The Easter Week end

Kick in the head. The basics.
Hiker in S America , standing beside the railroad tracks  is shooting a video for a blog.
As he stands there , a train passes and a foot kicks him in the head
The video goes viral w/ 16 million hits and the hiker is now advertising for a video company

Weather :Sunny and getting nicely warm
blue sky , wind is really down

What happens when you don't know any better

W/ the iphone , I was trying to use up my mobile hotspot data allowance as well as the home internet service

Home : we have gone over our allotted 20 GB , 2 months running
we think mostly b/c of on line casino use
The Bell Sympatico service , charge us for 2 months over run on data and then bumped us up to a 40 GB ( at no charge ??? , thats what they're saying at this time )  Good
I used the data limit on the mobile hotspot and left a safety margin

Aha , then.  I was charging the mobile hotspot for 6 hrs. The iphone was on as well. While charging the mobile hotspot turns on ( didn't know that ) and used up another 30 MB that put me over the limit.
The iphone must have been using the the internet feed for updating etc
The Bad. The next level up for the mobile hotspot plan is double the base cost. Yick.
Lesson learned ?  One hopes

In the news. House prices rose 8 % in the T.O. area , despite the cooling markets across Canada. Average home prices in T.O. are now approaching  $ 760 thousand.
