Another Rant

A new supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh.
When it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.
When you approach the dairy case, you hear cows mooing and smell fresh mown hay.
When you near the egg case, you hear hens clucking and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon frying.
The snack department features the smell of fresh buttered popcorn.
I don't buy toilet paper there anymore.

I just learned that the Lunenburg High School built in 1965, 20 miles from the home where I grew up was just demolished. I sang in the Kiwanis Music Festival there in my last year in high school during its first year in operation. Seems as an afterthought it was decided to check through the rubble for the time capsule that was placed in the cornerstone when the place was built. The high school kids are now bused 14 miles to another high school.

Speaking of text messages several Toronto Transit Commission Drivers have been fired for texting while driving. And in the news today comes word that a driver in Montreal was clocked doing 240 Km/Hr or 150 mph for those in America.
