Advanced Polling

I voted today for the upcoming municipal election. Today was the first of two advance polling dates and was the only time a polling station would be setup in my apartment building. As soon as I came home after work and my shopping excursion I voted. The convenience of having the polling station right in the building is great. I will admit that I didn’t know anything about the two candidates running for the school board (English, Public) in my ward so I voted for the female.

After work I stopped at the Bay and purchased a new winter coat. I had decided that this wasn’t really news-worthy on my web log as it would be foolish of me to think that anyone really cares, however I have uncovered new information about the coat that I think is worth sharing. When looking at the inside of the coat I noticed the back-side of a small zipper. I lightly tried to negotiate the zipper open from this angle, which was difficult, when I noticed another zipper of the same size on the inside of the coat. At this point I investigated further by flipping the coat over to the other-side, feeling approximately where the zipper would be but I found my hand feeling the sleeve of the coat. Quickly I realized that the sleeve was actually between my hand and the zipper so I flipped the sleeve up only to find the front of the zipper in the arm-pit! That’s right: this coat has little arm pit zippers to open vents to reduce the build-up of heat in this perspiring area. Amazing.

I had a very productive day at work today which gave me a great feeling of accomplishment–a feeling I hope continues into tomorrow. A trip to MEC is on the agenda for this weekend with my dear friend Adam J. I hope to also see Granté-Granté and Evan this weekend as well.
