On a train bound for nowhere (or Ottawa if you want to call it that)

Look how dedicated I am to you all. Start of my holiday, my long weekend and here I am blogging. That's dedication.

In reality I'm on a train, so what else would I be doing?

I love trains. There's no better way to travel manageable distances. On a plane I'd have no leg room, no wireless and I wouldn't have been able to bring my own beer (more on that later). On a bus I've be feeling ill so no reading or blogging.

Instead I have loads of space, a big window (currently going past some kind of wetland - curious) and free wifi. Viarail for the win.

And I know I'm not usually a beer drinker but this was free from some girl on the side of the road, so you know it's good.

Actually, here's your misleading product description of the day. This is Michelob's "Ultra", which describes itself as just 95 calories per serving. "Huh," I thought "That is pretty low." Look closer, and discover a serving it's 341ml, while a can is 355. Not a huge difference, I know, but still... Was it necessary?

And for your current events update, two guys who are sadly well outside my dating age range but have otherwise proven themselves worthy. First up, the 52 year old columbia university janitor who earned his classics degree after 12 years of part time study. His hollywood worthy story includes escaping the yugoslavian civil war just before he would have finished his law degree twenty years ago.

And next up nine year old Josef Miles who held a one-man (boy) protest against the westboro baptist church with a hand drawn sign saying "god hates no one".

That's all for this week. See you next friday!
