I like to take note of local events and activities. Summerfolk's an obvious one. But Sauble Beach is a fun destination in the summer. Too bad it was somewhat mired in this parking fee controversy this year. I'm not so sure it was something that would cause any negative impact. It certainly didn't this past Labour Day. Anyway, it's not a problem for me because I park a block away from the beachfront where it's free (for now, anyway), cause that's the kind of cheap @*%#^! I am.
I love pipes and drums.... well a few minutes of them anyway. So I am not putting them down. So before you go hiring some Scottish hit squad, I'm just saying the animal population probably doesn't share our enthusiasm.
And as far as the annual Salmon Spectacular is concerned let me say that I'm not a fishing person by any means, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve my attention and a little shot of publicity and if I can use it to take a well deserved shot at a certain politician who has been severly abusing the postal privileges at tax payer expense lately. Don't worry, Larry, I'm not going to mention any names.... whoops.
Just a variety pack of cartoons on a couple of recent issues in Owen Sound, and also a little fun with the newspaper's readers choice awards. I'm sure that one will strike a chord with a few parents. (By the way, I find the category of funeral home a tad weird. What???... are there people going around trying out different ones. I guess many of us have done visitations, unfortunately... you know what I mean.... but are we really making notes and comparing... what makes one better than the other... more comfy chairs, better coffee?? I don't mean to be offensive.... I deeply respect the services provided by funeral homes... but should this be a category for readers choice. Couldn't we have had favourite pool hall, or favourite fry wagon instead???
