Yesterday morning my mother & I went to watch as the olympic flame was carried thru our town.  It was nice to see such an event take place here & for the first time too!  I got flags & free pop from the Coca Cola as they are one of the sponsor's.  The small bottles of pop make nice collectibles.  The flavour was Coca Cola Zero & I found it taste like the old Tab pop - lol!  Does anyone remember Tab - lol?  I don't know if its still being made anywhere but thats what it taste like!   I met one of the torch bear carriers.  Her name is Savanna & she is from Halifax.  She looked liked she was in her early 20's & came all the way here to carry the torch.  She was nice to allow me to get a picture with her.  Since I'm not a torch bearer I might as well get a picture with one - lol!  The high light of the relay was the last torch bearer finishing by the town hall.   I never met the guy but he was impressive!  His name is Duncan MacKeigan.  He is 85 years old & a WW2 vet!  He was in a wheel chair for the first half of his relay & walked the rest of the way!  It was awesome to see one our vets be a part of this terrific event!   To you Mr. MacKeigan I salute you - awesome!!!  It was reported by one of our local radio station's that each torch bearer can buy thier torch for $400.00 after they do thier relay as a keep sake.  Even though i'm not a sports fan it was nice to feel apart of the olympic spirit!  Being on home turf I hope our Canadian athletes bring home the gold in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics!

 

 

Not my dogs because I don't have any pets!

 

Just when I thought I'd seen everything on this street I get a suprise!  It was yesterday between 12pm - 1pm I spotted these 2 locked in position - hehe!  Well at least somebody was getting some action - lol!  My mother was mortified while I just laughed!  You would swear she owned one of the dogs with the way she acted.  Heck she didn't even want anyone to see me take pics of those dogs because she thought people might think I was a perv.  I stopped caring what people think of me a long time ago & if anyone doesn't like me for who I am well then they can all F OFF!  I figured since I didn't have something to blog about I would throw this on here - hehe!  Sorry about the crappy quality.  I have a real crappy digital camera & I used the digital zoom  - pfft!   Two jr high school students were heading back to school when one of them whistled at the dogs & the other one said I should call animal control.  Needless to say I didn't call them - not like they were going to come over here asap - pfft!   Would you want to get in the middle of that if you were an animal control officer - lol?  It was amazing they didn't get killed because they were all over the road.  After they finally got off the road they decided to separate & went on their marry way!
