Whole north end by Sears is taped off and a slough of cops and cars blocking it all off. Can't tell what's happening, the cops won't say.

When I asked a cop what was happening he just shrugged and said "Just the normal fun and games".

Yeah, I knew that - just wasn't sure if it was 'aloud'.

My apologies to the grammar police. I forgot the spelling of that form of the word. Also:


slough

noun
1.
an area of soft, muddy ground; swamp or swamplike region.
2.
a hole full of mire, as in a road.
3.
Also, slew, slue. Northern U.S. and Canadian. a marshy or reedy pool, pond, inlet, backwater, or the like.
4.
a condition of degradation, despair, or helplessness.

Not a problem hhuricane1, just having some fun. :)

Will be interesting to hear what is going on with respect to this Marlborough incident and the courthouse incident and what someone was trying to do - has made a dull day somewhat more interesting.

Not completely dull. Apparently there were a about a dozen cop cars at Deerfoot Mall as well while a bunch of cops chased two young suspects through Winners there. (My friend was there at the time)
