A booty call and it's snow fun.

So you fancy yourself an athlete? I resemble that thought. Not the athlete but perhaps I do fancy myself up for athletics. I find myself trying to match my wardrobe when I prepare for training. Joy, I know what you are thinking "What the hell possessed you to combine THAT together AND go out in public?!?" Perhaps she is not truly injured but rather can't support the thoughts of being seen with me in public on the Saturday morning trot. I knew it wouldn't take much to figure her out!

The weather has been far too nice these last few weeks to keep doing the same loop. Let's shake it up a bit and visit Glenmore Landing and the reservoir loop. There will be some ice action in the Weaselhead but for the most part it should be good. See you at the McDonald's at 9 am.

I am always attempting to find the next best shoe for my lovely bride. Yesterday I found a lovely one that she says she wants me to get when I head to Rome in two weeks. I think she REALLY means she wants to dig in the garden with me!
Will Sadie be confused with all those Westies running around?

I will not be around but...

What could be more fun than a run in the sun on snow?

A rant for you...

I heard a story about Earls and the fact they no longer will serve Albino Rhino beer. The title offends those with Albinism. Not sure if that community researched that the Albino Rhino is named after the white Rhinoceros. I do sympathize with their plight but do think we are so politically correct that it makes our politicians look efficient and responsible in comparison.

It is like school and playground zones. On 16th Avenue I pass a school every day going mach 3 (ish) which is legal speed. Really, it is! The only thing protecting the kids is a five foot fence (it could be six foot but I keep my eyes on the road!). In my neighborhood we have the same fence, a overhead lit crosswalk at one end, an intersection with control lights at the other, and not only a school zone but a playground zone all within 300 metres. How come on 16 avenue semi's and monster trucks can cruise freely while on my dead end street we have to look down at our watches to understand which zone is in effect, and then look to the big glowing sun to figure out the end time?

I do know it is to protect the kids but the best part is the daycare at the one end. Every day I see the parents parking as close to the front door to get their kids. It so happens to do this they park in the intersection and in front of the stop sign. While their kid will be safe not having to walk the sidewalk 30 feet to their car the rest of civilization will have to swerve from the vehicle unable to see the stop sign and driving straight into others' right of way.

Rant done.
