Here’s another blog to read, if you just can’t get enough of reading about other people’s guide dog training experiences. Jenny has decided she wants to recap both her training experiences she had with her previous guides, and talk about the process she’s going through to prepare for guide dog no. 3. There isn’t much …

Mr. Lorenzo’s Oil Has Been Sentenced
Remember Nicholas Lorenzo? The guy at the Safeway who was showin’ off a little non-deli meat? Well, he’s been sentenced. Five years of probation, sex offender treatment, and 48 hours of community service. Just don’t have him making sandwiches during that time. I admit I’ve never been struck by the urge to play with myself …

Thirty-six Years Old Is Too Young
It’s news like this that makes me sit back and think about life. I just got a call from my dad to say that Robert Mask, one of my brother’s best friends and a kid we grew up with, passed away. He was playing hockey, and then he was gone. He was 36, and has …
It’s A Wing. Don’t Fly Off The Handle.
People are nuts. There’s a restaurant called Big Shot Bob’s that sells 100 flavours of wings. Apparently, somebody saw the black on black crime flavour, and lost it.

I Hate To Split Hairs, But This Ain’t A Splitter!
Remember when I was ragging on HumanWare and I said I was afraid the power-splitter would arrive sans end? Well, yesterday, my fears were realized.

Kindling Fear On The Bus
Hey there Lahcen Qouchbane. When you’re driving a bus, your eyes and concentration are supposed to be on the road, not on a Kindle. Read when you’re not driving a large bus full of people through morning traffic, thank ya very much. I guess someone took the cell phone video, at which point the driver …
The Man Has No Chance, The Parrot Will Talk
Damn it I wish I had a name on this guy who was shaking the hell out of a parrot. I have to wonder if it’s Jim Eggers and the parrot was his service bird. I’m sorry, that was mean. Or maybe the bird was one of those lookout birds. Either way, the poor bird. …

What Would They Do With A Phone Or A TV?
I saw something that made me chuckle yesterday. I was coming home from picking up some stuff downtown. As I approached the door of our building, I heard the buzzer pad’s dial tone coming on and off, on and off. I thought “Oh boy, we have some poor souls who don’t know how to work …
Mommy, What’s The Hurry?
I wonder how many times Erica Fay Anderson has robbed a bank. I mean, she managed to rob the bank, then pick up her kids from school. Unfortunately for her, someone described her car and got her plate number, and police were waiting for her when she came home with her little girls. It looks …
