As seen in this weekends Province, the 'Steele House' Really wild stuff in my opinion; like George Costanza I like to pretend I'm an architect! And this make believe architect likes the steel features in this home. Look at those bathrooms and kitchen, wild, dangerous steel everywhere!

Just had to post this to piss of Monkey Number Two. HeeHee. By the way y'all the kitten has a name. He is Hiram. And turning into quite the little adorable monster I might add. Very cross eyed, very Siamese; really hope the coyotes and or owls don't get near this little fella. His outdoor leach training is going well.

Holy shit, it's Newman!!! Can't anyone just do their jobs anymore? Gotta love the union's take on this as well:
Alleged mail theft a sign of increasing workloads, postal union says

An alleged case of mail theft by a postal worker in Winnipeg – one of the largest cases in the country's history – illustrates the increasing burdens and stresses of the job, her former union says.
* RELATED: Former letter carrier charged with mail theft
On Tuesday, police charged the former letter carrier, accusing her of failing to deliver the mail over a five-month period between October 2005 and February 2006, when she stopped working for Canada Post. The woman, 33, faces up to 10 years in jail, if convicted.
Canada Post investigators are still sorting through trash bags and boxes full of letters, small parcels and flyers police found stashed in the woman's east Winnipeg garage over the weekend.
Police have said they don't believe the woman was trying to steal the mail; rather, they think she simply failed to deliver it to its intended recipients in the Transcona area.
Brian Ferris, the president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said the case reflects a heavy-handed work environment at Canada Post.
"I'm concerned at why somebody would have to take the mail home and not feel safe or secure enough to go to their supervisor and explain that they've got a problem," Ferris told CBC News.
"If they find that a carrier has delayed the mail: automatic five-day suspension. What ends up happening is people don't say anything about what's going on. They hide it."
Post office says it monitors workloads
Ferris said a recent increase in mail volume and a dramatic rise in flyer delivery is making it difficult for some carriers to complete their routes in eight hours.
"We're seeing more and more that carriers are having problems completing their eight-hour work day," he said. "I think that the system is flawed."
Canada Post officials said the case was unusual. Spokeswoman Teresa Williams said the post office regularly assesses letter carriers' workloads.
"We measure our routes to ensure that they're not too long," she said. "There's a value attributed to absolutely every action the letter carrier would perform."
Williams could not say whether the former letter carrier's route would be re-evaluated.
People in Transcona whose mail was found in the woman's garage will have their letters and packages delivered, she said, with a letter explaining why it was late.

Finally some pics from work, where we're kinda like kids playing in a very large sandbox; with very large Tonka toys! These are all the pieces of support equipment I'm now licenced to run...I never want to see another haul truck again! Going to sleep now, even though it's sunny as hell; fucking night shifts! One left. Night y'all.
