05 Oct 08 Restaurant Azie Varennes : Soupe Miso, Poulet Général Tao, Canard à l’orange : déliceux et abordable !
So after doing a visit of the data centre (ok, server and network rooms) as well as my Armageddon like desk with Lesley, we decided to head out to a small Asian restaurant in Varennes. Mario had mentioned it as being quite good and most affordable.
So off we went into the heart of (ahem) downtown Varennes… just past the Mikes Restaurant on the 132 / boulevard Marie-Victorin one finds Restaurant Azie in a small strip mall. See the map below for details:
The exact coordinates are 2444 boulevard René-Gaultier, Varennes, QC J3X 1X7 and their phone number is 450-929-3222.

The restaurant is next to a now-closed International Video Club rental place, a Valentine greasy spoon and (brand new, extremely clean) Pharmaprix store.
At first I saw the prices - $16-22… I thought, hum, that’s not that cheap! But then I saw that that was for a 4 course meal including soup, salad or spring roll, main course, and dessert - nice price.

05 Oct 08 CBS 60 Minutes report on Delta Force mission lead by “Dalton Fury” against Osama Bin Laden… pre-empted at 8:00pm by the Amazing Race!
Talk about annoying.
I was just watching a pretty fascinating story on 60 minutes with the commander of the Delta Force unit (about 50 top commandos) sent into the hills of Afghanistan via Tora Bora to hunt down and kill Osama Bin Laden. They had heavily disguised the Delta Force commander, who has just written a book about the mission under the pseudonym Dalton Fury, and had first time video of the mission, which was to approach the 14,000 foot summits in the Afghan mountains where Bin Laden was suspected to be holed up.
Previous strategies to approach by surprise from the top side of the 14K mountains and another one to litter the path through the mountains with air-dropped landmines by unknown sources higher up, either in Central Command or even higher (i.e. POTUS)…

05 Oct 08 I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though.

Guess who that quote is attributed to in a just-released book…
