  • .@kj_mclean Well, I’m glad *someone* remembers that show. “It’s Bixby and Me, we live in a tree…” #
  • 4:30 pm. Just *now* I’m able to do some real work. Crap, needs to be done by tomorrow. Good thing I planned on staying late… #
  • Ah-hah! Another one (@rtousi) remembers Bixby and Me. Maybe it was just an East Coast thing? #

  • One cat hiding under the bed, one on my lap completely unfazed at the #CelebrationOfLight fireworks. #CatsAreMysterious #
  • Ah, the post-fireworks sounds: RCMP helos circling, angry boat horns in False Creek, sirens on ambulances heading to VGH. #BestPlaceOnEarth #
  • Uncontent with merely crawling around, Q has taken to standing on his own … about 8 months before his brother did #

  • RT @bcbusiness: Finance Minister Colin Hansen announces BC sales tax to be harmonized with federal GST. #
  • What’s the difference between GST and HST? Other than the provincial surcharge, nothing. http://bit.ly/cwKXy #
  • BC HST announcement includes list of “point-of-sale rebates” on fuel, books, kid’s clothes + supplies. Hmm, so any net change for consumers? #

  • Thunder showers in Greater Vancouver. Not what you want to hear when the fire risk is extreme. #
  • Thunderstorms, so rare for Vancouver, are getting more intense. Time to start thinking about unplugging sensitive equipment. #
  • Ho-lee! Lightning filling the sky here. Time to shut everything down. Later tweeps! #
  • RT @alexishinde: The lightning is so dramatic that people on the beach [for tonight’s fireworks] are cheering for each strike. #
  • BIG white “cloud” coming from Cypress or behind. Hope that’s not the smoke that it looks like :o #
  • Gwen is on the balcony watching the lightning. Aidan is in the dining room, doing same. I guess we’re going to let him watch the fireworks! #
