BC and Yukon Webcams

I am sure that most pilots already know about this but for anyone that doesn't these cams are really good and helpfully when you are planning on going on a nice cross-country flight. There is a lot of cams of B,C a few in Washington state and the Yukon and even some in Alaska!

Check them out!

Apple Table

I heard a rumor that apple is designing a table for restaurants, so when you sit down a menu appears and then when you order wines and other things the table will tell you pairing to go with what you ordered.

I am wondering if this is true or not?

October Flight

CYVR

Squamish
Yesterday a guy I work with invited me to go flying, of course I agreed, so he rented a Cessna 172 for a few hours and we went for a cruise. We started off at YVR, which was so cool because I had only flown out of YVR once in a small wheel plane before. From YVR we headed to Sechelt(CAP3), did a touch and go, and then headed up Howe Sound to Squamish(CYSE). We did a few circuits in then stopped in Squamish and talked to some friends for awhile. After leaving Squamish we cut over the mountains to Indian Air. Once we got closer to YVR it was really busy so we were directed all over and then finally got cleared to land. It was a great flight,  and such a beautiful day to go. The whole flight was 2.2 hours.

Managerial Accounting Midterm

I have a big midterm coming up tomorrow night. Not really sure how well I am going to do. I know the concepts but Accounting midterms are always so hard, it is almost like no matter how much you know you will still get most of it wrong.
