the days of old...
So yesterday I was filling up my car at the famous 7-11 in Claresholm. To my surprise, it was $1/litre!! I tell ya, gas is going up again and I don't know what I'm gonna do about it. But I was not the only one to notice this tragedy!! As I was filling up, this old man on a bike appeared out of nowhere.Here is our dialogue:
Old Man: (appearing out of the blue) So, are you still going to fill up, even when it costs 2 dollars a litre?
Me: (Jumping a little) Unfortunately, yes, I gotta get home somehow!
Old Man: Terrible, ain't it?!
Me: Sure is.
Old Man: *Chuckles* then rides away.
It was a strange occurance. I think he thought that I should probably be riding a bike and not polluting the air with my expensive gas. But seriously, like I was gonna ride my bike 200kms in the wind with my hamper full of dirty laundry.

Lex, I love the picture of Einstein...so cute. I want to ride a bike when I'm an old geezer. :) Happy Easter!
Alexa, so funny, I love old people! Although it sucks that gas is going up again, oh well what can you do! I have enjoyed reading your blog, can´t wait to see you when we get home! Jer says hello as well, Chao for now. Anya
To answer your question, yes, incredible wit does run in my family, along with striking good looks and untold wealth...well, not entirely true. But two out of three ain't bad.
And gas here is $1.32 a litre. Ack!
I can see the headlines now: "Girl Makes 200 km Bike Journey to Visit Family for the Holiday" and "Cops Find Wind Blown Laundry, Hampa and Exhausted Female in the Ditch Near Fort Macleod"!!
I'm glad you opted for the gas!!!
PS - What are you waitin' for...the birds!!!
