'Tonight's forecast--dark...'--Al Sleet                                                                   Dreamed of visiting a farm in Alberta and seeing crude oil risen to the surface of the ground; seeing a small industrial building struck by lightning and catching fire. [It turned out that there'd been a loud explosion in the city that night.]                                                                                      Saw the DVD of a 1978 George Carlin special.  I was glad he redid his routine as Al Sleet the hippy-dippy weatherman. [I showed it to the parents, who don't like his dirtier stuff.]                                                                   Dinner was haddock. [For some reason, the guy who sold it said it was halibut.]                                                                                       Saw the DVD of Grandpa's Treasure of Wonderful Stories, an animated production from India based on the Hitopadesha stories, their equivalent of Aesop's fables. [One story was about two friends called Goodie and Baddie...]                                                              Checked out the National Film Board's new website [still in the beta stage] and saw a couple of World War II documentaries.
