We are coming along quite well with Devon's apt, got all the plumbing roughed in and will soon have the wiring finished.
Devon and Scott insulated the walls this week.

This weekend we hope to get the drywall in, or must of it.

Fortunately for us Devon doesn't want a hot tub. (just kidding, Homee Dad)

Got to go and get started. ( not on the hot tub)

Is This Canadian Mentality

This weekend a group of 10 Korean tourists in a van with 7 seat belts drove in front of a
transport truck, many were injured some were killed including a small child, which is important to emphasis.

The reporters, the man on the street intreviews, the police and McGuinty's ( for cam's benefit) highway minister weren't too concerned about the fact that the driver of the van drove into the path of the transport and caused the collision but were concerned that there were more people in the van than seat belts, and all thought that the law must be changed, presumably so that only 7 people would be involved in the collision, Then things would be OK.

McGuinty is on record as saying regarding using a well phone while driving shouldn't have to be stopped, people should use good judgement. I guess that good judgement doesn't apply in the above.

Today I received a message from Homee Dad, in it he claimed that I, of all people, admitted that Nick had outsmarted me. I appogize if I created that impression. I was mearly trying to point out that Nick couldn't follow instructions, no matter how specific they are. Based on some minor technicalities he jumped to the conclusion that I had faked a letter. He apparently, having had so much involvement with police now thinks like them. I hope that clears up the matter and clears my good name so that I can sleep tonight.

The preceding message was done from memory of a literary masterpiece which I wrote last week and somehow sucessfully lost sending instead a blank message which 4, count them 4 people commented on, imagine four commenting on nothing.

Curses foiled again by Nick.

Nick received a confidential letter some time in the week of Oct. 2-6, it had very clear instructions from Staff Sgt. Genevieve Gauthier, a recruiting officer Canada National Defence (Me) to call a specific secure phone number in the AM of Oct10/06 regarding his sexual preferrences. The letter was quite clear on the subject.

On Oct. 10/06, Staff Sgt. Genevieve Gauthier (me) waited forhis call, taking time out of a busy schedule. At aproximately 11:40am the postman arrived with a letter at Mrgryper's house. Mrgryper being a very wise man looked at the front of the envelope and immediately knew that Nick had no intention of calling the phone number given to him. I looked at the letter and he accused me of having written a fake letter. He based his thoughts on some flimsey logic.

I was of course quite offended by his accusations and immediately phoned him telling him that I had no idea what his letter was about. Following is his explaination of why he suspected me.

1. He didn't live at this address when he applied to join the army.
2. The government doesn't use white envelopes.
3. It is illegal to ask about sexual preferrences.

All very weak reasons to base his accusations on. The fact is the envelope and the letter head were right out the National Defence web site and I personally witnessed it being down loaded

Naturally I was disturbed by his insinuation that I would stoop to such trickery and I told him so. It was bad enough that he made such wild accusations, but Staff Sgt Genevieve Gauthier (me) sat in all morning with Mrsgryper's cell phone waiting for his call, a call that never came and finding out by mail was just too much to bear.

woe is me.
