Canada surprised everyone at the World Cup soccer last evening, clobbering Qatar 6-0. Two of the Qatar squad were ejected for dirty plays, one breaking our Ismael Kones leg in 2 places. The score serves them right! It has been a very long time since Canada has scored a bunch, and it is the first time a CONCACAF squad has scored 6 goals at the World Cup! Congrats to the Canadian squad!
Since today is the only nice day in what seems like forever, ... I decided to make use of it for an outing to Gibbons to visit my old buddy Ken Johnston (KJ). He is turning 88 in 9 days and I wanted to take him for a nice lunch. We went to Fort Saskatchewan and he decided on a Tim Horton's chicken sandwich. This is because his teeth don't fit so he has to gum his food, poor guy.
KJ has been a good buddy for many years and still gets around, with one good eye and no socks... He is a character and today I actually heard a few new stories. I am glad that I went out...
Saw a couple of coyotes in a field too.
Now, I said that the day was nice,.. and it was... everywhere except under the one storm cloud over Fort Saskatchewan, lol... We just waited it out.
I had ordered off a Facebook Sponsored Ad, 3 bone induction hearing aids. As soon as I got the shipping notice, I knew they were only sending 2... and no amount of emails to their supposed customer service changed that... Of course they came from China, as does almost everything advertised on Facebook, and I hoped this experience would be different.... but no dice... Even the packaging says they are only "sports wireless headset"!!! They are great for Bluetooth music and answering the phone, but I doubt there will be any difference for hearing... The testing has begun...
Blogger seems to have corrected itself..... Finally!!
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
