So, at work I was checking some goods for shipment. On the list was an Adaptor Cable 18" . So I looked at the listing, and I looked at the cable. I looked back at the listing for an 18 inch adaptor, and I picked up the coil of 18 feet of cable and took it back to production. Two lessons here:
1.  This is why we have the QC department.
2. When entering a line in an order, to avoid confusion, use words (foot, inch) rather than symbols (‘,”). Some of us can't see the tiny details.

The review of Ethan Claymore is in and they like it.

Sales have gone through the roof. This week we sold out four shows in a row. The audiences seem to really like it. We’ve been getting great feedback via e-mail and social media. With each run, there have been fewer and fewer glitches, and we're getting better at coverings the ones that do crop up. All the sort of things that come with experience. Each night has its own exciting moments, but any more there’s nothing big enough for the audience to notice. The biggest thing recently happened on Friday. After an hour of comedy, the end turns quite sentimental. Martin tears up and Friday everyone noticed that I was too. After I say goodbye forever to my brother I had tears running down my face and was sniffling a bit. Good acting? No, I got a hair in my contact lens. It hurt like hell but I kept my focus and pressed on through the last ten minutes of the play. While it WAS an effective strategy, I can’t recommend it. I’m a method actor but that was a bit too much even for me.

So this week I was listening to the CBC. They were interviewing a Rabbi about Hanukah. It was an interesting conversation. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/hanukkah-modern-menorahs-popular-for-jewish-holiday-1.2875030. One of the things he talked about were Menorahs. Apparently a lot of people are using more modern designs, which is cool. He said that his kids even make their own each year, which has been a great thing for them to do together as a family. Well, wonderful except for the Lego one that, "nearly burned down the house". And he also said that while Latkahs , fried potato pancakes, are traditional, some are going with substitutes, other fried foods, for convenience. So in that spirit I stopped off at Tim Horton's that morning and picked up an order of hash browns and a donut. Happy Hanukah.

And speaking of Tim's, here is a story of how not to complain about a sandwich. This guy had a disagreement with his local Tim Horton's about onions. When the argument didn't go the way he wanted he threw a snake at the person behind the counter.

Yeah, that was effective. 
Oh and it happened in Saskatchewan. Why are the weird stories like this always from either Oregon or Saskatchewan? 

I guess that's not fair though. Some weird stories do happen elsewhere. Like this example from the Netherlands. This guy wanted to propose to his girlfriend and he thought it would be romantic if he had a crane lower him outside her balcony. So he rented a crane and tried the stunt. The trouble is that he and his buddies didn't know how to run a crane. They succeeded in tipping it over. It landed on her house, destroying the roof. Yeah, really romantic. Not to mention impressing the heck out of her parents, who own the house. The couple is either celebrating, or hiding out, in Paris.

PIX: We’ve had a lot of crummy weather this week. But even storms can be pretty in their own way.
