Don't mind the green sludge

Why does everyone here always look at me like I'm the crazy one when I say I don't want to swim in the power plant tailings pond? Am I missing something? It's the most popular place in the region to swim & hang out on the (sort of) beach and somehow I'm the odd one when I resist swimming in it. OK granted, it's not actually a tailings pond, it's only a cooling pond - for a giant industrial facility!!! Just doesn't seem right.

Belated responses to old comments: the cat never came back, when I was 13 Hillary Duff was like negative two, the milk was fine, the neighbours were only here for a month so I never bothered getting to know them, the bird was yet another experience I'm glad I had but really don't want to have again, donate unresellable(?) texts back to the program, people will be happy for free out of date editions, and no I don't think the camera was near a magnet, but that's a dam good thought.

Simpson's moment of the day (brought to you by Vioxx):
[Lisa fears a new girl in school is more talented than she]
Marge: Believe me, honey. She's more scared of you than you are of her.
Lisa: You're thinking of bears, mom.

I am inclined to go along with your opposition to submerging into any body of water that is related to power plants, sewage treatment facilities and anything they try to pass of as a 'recreation site.'

I would go one further and stay away from public beaches in general. :P
I finally saw the music video Nickelback was filming in Hanna. Hehe.

I'm just trying to catch up a bit with this blog reading. Not being on the net for a month puts you behind the eight ball. I admit myself that I miss Kamloops, never thought I would say that, but it's the people I miss more.
As for fucking around in a small town paper. It's not so bad for me, though I wasn't too happy about how much tax came off my check. The worst thing about my paper is that I have to remind the editor/reporter that taking a photo with no one in it isn't good. He was going to ask me to take a photo of a road, where there used to be a bump and now it's fixed. He thought it might interest people. I couldn't help but laugh my ass off. I did this in front of him, he eventually laughed too. I will keep reading and might leave more comments.

Sounds like a plot line from the Simpsons.
