Day two-hundred-seven

It's Saturday, so I get to post this early today.

I went to my friend Aaron's new house to help with the painting. I basically finished a room that was pretty much already done, but ended some touching up. Hopefully, things will get done over there soon. I really won't be able to help again until next weekend.

Mom and Dad's friend Beverly has come over for the weekend. This is the first time I've seen her in several years. She'll be going to church with us tomorrow. She actually first brought Mom to our church in the 1970s, and that's where Mom first met Dad. So, she's a pretty important person for my mom and dad. For me and my brother and sisters, too, I guess.

I've recently been turned onto a Twitter feed called Scan BC, which is basically a Canadian fire department/police scanner feed. The majority of the tweets are usually describing serious incidents, but every so often, there comes along a few that are funny and sometimes bizarre. For example:

-  Vancouver police responding to Howe St & W Cordova St for a person openly urinating inside a business

- North Vancouver RCMP are on scene 600 St Ives Crescent with a bear in a house. Conservation Officers responding.

- Vancouver Police are responding to the Liquor store at 3400 Kingsway after a male filled up a shopping cart with liquor and fled.

- Duncan Fire is responding to a residence to assist a person with their hand caught in the engine of a car.

- Kamloops RCMP are responding to Carson Dr after someone broke house window and started spraying bear mace in the house. Fled on foot.

- Vancouver fire dept. attended to an automatic alarm occupant of residence had burnt cornbread in the oven. No damage.

- Kamloops crews are on scene with a pedestrian struck by a vehicle outside of the Kamloops Hospital ER entrance.

I don't have a Twitter account nor do I follow anyone. It's just that sometimes, you can find oddball and unexpected things if you know where to look. Also, the best and weirdest stuff is always what's real.
