Today we saw a bus load full of mounties. They have come for the funeral of one of their own a young 25 year old woman named Robinson (nee West) from Picture Butte. She died in Jasper chasing a drunk driver. She got hit by a semi truck. She had only been on the force 7 months.

We also saw a Hummer on teh side of the street. It's 2 tires feel off! You could see the ripped up pavement were it came to a stop. The lug nuts were scattered blocks back.

Hubby and I went to Visions (they were celebrating a new store opening in Medicine Hat AB.). They are serving free hot dogs & pop for free. So we had to stop. I had just the dog and no bun.

I waited in the car today and people watched while Hubby shopped for his man things. I noticed alot of fat women. Old women, young women & kids with flabby tummies,chubby legs stuffed into too tight jeans (encasing the fat & showing every wrinkled flaw)& people who looked like they had given up and no longer cared what they looked like. We are indeed a nation over weight. It made me more determined to lose weight. People must see me the same way when they are in their cars watching pedestrians.

Hubby had to go to the Hardware store and buy something for the hose. It did not work and he had to go back and return them. I think it was some kind of intake valve regualtor. He was not impressed. He was in a bad mood.

It did not help matters when I spilt my litre bottle of ice tea on his car floor mat. He was showing me a Corvette that went by us on the highway. I talk with my hands and let go of the bottle. Guess I forgot I had it.

I saw a CNN report about a new book called Shift by Peter Arnell. He was 407 in 2001 and now is trim 152 pounds in 30 months. It is about re-inbvnting his self and business. He lived most of his adult life big. The forward is by his freind Martha Stewart. I also read that he eats 30 oranges a day (is that even possible?) and that is why his skin is orange especially his hands. It looks like a good read. I think the premise is that little changes in your life can make a big difference.

Ollie is curled up beside me sleeping and snoring. Order has been restored in my little part of the world.
