WHO extends its SARS-related travel advice to Beijing and Shanxi province in China and to Toronto, Canada

Toronto's Mayor, Mel Lastman, is pretty steamed about the WHO's report calling it a "gross misrepresentation of the facts". This does not bode well for the city's economy especially in regards to tourism which ramps up considerably in the summer. Hopefully SARS will be conquered sooner rather than later. Lots of people are truly terrified. I'm not sure whether or not the WHO is right about their warnings on SARS, but methinks it best to err on the side of caution.

I know this site was slow yesterday. I was pretty ticked off as I couldn't get to the site myself for most of the day. According to my ISP, the servers there were suffering Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks. Bored hackers I guess.

One word: Ugh!

Carol made waffles with almond butter on them this morning. I was in the bathroom getting ready for work and Carol stepped outside just for a second. When Carol came back in Moosh was sitting in the kitchen licking her lips the way a dog does when they've eaten something sticky (like almond butter) and my waffles were missing. Apparently she put her paws up on the counter and snatched the goodies. Rotten dog

Today Moosh is not a hero like the dog in the picture from yesterday's article. Today Moosh is a brat and Carol's dog. :(
