Euthanize it!

That was Rick's advice for council in regards to the animal control by-law coming before council, yet again, tomorrow. I don't even know what to say about it. Even though it provides endless amounts of talk on the Hotline, I'm just so sick of hearing about it. I'm totally with Dawn when she talks about the sane plan of trapping cats, fixing them, and then letting them go. I'm kind of scared about a city overrun with rats, aren't you?

I think I may head out to one of the meetings for the Mayor's roundtable on violence. Peter Kelly is calling on us to come out and talk about the issues. It will be interesting to see what the turnout is like, but more importantly, what is being done about crime after the fact.

So, Rick and Linda Mosher got their wires crossed and Linda couldn't come into the studio today with Pat Murphy. We made a quick call to the very accessible Dawn Sloane who got to the studio from City Hall and spent the hour with us talking about mainly traffic issues. It was a good hour, I'm just so glad Patrick didn't come wearing his spandex like he did last time. He's in pretty good shape, but seriously, spandex is appropriate for the gym only!!!!

I've driven on the new Windsor street exchange and I agree with Patrick - it's very dangerous as people are speeding down 4 lanes of traffic into 2. I just don't get this city. Why aren't there more advance greens and road signs??

I heard a commercial during the Hotline today and it really grabbed me. It's something called "Operation Christmas Child" and you get a shoe box and they send it overseas to a needy child for Christmas. I think I'm definitely going to do it!

Well, how about this weather?? I'M LOVING IT! What a cost savings not to have to turn on your heat - which is something I'm refusing to do until at least November 1st.

Have an excellent Monday!
