So its Hump Day today. Got a lot of work done. Tomorrow I have to pound it harder. Whitehorse will be fun. Basically arrive to work ready to go and take off from there. Pete from Kingston was trucking in Edmonton last night. He got to Wisconsin today.

Will AJ Burnett stay with the Blue Jays? Not to bloody likely. He pitched strong tonight. Even tipped his cap. The poor old Jays who have looked oh so good at the end. They were the best team in baseball for a eriod. They were beating all the teams they had to beat. Thought for a second they could run the table like Colorado.

I think I may have mentioned this before, but Gerber and the Sens are going to be real good. The Jason Smith pick up is pure genious. Smith is die hard rough and tumble hockey player. He'll skate on 1 leg no problem. Kuba is a huge pick up as well. Kuba has no leadership responsibilities heaped on him. He can just master his already solid game.

Stamkos is the real deal as well. He'll produce and contend for the Calder. Hockey is fortunate of the draft system and eligiblity concerns. Rookies seasons in the NHL are great to watch, especially with a healthy batch of playes who can make an impact immediately.

Dennis Bevington the MP for Western Arctic should be voted for in the upcoming election. He has a voice in the parliament. I'm sorry but I just don't see (Brandon Bell PC) fitting the position at this moment. Bevington deserves to stay. The Liberal party leader is a woman that generally has no buzz. And Sam Gamble of the Green Party and he is young.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

WELL IT IS ON RIGHT NOW BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SCORE IS. ITS MONDAY, THEREFORE ITS PROJECT RUNWAY. I'M SITTING AT THE TABLE LOOKING AT A PICTURE OF ME WITH THE NWT LICENSE PLATE. THE PLATE ALONE IS AMAZING.

I'M ALSO PLAYING POKER RIGHT NOW. POKER HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME. ALTHOUGH I DO PUT A LOT OF TIME INTO IT. BUT COMBINING EVERYTHING TOGETHER I'VE WON ROUGHLY $10000. ALL I REALLY HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT IS CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS. BUT I GUESS THATS ACTUALLY NOT A BAD THING.

I RAN 5KM AGAIN TODAY. UNDER 30 MINUTES WHICH IS A NEW PERSONAL BEST SINCE I STARTED WATCHING MY TIMES HERE IN YELLOWKNIFE. I CAN GO MORE. IT WAS BASICALLY A 10 MINUTE MILE PACE. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Ryder Cup Saturday

So here in Yellowknife on a brisky day. I ran over 5 1/2 miles today in 60 minutes. I think that is pretty good. And I also applied to college yesterday. The States seem to be leading right now. They have been hitting a l oy of puts. They have been clutch.

I got my hair cut earlier today. I think it turned out pretty good. I hate the fresh cut. You look like a dweeb for at least 7 days. I look in the mirror and all I can see is the new dew. Hair cuts suck. But the staff is nice. We baby sat a cat for a couple months earlier. Buddy had his entire jungle gym with him. Good times with the cat. But also some really annoying times. Poor neighbours must have thought we were starving it. He had such a bullshit meeeooowww. All the way down the hall you can here him.

Hockey season begins fairly soon. The Sens I think are going to surprise a lot of people. They are geared up and ready to go. Gerber is prime time this year, not Emery or general disractions. The trouble makers have been sent packing. Much like the Leafs who had to explode the dressing room up to start a completely new team. This team also I think can turn some teams upside down. Teams can bounce back really fast if they are given a fresh start.

Jeff Finger has to know that he is the luckiest guy in the NHL. His miracle contract will have eyes on him at all time. All he can do it play. But lordy if he sucks then Fletcher will take the heat for that one. It is deemed that he may not of even been worth $1 million a season. He is getting 3 + a season. Calling it right now. Ian White is better then Jeff Finger.

NOT HUMP DAY

SO TODAY WAS THURSDAY AND IT WAS A FAIRLY PRODUCTIVE DAY. I DID RUN ANOTHER 5KM TODAY BUT NOT TO MUCH MORE. I REALLY HAVE TO HIT THE WEIGHTS MORE OFTEN. SO YOU THINK CANADA IS ON TV RIGHT NOW. THE ANNOYING LADY FROM THE AMERICAN VERSION IS ALSO REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN HE HA.

ARE CANADIAN DANCERS BETTER THEN AMERICAN? I THINK WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD TALENT POOL TO DRAW FROM. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ONLY A FRACTION OF PEOPLE TO DRAW FROM. PLUS THEY PUMP SO MUCH MONEY INTO THAT TYPE OF THING. THE AMERICANS PUT SO MUCH MONEY AN EFFORT INTO ALL SPORTS. GOING TO A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME IS AN EXPERIENCE I'M SURE.

IN WORLDY NEWS TODAY, WE MIGHT HAVE WET SNOW IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. WHAM THE SUMMER HAS LEFT AND FALL IS QUICKLY TURNING INTO FULL FLEDGE WINTER ACTION. MY BOSS SIG, IS WINNING SOME MAJOR NEWSPAPER AWARD/HONOUR IN THE YEAR FUTURE. THE PAPER IS GREAT PLACE TO WORK. THE ROAD TRIPS THAT ARE FULLY PAID ARE AMAZING.

I'VE BEEN TO INUVIK TWICE NOW.

Back From Hay River

So its Monday and I was in Hay River on the weekend. The Hay River Trade Show. Wasn't to bad. Met some people.

But other then that lets get to politics. Canada and the United States are both now headed towards elections. That should be interesting. Can Harper and crew lead the way back to the capital? Will all the leaders visit Yellowknife?

I think they all should out of good nature visit the capital of all the provinces and territories and meet with the local representative. We in the North have a lot at stake as the Arctic is drastically changing for good and bad.

Over time and with the Russians acting the way they are, it should't be totally out of the question that we seriously have to worry abot the Russians from the high arctic. Nobody believes that we hold all the land to the extreme pole.

Do you know that the Fins can't stand the Russians. All the Scands are bickering back and forth. But they are a great bunch of people and are very similar to us in many ways.

Ice Road Truckers are the toast of the town in America. They love the show and call up North all the time looking for Alex Debadorski.
