What's on your mind today?

[Buddy]

The agenda today was to do some shopping. On the way there, my eyelids kept wanting to close, so I thought a stop at Starbucks for an iced coffee was in order. As I got out of the car, I heard squealing tires. I turned around just in time to see a large pickup truck hit a metal light post head on - the light post wound up in the middle of the engine compartment. The guy wasn't wearing his seatbelt - he hit the wind shield and then was flung halfway out the driver's side window. It took over half an hour for them to get him out of the truck.  It keeps replaying in my head.

That is just awful. Do you know if the guy was alive?

[Velma]

He was taken away in an ambulance.  I've looked on the local news sites and haven't seen anything about it.  I may never know.

[OldGit]

Then again, he might have hit you.

Git,
Just looked at your profile, and 65 is not that old. I am not that far behind you and still feel like a 40 year old LOL. I did notice your picture has the looks of a hard life, but than this could be just from life experiences. If so your face is trying to tell an action movie story with all those lines.

I believe that picture was taken twenty years ago.

OMA, do you do this DJ?  That's fantastic, you should loan it to Tank.

Ohh no, it's not mine. Just something I found on the interwebs.  I did post it there for Tank, though.

Thank you. I love it

Fixed it for you.

It's Canada Day. Not feeling very patriotic. It's also Memorial Day back home, to remember the loses of the Newfoundland Regiment during Beaumont-Hamel in WWI.

Not feeling very patriotic either, but going downtown for fireworks later anyhow. I'd honestly be just as happy staying in with a movie. This cold/flu thing just won't quit.

Boo cold/flu!
Holy crap, have you been hearing all of the fighter jets flying around all morning?

Change of plans, no fireworks, kiddo's sick to her stomach.

And holy crap, YES, they've been loud and insane! I've also heard sirens all day. I can assume both have to do with the holiday, hopefully for two different reasons.

We just got back from Parliament Hill. I got a picture of "you know who". Well, his car, anyway.



Such a man of the people. What with his closed tinted windows and police force yelling at pedestrians and all.

Maybe it's about those people who think shooting at political figures is a very good idea. 

Usually an american thing, but still...

Yeah you never know.

Well, the Governor General was good enough to wave when he drove by . And Harper spoke out in the open in public a few minutes later, so I don't really see what the difference would have been since the street was closed and swept just as the stage that he spoke on was. It is a bit unusual for a politician in Canada to do this (annnnnd part of me just likes justifying my dislike of him, I'll admit it.)
