The US with President Obama in charge is certainly moving in the right direction when it comes to climate change and the rest of the world better be ready to play ball because we need to change fast.
What is clear, though, is that even the lowest, most conservative estimates are now higher than the IPCC’s highest estimate. “Most of my community is comfortable expecting at least a metre by the end of this century,” says Bindschadler.

Many climate scientists are saying by the year 2100 water levels will rise 1 meter at a minimum and that’s if we stop producing green house gases. That’s obviously not going to happen but we’re going to have to make severe sacrifices and the sooner the better (and easier).
It’s a good read for anyone who wants an idea at what will happen to water levels this century.

All in all Canada is a pretty awesome country to live in and Canadians should be grateful for what we have, I know I certainly am. =) To you and your family happy Canada day, hope it’s a good one!

Hehe Simba is so cute… I’m cat sitting for my folks this weekend and I’m certainly going to have a lot of fun!
My allergies are starting to act up but who cares, I have a cat to play with! =D
Fun
at Mandarin… No thanks I’ll pass I hate buffets but I’m sure there may be some people who are interested. :)

In the last year or so I’ve been using a lot of small short term goals to help motivate me to work harder and it certainly has paid off. Things have gone well for Maggie and I and I think it’s time to set a goal that’s a bit more ambitious. ;-) Looking at our finances, my new mid term goal (3-5 years) is to increase my yearly income a certain amount and save enough for a Porsche Boxster S.
(not my car… yet)
It’s not very enviornmentally friendly (I’ll make it up in other ways lol) but it certianly is pretty. :) Hopefully I’ll reach a point where I can get the Boxster S and by posting it to the world, it gives me a little extra motivation. I guess we’ll see how things go, wish me luck!
Personal Stuff
The US government has put together a report on how climate change may affect their country and it’s an interesting (though long) read. Man what a difference from when the George Bush was in charge huh, very refreshing.

Maggie has had difficulty with her new job ever since she started and it kind of blew up yesterday. Won’t get into details but it’s certainly made our relationship more difficult, she brings all the stress from work home and gives me a lot of crap on random things. I guess I should be more understanding but many times it catches me off guard because I don’t expect that type of reaction from her.
Good thing we have an open relationship, we discussed it and hopefully moving forward things will be better. LOL why to girls have to be so emotional…
Family
Man night games are a ton of fun but they certainly take a toll on your body (especially if you’re like me and not in shape lol). Another good night at FlagRaiders heh command is fun I like yelling at others, poor Mike I boss him around at work then I boss him around at the game. ;-)
That field can be quite difficult to navigate in the dark, there are lots of hills and gullies, I fell a few times and there’s a huge bruise on my right shin but the game was definitely worth it. Pictures are coming, Brian took a few and I’ll post them when they’re available.
Other than that I don’t have much news to report in my life, not really busy with anything other than work I guess I’ve just been a bit lazy with updates.

In between thunderstorms this evening I snapped some nice pictures of clouds from my condo and wanted to share. :)
Other than that nothing really new to report, I just finished a 24 marathon of season 7 and thought it was better than season 6. Only issue I have with the TV series is that everyone fires assault rifles and SMGs with stocks either folded or discarded altogether. Oh well that’s hollywood for you. ;-)
Fun
Yesterday Chris held a night game at FlagRaiders and it was a lot of fun. I haven’t played a night game in quite some time and man I have to get some night vision! ;-) The mil sim was well run, clear objectives and simple play which is my favorite and kudos goes to Jeremy for playing a darn scary terminator!
Here’s a quick team picture yeah a mish mash of camo but at night it doesn’t make a big difference. It was a fun night and I can’t wait to play with my boys (and girls) again. :)
