lotusland - nervous politics from a laid-back city

sleeping in airports

yes - sleeping in airports.  i was surprised logan airport scored so low - ive slept there the few times ive been through boston in the past six months... then again, i can sleep anywhere.  except heathrow.  yeah.  where are they on that list? 

vancouver does pretty shoddily here, but lets not forget ours is the only airport in canada with 24 hr udon availability, as well as overly fake-looking life size nature dioramas to greet you as you deplane.  the other thing that sucks about yvr is all the maple syrup with the canada logos you can buy that is actually bottled in vermont - boo.

bc is fun

i'm contemplating going somewhere for 4 daysish, preferably by ferry, so i can sit in isolation and finish a paper. i can leave vancouver 11:30 pm wednesday night and arrive back to vancouver the following monday by 4 pm. any suggestions would be welcome.

from ctv:

The last time a provincial government declared its books debt-free was in the late 1960s.

Then-British Columbia premier W.A.C. Bennett marked the occasion by loading up a barge full of government debentures, floating it on Lake Okanagan and attempting to ignite it with a flaming arrow.

The stunt missed its mark, leaving a Mountie to ignite the blaze with his cigarette lighter.

cute.
