Today's discovery of annoying: SMT raises their prices in the summer. On July 1. And they do NOT mention this on their website. I was rather unimpressed when my bus ticked was twenty dollars instead of thirteen.

Gwen and I wandered down to the Canada Day stuff at Caseley Park. We ran into Sammy's mom on the way down... Natalie is getting REALLY big. She has this curly red hair, it's quite cute. We ran into some of Gwen's friends there. I got them running around screaming "FLUFFY BUNNIES"... no, no particular reason. I taught her friends to swing dance and one of her friends taught everyone to polka. We had a four person polka to some totally non-polka song, it was great!

My brother's friends are all tall and deep voiced now. This does not compute. In fact, my brain hurts.

And in honour of Canada Day...

When I look around me
I can't believe what I see
It seems as though this country
Has lost its will to live
Our economy is lousy
We barely have an army
But we can still stand proudly
'Cause Canada's really big!

We're the second largest country
On this planet Earth
And if Russia keeps on shrinking
Then soon we'll be first
(As long as we keep Quebec)

The USA has tanks
ANd Switzerland has banks
They can keep them, thanks
They just don't amount
'Cause when you get down to it
You find out what the truth is
It isn't what you do with it
It's the size that counts!

Some people may tell you
That France is pretty large
BUt you can fit fourteen Frances
Into this land of ours
(It'd take a whole lot of work
It'd take a whole lot of work)

We're larger than Malaysia
Almost as big as Asia
We're bigger than Australia
And it's a continent
So big we seldom bother
To go see one another
Though we often go to other
Countries for vacation

Our mountains are very pointy
Our prairies are not
The rest is kinda bumpy
But man do we have a lot!
(We've got a lot of land
We've got a whole lot of land)

So stand up and be proud
And sing it very loud
We stand out from the crowd
'Cause
CANADA'S
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!
