Monday AGAIN?!?!

I was up early this morning because I have a new woman here to clean for me and I wanted her to come before a 10:30 appointment this morning so she was here at 8 am. I was up at 7 and about 7:30 or so there was some idiot out on the street honking his car horn. Then another one chimed (honked!) in. Then a bus. So of course I had to go have a look. Well there covering the street and blocking all traffic was a flock of Canada geese! When I ran into my neighbour she told me her husband had counted them....48 in all! Of course none of them ran off in terror or anything... they calmly just waddled their way across the street and then settled down to eat and nap. Hilarious!

Big news in the Vancouver papers this morning is that one of the infamous Bacon Brothers (not to be confused with Hills Brothers!) was shot and killed yesterday in Kelowna. Since their home territory is Abbotsford I can only surmise that even gangsters need vacations. Who knew?!?! I think the majority of British Columbians will agree that the loss of one of the Bacon brothers is no great loss but the idea of a shoot out happening in the peace of the Okanagan is quite disturbing. Thank heavens no bystanders were injured, although I can only begin to imagine the emotional trauma of seeing something like that go down! Scary stuff.

Have a wonderful day wherever in the world you are!
