Smartie's Bar & Grill

All the nuts aren't in asylums, it appears! I hope the guy was just drunk and not mental, though. Drunks I can deal with, but I'm half afraid to even go to the mall these days. I find I'm shopping more on line, but that doesn't help the businesses in the mall. :no:

I was glad they didn't shoot him. Didnt seem like a psycho, but he was recently divorced, then got an eviction notice yesterday morning that sent him over the edge. Certainly not an excuse, but a good reason why not everybody should own a gun.

 

[Fearandloathing]

Some guy in nearby apts twisted off and started shooting yesterday morning. Wasnt really that close to us, but we were advised to stay inside til it was over and all the museums around us were put in lock down so people wouldn't be wandering out.

They captured him without incident and thus ended our excitement for the day.

That is what we in TV news used to call a 'good' war story. SWAT and guns and flashing lights and sirens and people staring excitedly out of windows and you need only write a script redundantly describing what people are seeing. It's kind of like a day off for a reporter....and no one dies.

It appears we are on a crime wave. It is only March and there has been one gang related murder in downtown Vancouver, and what appears to have been a stabbing in a domestic dispute in suburban Burnaby. Two dead of violence in two and a half months in a region of one and a half million is a crime wave and the fact one of them involed a gun is noteworthy.

The weather man at Environment Canada....no longer JUST a weather service but guarding the Great White North against threats foreign and invented....has lied. The rain has stopped and it is sunny today. This is an outrage! How can one plan, dress accordingly when we have no idea what the weather is going to be! This is Canada! This will NOT be tolerated. Someone MUST be given a very server scolding this instant.

Wait.

There is a new dusting of snow on the north shore mountains. It is going up to near 70 today. And with the sun out early even the fashion challenged women of Vancouver will make walking downtown very interesting.

OK, maybe just a scolding, and leave out the severe part. The guy was probably French anyway and you can't get severe with them, the leave.

Fishin'????? Only fishnets I best see at night are on some wimmens in heels. Alright.....I will accept boots. Oh.....I guess I can accept no shoes at all too. :lol:

The Chevy Corvette car and speedboat hybrid might be the slickest amphibious vehicle on the planet, but when it comes to campers, nothing compares to the luxury the Elemment Palazzo offers. The mere mention of campers and RVs invokes images of cramped living quarters that can house only your essentials. But the Elemment Palazzo with its lavish fixture and ornate designs obliterates that notion completely. As it should, what with a coronary-inducing price tag of $3 million.

Master bedroom with an adjoining bathroom? Check. Leather interior? Check. Rainfall shower, fireplace, and 40" TVs? Check, check, check.

The 20-ton Palazzo can reach speeds of 93 mph, and uses 20% less fuel than vehicles of comparable size due to its aerodynamic design.....snip~

$3 million luxury camper is a 40

Sweet!
But If I purchased one, it wouldn't be the bus type. I would go for the trailer camper style. They have those extendable rooms on the sides for more space. Once you get to your destination, you unhitch the trailer freeing up your truck to gallivant around in without dragging your home with you. You often see the big bus types pulling little cars, but little cars limit the access to where you can go in rough terrain.
And what's wrong with fishing? I love to fish. I'll catch em. Someone else has to clean them.

Sometimes, you have to assume somebody borrowed someone else's car.

While driving in to work this morning, a sports car in front of me had this bumper sticker:

Does this car make my butt look big?

The guy driving it had to be 80 if he were a day....... :lamo

 

[vesper]

Been up since 5:00, hit the floor running and have got a lot done. But it's just now 9:00 and I'm ready for a nap.

 

[Smartmouthwoman]

Mornin, y'all.

Yeah, I've got the same syndrome today. Walked in with both a travel mug AND a thermos of coffee. Gonna be a two fisted drinking day for sure.

Made it thru yesterday...

 

[MMC]

I can't believe these guy are calling for more Snow Saturday in NW Indiana.....possible, could be, might be. Could be isolated. Lake effect or a squall. Its suppose to be 40s during the day. Enough is enough.

I am returning this afternoon from a two-day business trip to Atlanta. Temps in Atlanta are supposed to be in the 60s today. Please tell me why I am returning to NE Ohio...? Oh, now I remember...that's where I live, if you call constant snow and cold for months and months "living."

Gretings, MMC. :2wave:

Why don't you stay a few days Polgara? You have snow and rain mixed in the forcast for the next couple of days. I'm fortunate that I get a pass on the snow this time around. Safe trip home!

I wasn't the one paying the bills for my participation, or I might have stayed longer. I went on a company-owned jet, so I didn't have to worry about showing up an hour early to get fondled by strangers on either leg of the trip. :lol: I did get a short tour of the Atlanta Underground this morning, though. Fascinating that there's a complete city under Atlanta! Maybe I'll go back one day. We have a sleety rain coming down now, so I'm glad I'm home.

Greetings, Vesper. :2wave:

 

[Smartmouthwoman]

Glad you made it home safely, sweetie. I LUV the Gone With The Wind Museum in Atlanta. Lifesize cutout of Rhett Butler? *swoon*

Uh oh. Heard Ole Trace's wife filed for divorce on him today... maybe that country boy loved them ladies back?
