What would Dr. Seuss have to say if he was a smoker?

I cannot smoke near a narc, I cannot smoke in the park, I cannot smoke 6 meters from a door, I cannot smoke near the beach or its shore, I cannot smoke here or there, I cannot smoke anywhere.

I cannot smoke near a narc,

I cannot smoke in the park,

I cannot smoke 6 meters from a door,

Just witnessed the dog-on-dog attack at Robson and Thurlow. A pit bull/ rotweiller? took out some older ladys little mutt, both on leashes. The fire department happened to be driving by and gave the dog oxygen (nice gesture), but its eyes were open, glazed over and its tongue was hanging out; Im pretty sure it bled out and died. What a scene. People in the crowd wanted the firefighters to arrest the offending dog owners. Crowds can be pretty dumb and no one apparently knows one uniform patch from another. (Learn to read instead of iPoding.) The killer dogs owners appeared to be in shock as well and tried hard to get their dog off the other one during the attack. No go on that one. My heart goes out to the little dogs owner, on her knees, weeping and holding her pooch. Keep these killer/drug/grow-op monsters in your drug dens guarding your stash, not on public streets. They are like a loaded M-16 waiting to go off.

Re: , May 3 WE. Great article. I couldnt agree with you more. Cody always seemed like a good, hardworking, down-to-earth kid. Mike Gillis, on the other hand, is an arrogant, pompous individual. His trades and signings are laughable at best, especially Marco Sturm. I wish Cody all the best in his career.

The Parks Board has figured out a new way to desecrate the Stanley Park Seawalls natural beauty. The entire distance between English Bay and Second Beach now has large boulders grouped in threes at regular intervals. It appears that they have placed in this unnatural configuration for easy umbrella placement, possibly a commercial scheme. Maybe somebody thinks boutique beaches are cute, but I find this alteration highly objectionable!

At about 10am at Oakridge mall, someone intentionally bumped me and called me a moron when I happened to stay on the left side of the hallway. Unknown to this person, I had just avoided three people who were staying on my right side. I did not say anything to them; you were rude indeed! Stay at home or go to another place where there arent many people like a shopping mall.
