are you freaking kidding me?

ok, i knew i lived in a relatively small town but i thought i lived in a relatively small town in CANANDA not the self-important US of A...

on the way home from work today, crossing one of the few and very busy (especially during 'rush hour' AND on a friday) bridges across the highway there were several cars and even a fire truck blocking a lane of the bridge! accident? no... nothing as serious as that. they were all out standing and waving at traffic with giant canadian flags...

it has something to do the renaming of of portions of the 401 as 'highway of heroes' and welcoming soldiers home. i mean yay for our brave soldiers but is something like that really necessary? do we really want to be as fanatic about that sort of thing as the crazies south of the border?

on another yet related topic, what's the deal with the highway exits around here?? why do they dump out on the less populated side of the highway? you know, the side of the highway where there is mostly lake? so that a majority of the people who exit the highway have to one of the 3 bridges (only 3!) that cross and at home time they're always packed! stupid, stupid, STUPID!

and on top of everything, i had to see a dead bird on the way home. not like a splattered one, which is for some reason less appaling, but a whole one! just lying there in the middle of the road. and i'm all like what's that thing in the middle of the road? and i look closer and then it was like eep! omg that's a bird!
