Around nine o’clock we had one of those momentary glimpses of what amounts to neighborhood chaos: picture a white pickup truck, front driver-side wheel folded limply under the vehicle, swerving and accelerating down the street in front of our house. Now picture him doing multiple u-turns, slamming into the curb and at least one parked car, all the while scraping a three-inch wide, sparking gash down the asphalt. Now picture thirty or so of my neighbors rushing around trying to compose the situation, the girl across the road sprinting down the sidewalk on her cellphone attempting to get a license plate identification and the guy across the street snapping photos of the action with his mobile, while another car apparently driven by a local off-duty cop speeds behind in pursuit. I rushed the scene, Sparkle in tow, if only to investigate around my own curiosity. And when I took Spark for a walk an hour later, the fuzz were still lingering. |

Trouble in Sparkle-Land! >> When I let our puppy out to pee this morning shortly after 6:30, somehow (odd, that) I didn't foresee a trip to the Emergency Pet Hospital some 15 minutes later. As usual we let her out the back door to do
What is that? >> Saturday: What is that? Just another day of the week without purpose? Seven days from now I will be floating around Edmonton wondering what to do with myself. Fourteen days from now Derek and Shannon will be married.
in reference to yesterday’s famous nut >> Dad boasts: (in reference to yesterday's famous "LEGO.nut") Yes I know Frank. He is an awesome poultry researcher. As you will note some of his publications are with my second cousin from Rocky Mtn House. Did not know Frank was a lego
harassing the locals >> It was Saturday, so again Karin and I found ourselves out for a highly directed drive southwards. Of course, we stopped by the build site. The recent cold weather didn't disappoint my expectations that not much had been done.
