Go miscellany!

• I got on the elevator in the lobby this morning, and it was empty. I looked forward to the quick trip to the 12th floor. Until on the 3rd floor the elevator stopped and someone got on, pressing the button for 4.  At the 4th floor, she got off and someone else got on, pressing the button for 5. At the 5th floor, he got off and nobody else got on. I am glad the pattern stopped.
• Wells' Third Law states that on any given issue, Canadian politics will tend toward the least exciting result. However, there are occasional exceptions, such as this one. Short version: this shady character is probably about to be extradited to stand trial in Germany for something, but he paid our former Prime Minister $300k in cash for nobody's-really-sure-what, and the former PM didn't really tell anybody about it (even in his recently published memoirs) until he was kinda forced to, so now everybody's running around in circles. He was trucked in against the government's wishes (minority governments have this situation sometimes) and then said he isn't willing to talk until his appeal about extradition is dealt with. And by dealt with, I'm pretty sure he means 'made to go away now thank you.' It's vaguely circus-like.
• My favourite lunch restaurant, Lettuce, was out of poppy seed dressing today. My Soho Salad tasted very weird with their recommended alternative, and I have filed it as edible, but unsatisfying.
• I would like a winning lottery ticket. Not a big one -- I'm not greedy -- but a winning one. I figure it's time. This whole real world thing is no fun.
