Big city excitment

I woke up this morning and opened up the curtains to find the front of Ronald McDonald House almost surrounded by Police vehicles and officers and crime scene tape from the street to the house. Immediately I start thinking of a story that has happened. I have to admit the first thought was someone was murdered then I thought maybe they found an old lady that had died and hadn't found her for a long time. I feel kind of twisted. I've been watching to many NCIS and CSI shows. I watched for about an 1 1/2 hours on and off. The forensic team came with their little white boots and their cameras,and police people were in and out a bunch looking busy.

I went down stairs and was talking to some other people about it and one man got interviewed by a news reporter, I guess to see if he heard or saw anything. I found out that nobody died, but that there was an explosion last night in the house across the street. He asked was it a gas line, and they said "no it was something they were doing". So my speculation is probably drugs. That seems to be happening a lot in Edmonton. I must have been in a very deep sleep, cause I sure didn't hear a thing. He said that there were a bunch of fire trucks too throughout the night!! Crazy. We never have action like this on the farm. All the TV stations were here filming and taking pictures so you can watch it tonight(FRIDAY)on the news to see what really went on today.

  2. That neighbourhood is sketchy! When we first moved in there, I remember driving up by myself with a truck load of stuff and there were about 5 cop cars and a police van and a bunch of police in a lot of gear. An officer had a shotgun out and was checking his gun while it was pointed at the ground! I remember thinking, oh man... what kind of neighbourhood is this.. and then forgot! I would always watch around that corner and would see strange people parked in cars on the corner, just sitting there for hours.... weird! Good to read your updates and hope things are well!
