Strange Happenings in the Suburbs

There is something to be said for living in the sticks...There are times when one comes across those who are a bit on the...let's say, eccentric side (for lack of a better word). So, let me begin with my tale which is nothing short of interesting. So being a full-time student one spends considerable amounts of time at home, you know, studying, reading and sometimes just plainly screwing the pooch. Well, today just happens to be one of those days that I have dedicated to studying. As I'm peacefully trying to focus on my readings, I hear this scraping noise coming from outside. So I (who have turned out to be the nosey neighbour) look out the window and lo and behold I find that my neighbour is plowing the street, which by the way has NO SNOW! So in my mere facination, I decide to continue to watch cuz I could have sworn he was going to ram into someone's home. He must have gone up and down the street three times and then parked on his driveway. I couldn't help but laugh to myself in amazment at how weird this situation was. Was I the only one seeing this? WOuld anyone believe me? I think he was drunk! In fact, he has been known to be a bit of a drinker and the police have been at his house a few times in the past. So is my hypothesis correct? I'll never know. But what I do know is that it was shere entertainment for yours truly as I had to share it with all of you. Well, you're probably wondering what is the f*^&$# point to Geri telling us this story. Well my friends, it's not because I'm going nuts or bored, but it's for those of you who may think that there's no action going on outside the boundaries of Toronto-here in the boons we are indeed full of life. Next time you're visiting a friend north, east, or west of Toronto keep an eye out for those fun people that will entertain you by doing something really out of the "norm".
