heat brings out the crazies...

or people do crazy things, but I'm not entirely sure what the difference is though. Or maybe the heat has caused my brain to melt and I just think normal stuff is crazy...

In any case, it's way too hot to sleep...it's apparently 20C out right now and it's midnight (or close to it).

We've had a bit of a strange evening. Alex and I were walking down Broadway and we bumped into Duncan, who just happened to be talking to Gwen, so I spoke to her briefly.

Then we went to pick Kelsey up from the bus station. That was a bit of an adventure as there is a huge fire around Ontario/Quebec and 3rd Avenue. It's stinky and there was a huge bunch of looky-loos looking. We had to take a bit of a backward-forward route to get there. But we got there.

And just now someone pounded on our door. I opened it to discover a plainclothes policeman standing on our front porch. He wanted to know if we'd called 911 about an intruder...not any old intruder mind you, a raccoon. Considering the wildlife that has been hanging out in our backyard, it could have been us, but it wasn't.

It turns out the guy next door called the police on behalf of his neighbour who lives across the alley, so they were looking in the wrong block.

But my question is, who calls the POLICE about a raccoon?

    and if you think it's hot in vancouver...well...you should come here, where guys get kicked out of kelly o'brians for taking off their shirts and sitting around in wife beaters.
