brief update...

a couple of quick things....

got a new fairing piece for my bike. it's installed and the bike almost looks new. just need new bolts and i'm a happy camper. Pics to come.

also decided to put my townhome on the market. Even with capital gains tax i should come out well ahead. looks like i will get that CBR1000RR or a Ducati 999s after all....

did some gardening for the first time. planted some yellow, purple and orange things. the purple things are growing, an orange thing bloomed and well the yellow ones... who knows. I have some pics, i'll post those when i'm not so lazy.

a sad day for canadians

Canada's 'Sad' Beer Calamity

Thursday, April 07, 2005

A beer truck flipped over on a roadway overpass in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Monday, prompting local officials to comment on the tragedy.

"It is sad," Capt. Scott Logan of the Halifax Regional Fire Service told Halifax's Daily News. "Chances are they won't recover any of the beer."

The truck, hauling 46,368 bottles of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale, skidded to a stop against the overpass's guardrail, luckily avoiding a 50-foot plunge down to another road.

The female driver was pulled out of the cab uninjured — "more frazzled than hurt," according to Logan — letting rescuers focus on the calamitous aspects of the disaster.

"I had a tear in my eye, actually, when I was watching it," said police Constable Mark Hobeck. "It was full of beer. We were hoping a Hostess truck full of pretzels would come by, but no such luck."

gotta love canadians.
