Thanks Sonia...I borrowed a few pics off your facebook...thought everyone would like to see my girls!
Soooo, it was kind of a dull day at work, until we heard a big crash outside. I looked up the street but couldn't see anything, except for a Neptune truck, parked next to Wait's news, where it usually unloads it's cargo. I din't see people running or anything,so I went back into the store. two minutes later, a customer came in and said that the Neptune truck actually took out the light standard on the corner at Wait's News.
"Oh-Oh!"
When we looked out , there was the firetruck, the city, the police, and numerous lookie-lous, all staring down at the cross walk ,which now was the landing spot for the beautiful heritage light standard which used to have lovely big white globes hanging off it. Now the globes were knocked off and there lay the black light standard, and there was all the wires sticking oddly out of both the conduit on the sidewalk,and the lamp post base, and then there was a circle of uniformed people from every city department, surrounding the casualty of Neptune. Yep, the light post was down, and here we are, all looking at it like a corpse, wondering what the hell to do next....for the next 45 minutes, it seemed.
They finally brought in a crane and lifted the dead lamp post off the street and onto a truck and then they set up neat little three foot high four way stop signs.And thats how the day went in Nelson...a little amusement for me on a dull day.....
Emil roasted the country spareribs with BBQ sauce and made the slad, so I came home to a yummy smelling house and a dinner ready to eat.. All in all , agood day.
Tonight, Annette wrote her big exam up at UVic...I'll be waiting to hear from her. This is torwards her Canadian Financial Planning certification, that will come after one more exam... Good Luck Annette!
