Thursday August 27, 2026

This morning I watched 2 crack-heads obviously inspecting and divvying up the spoils of a robbery beside the church, and I had a birds-eye view. After debating with myself for about 20 minutes, I decided to call 911 and gave details, descriptions, and my info (reluctantly)... and then repeated it all to the police. Then I waited... and took a few pictures... and waited some more... 1/2 hour later the 2 guys packed up, one going East with two loaded garbage bags and the other went West to an apartment parking lot.. I watched for another 1/2 hour, and still no police showed up, nor did any call me for more information.

In the afternoon I decided to file a complaint with the Police Commission about the obvious ridiculous lack of response. That was 2 hours ago and still nothing..... I was handing them thieves on a platter and they could not be bothered to even show up... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Then, with the weather being 31C again with bright sunshine, I decided to forego cooking and went to The Common for the Thursday $12.99 fish'n'chip special.... The servers all know me by now...

If it does not cloud over and maybe rain, I intend to try to capture the full moon and partial full eclipse tonight.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

Monday, I needed to act to use that $50 Esso gas gift card before the gas prices are supposed to notch up another 10c.... I drove to the northwest part of the city just to save 4c/litre, silly me.... And $50 didn't even give me 1/2 a tank... Grrrrrrrrrrrr

So I came back and jumped on the Gio to return 6 books to the Library, without picking up any more... I needed to wait a few more days to get the first of the John Sandford "Prey" series before putting more on hold.

Then, I got ambitious in the afternoon and did my laundry, which I have been putting off for eons.... That is the beauty of having so darn many clothes at my disposal, plus stretching out the use of each if I have done nothing strenuous, ....which is most days, lol....

Tuesday I did nothing of note, according to my calendar...

Today, 31C and sunshine, so I just had to get my butt in gear and get out to smell the flowers, along with the bees, who were active in the 3 locations I stopped. Gotta love good nature at work.

Then I continued to On The Rocks for Wednesday Wings, and a beer special. Since I was alone, I just sat at the bar and watched the Blue Jays game, which has just completed and we won 3-0!!

The wings, unfortunately, had very little spicing this time and I was not impressed...

The whole week is supposed to be gorgeous, with 31C again tomorrow. My buddy Igor fromSerbia/Thailand is presently enjoying our Sunshine Coast in BC.... Our country is so beautiful.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
