Its amazing how much the Ship Canal Commons has transformed the space it occupies. It's amazing how disgusting it used to be back in the day and how much crap went in the water. Its especially gross because like most of the heavy industry around there, its directly upstream of our water intake.

Anyways, it seems much nicer now. I wonder what types of businesses will end up occupying the location.

I also wonder how all the trees planted in rocks are going to survive?

We literally cleaned from the moment we woke up until 5 minutes ago. I steam cleaned all the floors and Terry even washed all the curtains and blinds. I finally emptied out the closet under the stairs. I had waited so long to have a home for the vacuums. At the very back of the very bottom of it I found the key for he drill that I lost maybe the first week we moved here in 2006. I was almost at the point of throwing out the drill. I am glad I didn't.

I must have emptied out 10 giant canisters of dust from the vacuum.

It was awesome. The prices were good, the smoothie was delicious and the inside has this awesome orange wall paint.

The photos from the beta awards are up on the infotech niagara facebook page

I stole the ones of me to post here seeing as all the pics I have from that night (e:paul,56319) were dark.

Today it got up to 76 at one point. By Monday it will be 39. I barely did anything today;( but the tortoises got a bath.
