Walking Around....

... by Freebooter

Spring is in the air... sidewalks are finally clearing up.... looks like some people don't stoop to scoop.... too dangerous to walk on the roads.... unless you are in a group of joggers... safety in numbers I guess... people don't pay attention driving these days... those cell phones... who are they calling.... maybe the mayor to fix all those potholes....

Flood season will soon be upon us... happens every year about this time... good thing the time is changing so we can watch the water rise... hope the city helps fund the Regent St. wharf this year... where else are we going to park our yachts... maybe they should consider parking meters for boats... make the fat cats pay like the rest of us...

Lots of money being spent downtown... new convention center... must try that new escalator... new Liquor Store opening up downtown... just in time for St. Patrick's Day... downtown not like it used to be... can't even buy a good cigar anymore... everybody is in such a hurry to get their coffee on the way to work... whatever happened to the office coffee pot...
Daylight savings time is here... what are we saving it for... maybe so we can stay up late and do our taxes... a sure sign of spring... gas prices on the rise again...  guess walking around is still the best way...

What a lot to contend with ... just read one thing that got you thinking and it was followed by a whole new train of thought!! Yeh, getting coffee at work seems to be a thing of the past doesn't it? I never really thought about it until now!Thanks for giving me so much to think about:)
