Wednesday Morning Musings, No Booze Strike Yet Edition

Happy Hump Day everyone.

Wednesday is here, day 3 of the City of Toronto strike meaning no garbage pick-up. But, on the bright side, the LCBO employees have opted not to strike as long as contract talks continue to progress in good faith.

Yesterday in Ontario over $17 million worth of alcohol was sold. Reports show that a regular busy day in June would usually pull in around $7 million. That’s a whole lot of booze people. I think that everyone should thank their local pub and bar owner for stocking up just in case the strike went down so that you wouldn’t have to be without a rye and Coke.

Speaking of rye and Coke. Today is the day. Romeo’s birthday has reached us and that means he will be birthday drunk. If you’ve never experienced birthday drunk and you’re in Ottawa tonight, take a walk down Queen Street and listen for the sounds of party.

Happy birthday buddy. I wish you many bananas and much bacon.

Hopeful feelings of E-ve getting better are going out strong this morning. The weather is not helping with current conditions.

The Blue Jays had a big win last night against hometown boy Joey Votto and the Reds. It was a good thing that we built an early lead as the bullpen didn’t exactly inspire confidence in the fans with their effort.

I’m getting hungry and it bothers me. I used to be able to sit here and not need or even want to eat until late in the afternoon, and now I feel like a 17 year old again wanting to eat all the time. Not cool body, not cool.

There are some big paving and cement pouring pieces of equipment in front of the store right now and the country kid in me really wants to jump in the driver seat to see what it can do.

Yesterday the Hockey Hall of Fame announced its’ induction class. Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille and Brian Leetch will join the many legends of the game after long successful careers.

Time to go folks. There is work to be done and food to be eaten. Later days.

Like wham!
