'd check on it. Sure enough, he called back to say he was looking into it. We are still not sure about the procedure but it appears as if I must apply for the rebate. Supposedly, it will also positively affect my provincial taxes next year. We're not talking vast funds here but even if I get the equivalent of a free bike helmet, I'll be satisfied.
On another front, I talked with my domain name and web-hosting service in Toronto. Due to circumstances, I need to sign on for a new account in order to obtain more disc space. My old account cannot be upgraded because of hardware restrictions and so if I sign up again, I can get over 15 times the storage space for approximately the same amount of cash. It seems a little unwieldy but sometimes stuff just happens, I guess.I could continue typing on a variety of strange tangents. For some reason I want to reiterate now stupid I think Twitter is. Yet, because this post will automatically end up as a link on my account there, I won't spend much time discussing this. As well, I'm not ready to make comments about either of the trips scheduled for later in the year. We did book three nights in Bangkok on the return from our month in Sri Lanka. We've also been looking into what to do in Cambodia for a week. Writing about that, or the end of year trip to NYC seems premature. I could complain about how awful my sister is at keeping in touch unless I happen to be in her plans. Or maybe, I'll just sign off.
