So last night I did wander down for the start of the Recovery Day late day festivities at the downtown Day'O'Min Park, where they were promising music and activities. I did not realize that this would again be run by the indigenous population, so , again, nothing was happening, to speak of, because they are always on "Indian Time".... So I contented myself to take a few shots and return home to watch football and baseball.
The Blew Jays are again in fine form to miss the playoffs after a lacklustre season with substandard coaching and sloppy play and faltering pitchers... My Stampeders blundered their way to win on a 62-yard field goal on the last play, against the worst team in the league, Ottawa, who are 0 - 13....
My Oilers, mostly rookies who looked really good, beat the Jets, so we may actually have something to cheer for again. Hopefully the new taskmaster coach will whip them into shape and restore their pride....
Today, I saw there was a "Kaleido Family Arts Festival" up in Alberta Avenue where I lived 1977-1979. They had many things happening and people were enjoying the balmy 26C sunny day. The classic car "Show & Shine" was great, and they had a sidestreet garage sale where I found a couple of items to bring home, especially a baseball glove and softball, and a very large cover to hopefully fit my largest frypan.
On the way back I decided to try my coupons at Popeye's Louisianna Chicken and opted for a spicy chicken sandwich, cajun fries, and a Sprite. It was only my second time there ever,.. and this meal will make me come back!
There was some "excitement" this week when I was told on Friday that my evicted friend Don had died on Wednesday... The story went round and round, then was disputed by Felix who claimed that he spoke to Don yesterday morning! So the new story went round and round, debunking the old... My calls to Don himself were ignored....
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
