Lucky August 13 Morning Headlines

 

It looks so...quiet...

It looks so...quiet...

Thursday is usually good enough.

It’s close to the weekend, most of the week has been beaten and fun stuff starts to happen Thursday night.

Throw in the beginning of the Fringe and you know people will be in a good mood today.

Some observations of news headlines and stories: the headlines still seem pretty long to me. But I could just be lazy.

The Journal is slapping the word “Edmonton” into more and more stories, I find.

Everybody’s got the story of the father and daughter killed in a car crash in North Dakota, and the pedestrian killed last night south of the city.

Now, the rest of the stories…

from the Edmonton Journal:

Homeowners stockpile lawn product to be banned in Alberta

Neighbours fed up with Edmonton sports field drunks

Edmonton’s Dawson Bridge is closing down for repairs

Alberta has most complaints against RCMP, report finds

from the Edmonton Sun:

from 630 CHED/iNews880:

from CTV Edmonton:

from SEE Magazine:

from Vue Weekly:

Whew!

    Is there something you can do to convince them not to close the Dawson Bridge? Or, hell, close it and then make a zip line across the river for me and my car? That bridge closure adds 10 mins to my morning commute.

    ai haz a sad

    Hey, you know that toxic herbicide stuff that’s making its way into the water supply and that the government is concerned enough about to actually ban? let’s STOCK UP ON THAT SH*T AND SELL IT ON EBAY!
    way to stick it to the man.

    Adam, you make it sound like I have a bat-phone to the Mayor…

    I will call him about the zip-line after lunch.

    Derjis, that guy is awesome! I love that he is lugging around all this weed and feed and doesn’t want us to know his full name.

    i just loled because the anonymous weed and feed stockpiler, let’s call him “terry,” (which just makes me picture terry and the deaner from fubar) has never used it before! i love it! i know nothing about this product, but since it’s going to be banned, it will clearly be valuable. because if i know one thing about the internet, it’s that people love to order 7 kilogram bags of stuff online.
