Making Decisions

Are we in control of our own decisions?

My favourite quote is at the end "If we understood our cognitive limitations like our physical ones we could design a better world." I wonder how this applies to political elections between two candidates or 3/4? Do prime ministers in Canada more regularly run consecutive terms than in the states?

Weather

So this is the extended forecast for Abbotsford. Pretty sweet after several damp days.

Baking

I just got back from a baking class. There were only 7 of us, 3 of which were kids. We were shown how to make sweets like brownies, a cream cake which is delicious and jam cookies. I'm going to try making the cream cake next time I decide to bake something, with whipped cream icing that has a secret ingredient to keep it stiff.

This evening in a couple hours I'll get my new bed delivered. I'm excited. I bought some sheets and a couple pillows from the bay, they were having a big sale. I think I got a really good deal on the sheets too. There was only 1 bed set package left so I couldn't be choosey, we'll see how it turns out. I may need to buy a blanket now but we'll see.

Top Gear

Ok, so after watching a marathon of old episodes of Top Gear the British Car show I can say it is one of my favorite TV shows. The pranks those guys play on each other and toys they get to play with are ridiculous. There is a 24/7 stream of episodes here

I have spent a fair amount of yesterday watching these. I downloaded the special episode where they go to Vietnam, it is one of the best shows. It's hard to tell if the producers are just being mean or funny.

I think Ricahrd Hammond is my favorite bloke of the lot.
