I heard on the news this morning that a firefighter in Winnipeg was caught kissing a woman, while on duty, and was promptly suspended AND demoted. Really? The sad thing is, he could have done something far worse and would have probably received the same punishment. I had to laugh. The most mundane things seem to make headlines these days.
Speaking of mundane headlines, how about The Carillon? Sometimes I really have to wonder. Kelvin Goertzen made the front page a couple years back because he got a haircut. WOO! Go Kelvin! Go Kelvin! ...Please. And those little blurbs about the different communities in the area! HA! "Peter and Mary went to Ziegfeld last week to meet with their brother's uncle's sister's daughter who was here for her grandfather's funeral. They had a good time." I feel so much better now that I know that!
In other news...
There was an assault on a woman in Steinbach on Monday on Barkman Ave. I know quite a few people that live on that street - plus, there is an elementary school there! It scares me. 3 men, aged 20-25 struck this poor woman to the ground, punched her, kicked her and sexually assaulted her before being scared off by a car that was passing by. Thankfully the woman is okay and was able to run away and call for help. Yikes. Won't be walking by myself in the dark anytime soon.
Paula Abdul is no longer going to appear as a judge on American Idol. How's that for some useless 4-1-1?
Joke of the day:
A lady is walking down the street to work and sees a parrot in a pet store. She stops to admire the bird. The bird says to her, "Hey lady. You're really ugly."
The lady is furious! She storms past the bird and continues on her way to work. On her way home, she sees the same parrot in the window and upon seeing her the parrot says, "Hey lady. You're really ugly."
The next day, on her way to work, the same thing happened. She walked by, and once again the parrot squawked at her, "Hey lady. You're really ugly."
The lady was so furious that she stormed into the store and threatened the manager that she was going to sue the store if that bird kept telling her she was ugly. The store manager apologized profusely and said that it wouldn't happen again.
The next day when the lady walked past the store, the parrot said to her, "Hey lady."
The lady paused, scowled with an icy and deadly stare and said with a hoarse voice, "Yes?"
The bird, strutting back and forth in a cocky manner said,
"You know."

Hey, that was a pretty sharp looking haircut! But yeah, you're right, front page probably was a bit of overkill. ;)
Good luck with the 9 month old. Our son just turned 3 this week and those early years are blesssed times.
