Moments like that do tend to blaringly remind us that life is fragile, not to be taken for granted but appreciated and enjoyed - and the same can be said for love. I hope you are well recovered!DianeSShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150887037190738569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-74637080652947959132010-07-03T16:22:23.470-07:002010-07-03T16:22:23.470-07:00Vince: I just thought I would let some summer bre...Vince: I just thought I would let some summer breezes in to my blog through this 'picture window' template :) <br />The Federal Dominion of Canada was formed on July 1, 1867 out of four seperate British Colonies in Eastern Canada. Basically the idea of a unified coast to coast nation, aided largely by the building of the railway was born. Vancouver Island joined 'Confederation' in 1866, But the rest of BC did not join until 1871. So you might just say, "Happy Birthday Big Fella!"Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-71991879528039133122010-07-03T07:02:54.785-07:002010-07-03T07:02:54.785-07:00And I don't have any idea how to address your ...And I don't have any idea how to address your Canada day.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-32501433553704645982010-07-03T06:54:09.243-07:002010-07-03T06:54:09.243-07:00LOL, at least my hubris about nailing theses to wa...LOL, at least my hubris about nailing theses to walls or doors is matched by your attempt to skywrite. :-DVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-58851295075370913452010-07-02T20:05:39.907-07:002010-07-02T20:05:39.907-07:00E.P.

We've also had some terrible (and fatal) accidents around here in the last couple of years and that makes everyone a bit jumpy.

I love to bike but consider myself more and more vulnerable on it. It just takes one careless act on the part of a driver (or biker) and mortal injuries could result. I can see why you were so worked up after the incident.Paul Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836602667355512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-3357691100065144472010-07-01T07:45:44.821-07:002010-07-01T07:45:44.821-07:00Hello friends.

Thanks for listening (reading) and commenting!<br /><br />Vince: You are right about that. I think marriage could well come under that heading :) <br /><br />Al: Well, I suppose this blog is a diary of sorts. Will that do? Hope you've recovered from your shock - my Emma is a reasonable girl, though she did tell her dad, in typical teenage fashion that I was 'totally freaking out' and she was 'kind of embarrassed'. <br /><br />Tracey: There are an awful lot of kids like him around here - and it's a problem because this area used to be so rural and is becoming increasingly citified, but the population doesn't really see it that way, so they lack city street smarts.Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-38241246628776122402010-06-30T20:59:48.462-07:002010-06-30T20:59:48.462-07:00Oh my!
