Vacation salutation
It’s time once again for some vacation so before I take off on the Harley for a road trip, let’s tidy up a few items.
The mayor of the New Hampshire town where 17 high school girls reportedly had a pregnancy pact, was lying! We were all horrified that so many girls had apparently made an agreement to get pregnant around the same time and raise their babies together. One even went so far as to sleep with a homeless man so she wouldn’t be left out! Turns out it was made up by a possibly panicked mayor, trying to explain why the pregnancy rate at his town’s high school was so high.
Someone somewhere knows who put out poison in High Park. Someone complained about rodents in the garden and likely mused aloud to someone else about getting rid of them for good. So far, two dogs have died and others were sickened. And frankly, you have to wonder about someone who would take it upon themselves to kill animals anyway. I have no trouble squishing a spider or slapping a mosquito but that’s about as far as it goes. We share real estate with the critters and if they’re that bothersome there are humane ways to relocate them. The death of the dogs just proves that putting out poison is an uncontrollable and reckless way to rid an area of vermin.
So now a city councillor wants the city to experience what it would be like without the Gardiner by shutting down the portion that’s under threat of tear-down, for one week. The mayor is in favour of an assessment instead. We should go for the trial run! What better way to see how this city would cope, than with a practical, trial run? No one wants to be inconvenienced, of course. But that’s what 680News’ traffic reports are for!
I hope you have a wonderful week and a half and I’ll catch you back here on July 8th.
