Home for hollidays

My car can still drive all the way from Edmonton to the Crowsnest Pass on a single tank of gas without burning any oil. Actually, I checked the oil before the trip, and then after and it had more oil than when I left. Turns out my Dad put some in, but now it’s very full. Mostly I’ve been sleeping in but I’ve also been playing guitar, playing with the dog, organizing and rating all the photos on my computer, and working on transfering some of my old blogger posts. My parents still keep my worms in their basement. I got them back in 2001 as a composting idea for my university residence. Now it’s almost 2006 so that means that it’s housed about 5 generations of worms. They ate all the original bedding so I cut up a bunch of newspaper for them to devour. I think the worm population is porportional to the amount of space they have to live in and if I started splitting them up and making new bins I could have an army of red wigglers to sell. But I don’t think my parents would like that so much, to have their basement covered in worm bins. I’ll also be trying to clean up/work on my car with my Dad’s help so I can take advantage of a warm garage chalk full of tools and jacks and whatnot.

As for plans for the next few days, I’ll be in the Pass for new years and will likely head up to Edmonton about the 5th or so. University doesn’t start until the 9th, so I have some spare time. Yay!
