Edmonton City Planners Wanted - No Experience Necessary!
Now I like Edmonton, I lived there a few years, vibrant arts & cultural scene, good university, I have friends and family there. But on a recent trip I was rather confused by some traffic lights.
Hmmm. Can't see what's wrong with this picture? Try this one:
It's the Peek-A-Boo Traffic light? Can you see it now? Apparently in the rush for progress they forgot that people may want to see the traffic lights and signage. It's not so bad now as it's nighttime, but imagine in the day, merely an empty pole, hidden lights and turning sign. All thats missing is the police car waiting to issue you a ticket around the corner.

Anti-Semetic Dog Trainer
Now I figured that my father's baldness was something that was happening with age, and keeping the shaved head was just his way of making the best of a bad situation. Not even a bad situation, really, a bad situation is going bald and wanting desperately to have your hair back and smearing all sorts of quack compounds on your head in the belief that your virility has been undermined. But I sort of took it without question is the point (how easily I get off track), and then I discover this in his house. What is it, you ask? Well, it's a dog chew. Fluffy dog toy the kind they place in buckets in pet stores for dogs to fetch while their owners look proudly on. But, more than that, notice the logo - it's an ANTI-SEMETIC Dog trainer. I'm amazed they haven't been busted for this. My father pleaded ignorance and reassures me that his balding is natural, not part of his joining some neo-nazi cult. I kinda have to believe him. But I wonder if they have these toys in other flavours, sort of like Jesus Squeakers, or the Latter Day Saints chews . . .
