The chemical smell in the water

It has been back again for a bit. I seriously cannot stand it. I won't even wash my salad with it anymore because the salad ends up smelling too.

I want to know what causes it. Its smells sort of like permanent marker. Its not my house either, I smell it in other places. Its almost like it replaced the fishy smell of zebra muscle that used to be in the water.

Is it possible that it is some sort of thing to kill them off. Last time I wrote about it in 2008 (e:paul,44701), (e:matthew) linked to a buffalo news article but the link is gone and I cannot remember what it was. Thats probably a side effect of the chemical itself, lol.

Being sick sucks

I can't believe that I have a cold right now. I think its the combination of allergies and then cold weather plus air conditioning that made me sick. Its one of those stupid painful sore throats where it hurts to talk. Hopefully this spicy veggie soup helps and it goes away soon.

Normally I hate Microsoft but this system seems pretty awesome

Its based on a standard language, its free and it runs on android.

The system basically allows you to program event based actions for your phone using JavaScript or by deleting pre-written recipes.

Buffalo Pride 2012

Hated it. Maybe worst day ever. The only good part was seeing my cousin and the hillariousness of the seagull attack on my brother. Not sure if I am even going next year.

Cranky Wet Tortoise

Poor tortoises have been so wet and cold. I hate bringing them in but they seem so miserable. (e:terry) brought them in this afternoon.

Franklin and North

Since they fixed the corner they have torn up the street several times. Now it looks like they are going to put in a new sewer system. There are marks down all of the new fancy sidewalks like they are going to have to cut them up. I don't understand why they didn't do all of this while the street was tore up last year.
