What the hell is that?

     At about 13:00 hrs today I was absolutely stunned at the sight of this glowing ball traversing the horizon towards the Beauforts. It was something that has not been seen in over the Valley in several weeks. Things are certainly starting to get better here while my Outlaws in the Golden Horseshoe are experiencing a shitload of the white stuff and temps of -20°C like those on the Bald Prairie. Looks good on them.

     The end of a full work week will soon be over. Maybe I'll be able to finally take down the Christmas lights at the Wayward Inn. Yup, they are still up. The weather was the deciding factor on their removal. Ladders are not steady when placed on ice.

     Chef Blaine had an epiphany. Bacon salt! You can purchase all kinds of flavoured salts - coffee, Sriracha, ghost pepper and others - but is there such a thing as bacon salt? Turns out there is but he found a recipe and has made an attempt. It's not bad. Just three ingredients. Bacon, salt and pepper. What could go wrong?

     Yesterday was the Sage's birthday. She was getting so many calls from well wishers that she called me! My Better Half and I played hookey and deeked out to River City on a date. We spotted some interesting new rabbit hutches being built all along the shoreline. The rental rates are just as expensive there as they are here in the Valley. If you have ever driven up there you will know about the massive Left Coast designed house sitting just outside of town. My Lobster took a look on the provincial property assessment site and that particular house has four bedrooms,  six bathrooms, the main floor is 5,000 square feet with 1,400 on the second floor and is valued at 4.million. The cleaning minions must live on the upper floor.

     I have been very busy with work the past few weeks so very little of the next book's rough draft has been scribbled out. I'm hoping to get some done today. 

     We have a new addition to the Wayward Inn. A new LG refrigerator. The previous one had been in place since we moved in and we were having some issues with it. A qualified repair dude had replaced a couple of parts but other issues began to appear. When the big holiday sales were on we went to Home Despot and picked one out. 

     The Oma-nator is still hanging in there. We took her on a road trip to Hub City to see the Onion, who is in residence for her studies. It was a good to drive The Ram on a road trip and listen to the Hemi purr along. 

     There was a major raid on four Island locations carried out by the the Queens's Cowboys. Six people, related to The Angel's, were taken into custody. Evidence collected included large quantities of illicit drugs, weapons and monies. Two of the locations raided were here in The Valley.

     Have you heard of the big truck rally driving from the Left Coast all the way to the Nation's Capital? They're protesting the vaccine mandate imposed by the government when crossing the border into the Hugh-ess and they want it stopped. The problem is that I don't have time nor the crayons to explain to these idiots that it is the Hugh-ess that is demanding that they be vaccinated. One of the organizers of the rally has stated that anyone attending or participating who is violent or who is advocating a Hugh-ess type Jan 6th Insurrection will be outed and reported to the police.

     The fog is still with us. A swirling grey soup that thins or thickens within seconds causing vehicles to appear and disappear right before your eyes. This also means you are slipping in and out of view. Turn on your headlights Kidlettes. Even in the daytime. Be seen and be safe!

     One last bit. Last Friday two Canucks were gunned down in a resort in the Big Chili Pepper. As it turns out they were whacked for welching on a drug deal. Go figure.
