Trouble in Paradise......or

' Hobbit Fans Angry at Reviews , All not well in MiddleEarth ' - Sympatico News ticker.
Nope didn't read the story. You can guess.
Correction from ' Knock'em down ... ' blog. Make that 9 hits in 43 min. You got it 9 people were hit by cars in under an hour. Mommy and baby carriage too. The pundits blame the rain, the earlier darkness, dark clothing , hoods and distractions.
Last night,  a mother w/ child in arms and a walking child got nailed at a pedestrian x-walk.

I was imagining as in the movie ' Contact ' w/ Jodie Foster. The telecommunications of the earth are going out into space, travelling at the speed of light.
So, in fifteen billion light years, some alien is watching our media thinking Kim Kardashian  or her mother rule the United States.
Or that Britney Spears controls the police. Or ' Bradgelina ' is an adoption agency. 

Geethali ' Norah Jones ' Shankar greaves the loss of her father. Condolences.

In T.O., there is a roadway called the Gardiner Xpressway. Bits have been falling from the o/head road to the Lakeshore Blvd below. Both roads carry high volumes of cars, the GX probably more. By bits , the engineers mean chunks of concrete.
 If you catch a piece of concrete in your hands as it falls, it is rumoured you will have good luck for 20 years. These 20 years are the twenty you got b/c the concrete didn't do in your head.  ( kidding )

The controversy got heightened when a engineer's report was translated into a ' Mayor's office ' memo ' that the people need to be re-assured that the Xpressway is safe '. Now, of course, the questions are coming thick and fast ' Who knew what and when ' apparently there was no ' how ' involved yet,  but they got in the other standard question words.
Neat. I learned words such as ' punch through '. This term means that workers can see the Lakeshore Blvd. underneath if you disturb the roadway above. One anecdotal report said the crew used their hands and got 'punch through ' more like ' finger through ' don't you think.

Our weather doesn't bespeak Xmas. Grass is mostly green. No snow  that lasted ( more icing sugar than snow ). Weather boy is dressed but the arrow is going up so it will probably remain clear to-day. Bright out and looks to be blue.
