Re Phones: (snip)
It's a Nokia from RadioShack, and we've tested it from Casselman and
FLO. We're on a pay-as-you-go plan. (You buy a small card with an
activation code - I think it's something like $25 for 25 minutes
I overestimated the cost of the pay-as-you-go plan for the Nokia on
Rogers/AT&T. It's actually $10 for 30 minutes (one month) and $25 for
75 minutes (3 months).
Re FLO: I read in the paper today that the haze in the sky that
plagued the FLO session early in the week (well, actually the paper
didn't specifically mention the FLO. . .) was in fact a dust cloud
that was created during a huge storm over the Gobi Desert in early
April. Mongolian pea soup.
I just spoke to Stan Siok of Environment Canada about the "Mongolian
dust cloud". He confirmed that a blob of that cloud was over Ottawa
on Monday April 16 and Tuesday April 17, causing the hazy
conditions, but that a precursor had come into the area on Sunday
April 15 (the night of the FLO pea soup mound report). The tiny
particles of smoke & dust were in the upper troposphere. There was
also some scattered cloud in the area later in the evening.

Re Food: Attilla, if you know any good west-end Indian or Thai
restaurants, could you add them to the poll?
The food and company at the Little India Restaurant on Saturday were
simply terrific. A great way to turn the disappointment of a cloudy
night into a special occasion!
