Farewell to Yoshi and our pool

N's siamese fighting fish Yoshi died today. Yoshi was around two years old. He was a good fish as fish go. He wasn't a lot of work and entertained us with his bubble nests. We kept him in a fish tank unlike a lot of betta fish in pet stores who, in my opinion are inhumanely kept in very tiny bowls.

Goodbye Yoshi.

N was a little sad but quickly recovered after he flushed the toilet. I am just waiting for him to ask for another pet. A hamster would be my first bet.

We drained and cleaned our pool today and put it away for next year. I would like a bigger pool. Not getting a bigger pool would be my first bet.

Observations from an office window
I'm on holidays but have been spending nites at work so I can be on holidays. Things I have noticed on my late shifts:
1. Drinking two large Tim's coffee will keep you up all nite and into the next morning. I'm now drinking decaf.
2. The hotel across the street is even busier at night. A lot of people with dogs hang out at the front door.
3. The dance studio also across the street is a lot bigger inside then I had imagined. Having the lites on makes it easier to see inside. No sign of Mr. Gere.
4. I start to get a little creeped out at work at around 3 a.m. Hmm...this also seems to happen at 3 p.m.
5. One of the cleaning staff likes to be called Boo Boo.
