Doug Price On Life

Yes. Guess who's been sleeping in our bed. The latest stats are in. Apparently, North America is divided into three distinct camps those who sleep with their pets on their bed, those who don't allow their pets to sleep on their bed, and those who don't have pets. Pretty definitive, I'd say. Of course, I can only speak from personal experience. As an adult, I indeed had a pet horse for 23 years, but sleeping together topic just never came up. Besides, how can I say this and still be sensitive to my dear buddy, Purple Rain? In hindsight, I don't think his behind would have fit in my bed. After all, it's only a double. And I know Purple has always needed his own space, so to speak. I mean, I never dared to show up at his stall with a blanket and a pillow and say, hey, perp, let's have a sleepover. Although it'll be perfectly candid, I did have a dream once. Woke up in the middle of the night with a nagging headache. Hey, buddy, do you have to take up the whole frigging bed? Could I not least have maybe a bit of a sheet and perhaps even a pillow? Look, I don't mean to be personal, pal, but watch with the snow. That's nice. Oh, great. Now it's morning. That's timing it up.

Transcription: Wow. Never realize what a historical heritage site Westmount City Hall is with its Scottish castle design, complete with central tower and turrets. The architectural wonder was is built and get this 1922. That's over 100 years old. A century and still ticking. Well, to be honest, it's humungous clock has only been ticking for 98 years. Kovid's collateral damage came to town, and then time stood still for two years. City hall was closed. Besides, there was no one there to wind, said the vintage clock, a beacon of light swallowed up by the night. But it didn't have to be that way. As a former West Mount part time employee, I knew how to wind the clock at the top of the tower, I was taught. First, you had to climb the tiny circular stairs up, almost there. Making sure to bend over like Quasimodo's hunchback for a touch of historical authenticity. Then slowly, delicately crank the winch, which would eventually restart the 100 year old marvelous masterpiece of a bygone era. And if the clock still didn't start seriously, this is what I was taught. Just kidding. The Friggin pendulum. There we go. By the way, COVID caused chaos in the Maritimes, too. In Newfoundland.

The two year summer festival drought is over and Doug can't wait for.... All of Them!
