     Its the things you see when you are Out and About.  We spotted a rat in the driftwood along the Airpark Walkway. That in itself is no big deal but on the Comox Valley Rants and Raves Facebook page there has been quite a few comments of rats being sighted inside the Whistle Stopping  Pub. Now the Whistle Stop Pub has been around for a long time. The building is old and rats are common in the area. But, there is no excuse for vermin to be present inside a restaurant. Get a couple of cats.

     Chef Blaine's Shuttle Service.
     At 05:00 hrs. I take one of the Loin Fruits into work for 05:00 hrs. Then its taking our student to school for 09:00 hrs. Then back home to pick up the other Loin Fruit  to be in for 10:00 hrs. At 13:30 hrs. it's back to CFB to collect the first Yard Ape. An hour later it's time to start prepping for supper. Toss into this schedule is the transportation of #1 Son to and from his Significant Other who maybe staying at her dad's out in the Wild Wild West. Is it any wonder I haven't had time to enlighten you, my Dear Readers.

     Do you like ribs?
     Southern Bbq?
     There is a place in the VALLEY called Great Island Barbeque on Fitzgerald.  Fantastic food. My buddy Eric and I headed there last night. Sooo Gooood! Ribs, slaw, beans and corn bread. If you haven't been there yet you have to go. I know that I am going back. Even if its just for the corn bread.

     Our Japanese student comes back from being Out In The WEEDS. Well, not really Out In The WEEDS. They were only out at Horne Lake to experience some of BC's wilderness up close and personal. Dirt, bugs, the dark. Must have driven them crazy with worry. Especially with big full moon over the past couple of nights. I wonder if they saw any wildlife? Now, Horne Lake is also accessible by taking Cook Creek road over the mountain and through a couple of canyons. Just for interest sake I have had three or four solid reports of the Big & Hairy kind from the Cook Creek area. I would love to have seen the look on the students faces if they heard on vocalizing from up on the ridge above the camp.

     This weekend will be another busy time at THE WAYWARD INN.  We'll be shuttling the Loin Fruits to work, taking students to venues and trying to maintain some cohesion at home. Should be fun.
