Hello everyone, I haven't been on here in a while, I took a trip to lovely British Columbia to stay in the Fortress of Verisimilitude, I saw wondrous things there such as a patent for the question mark, and did you know there is such a thing as a semi-colon?(tm HTWAVCBH). British Columbia is a beautiful province, even if you get the feeling that a Bruce Lee movie is gonna break out any second, but far be it from me to speak ill of a province where the Tim Horton's all have English Toffee, and I also discovered the wonder that is a pumpkin scone, but more on that in the future. While I was away I managed to keep up on some of the news that is going on at home, and around the globe, here are some things that caught my eye, and since I have a wonky right eye, you know they are important. Oh, and before I forget, to the WestJet worker who stole my brother's video camera on his trip home, I hope you get herpes, actually I hope you get the next worse thing from herpes, super herpes.
It seems the popular thing to do is occupy places, it started off with Wall Street, and now it seems everybody is taking up space. Here in Newfoundland it is no different, as a group of protesters who strangely enough already live in St. John's held an occupy St. John's protest. Organizers were thrilled at the turnout until they discovered that the majority of people were just there to try and find the last treasure map for the Hits 99 ten thousand dollar radio contest.
While I was away our province went to the polls and voted in majority favor for the status quo. There are not many places in the world that have a woman in charge, and with Kathy Dunderdale Newfoundland is pretty darn close to being on that list. I was surprised the New Democratic Party only got five seats, I guess their wave of momentum has ended, they should have done what I suggested and changed their party slogan to "NDP: Jack Layton." The Liberal party finished second with six seats, which really shows you how the mighty have fallen, I mean even most vans can fit six people these days, so it should be good when they have to carpool. The plus being that it's good for the environment, the negative being if the van broke down the house would have to be closed because there would be no opposition. Whatever happened to the powerhouse Liberals of back in the day? Brian Tobin ruled with an iron fist, and never let anything get in his way, a principle his son carried on to more disastrous results.
A few weeks ago a woman was murdered in the capitol city after a dispute with her boyfriend, now murder is still pretty rare in our neck of the woods, but this makes three I think in the past year. Police officials are asking people not to panic, they are working hard to maintain peace and order and get the crime rate down. They say it will be easier when their best detective Jake is done filming his television show.
Looking now across Canada, or at least across the street which is as far as I can see out the window, when I was in British Columbia there was a story of a young man killed while trying to break up a fight. The suspect was described as a tall black male................95 percent of the NBA is being held for questioning.
In local sports news, our new AHL team the Ice Caps are off to a strong start in their rookie season. Rumor has it if they keep winning they will change their name to the IceCaps Supreme, okay that's a Canadian joke, my readers in Poland ( I checked the stats, there is one, and I figure there is only one computer in Poland so that makes me huge over there) probably wouldn't get it but I will risk it.
That's all the news for this week, to end this report, I offer to you the "readers" of this diary a viewer feedback question: Is it weird when people who have dealt with stalkers want people to follow them on twitter?(TM HTWAVCBH) Just something to think about, email me your thoughts at fgm1002@gmail.com
