Welcome to Thursday, the day before Friday, which is the day before we leave for America to see many members of my in-law family. Here are a few tidbits floating around the news this morning: – The video caught by a witness to the tasering of a man at YVR earlier this month has been [...]

I have written about the Pattullo Bridge at length, well at least I think so as I have numerous posts over the last year on the topic of the Bridge of Death [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The bridge that has caused the death of 21 people since 1990 is being talked about again, as apparently every 6 months [...]

There was another accident this morning and although I no longer have to drive across it every day, the news is always painful. I’ve blogged about the [...]
