No Time Left To Lose ♫

Ok, so yesterday our very own nuclear power plant had an "issue" where a pump seal "failed".  The result, 73,000 litres of demineralized water pumped into our lovely Lake Ontario.  Watching the news this evening, the poor bastard that was put up as a spokesman for the Pickering Power Plant stated that this is nothing really new, but they have not been forced to report it as news.  Since the words "Nuclear Meltdown" is melting down nearly everyone's brain at this point, attention is intently focused on those nuclear power plants that are here in Ontario.

OPG Statement

Not to be out-shined by a mere nuclear scare, we were presented with the news that we had indeed experienced an earthquake earlier today with the epicentre in Ontario & felt in areas of Quebec as well. Odd as it seems, I have felt 2 earthquakes here in Ontario in the last 10 years, one last summer, the other several years ago.  The latter significant enough for me to see my office walls moving & make me nauseas. Very surreal but nothing more than a breeze compared to the severity of others in the world.  I have so much respect for all of you who have lived, & are living through, such a frightening display of the this planets' rage.  I do not like feeling frightened; & I am.

Lots of fluffy emails come & go saying "live every day like it is your last" & "dance like no one is watching"...I usually delete them to be honest, but the bottom line, amidst the end of days predictions, be them from persons who are religious, scientific minds, cosmic theorists, odd shaped potato chips, whatever your regular source of information is...if you have people you love, love them, if you have people you miss, talk to them, if there are things you want to do or say in your life.... do them.  Waiting to tell someone how you feel about them is just, well, dumb.

I'm not sure if I am CNN shocked or what is happening, but I do know that I appreciate each day that I get to wake up & talk to the people I care about & know that they care about & love me.  It is a really great feeling that should not have to be provoked by fear but the fact that my perspective has forever changed is a quiet blessing.

Peace, Man

Don't forget to take the time & get yourself a huge glass of green beer!  You deserve it.
