This here small town I live in is FULL of noise!! What the heck, I say to myself as I lazily wake up on this supposed to be quiet Sunday morning. But NO!!! There's all this thumping over loud speakers, and people yelling and cheering and who knows what else as noise pollution drifts up to my lofty nest upon the mountain.
I don't get the paper so I don't know what's going on. After coffee I phone a friend who does get the paper and he explains. It the Olympic torch relay ceremonies going on. Meanwhile Rick Mercer (might have to be Canadian to know who that is) is in town while attending the Rossland (just 6 miles away) Winter Carnival and that Rick guy can attract a crowd on his own.
So much for a quiet town... today at least. Might as well get out there and join them.
