Well, we are finally living in the light! We have been waiting for Jay, our electrician, to come back to Ross to finish off some wiring for us. Finally I was talking to the school secretary and mentioned this to her and she let me know that she has a friend who is living in town and is an excellent electrician. So, to make a long story a little shorter, he came to our house. Can you imagine my surprise when I open the door to this guy who looks just like Red Green? I was very polite and didn't say anything. Anyways, he hooked up the lights in our back porch and outside the back door, and he also got our lights in the kitchen and dining room working. Considering that we are heading toward the darkest part of the year, it is a great relief to have this done.
On another note, we are a town of quite a few celebrities. Besides Red Green. The intermediate curriculum consultant who comes to Brians class looks like Mr. Rogers. Everytime we talk about him the kids all ask "you mean Mr. Rogers?" Then there is the high school teacher, Mr. Keating, aka Mr. Bean. I am not lying when I say he looks like him. It's actually kind of freaky. At least in his case he knows it, and kids bug him about it all the time. Oh yes, and, as Sonya kindly mentioned, who can forget Elvis Presley. This is the man who was told by aliens that he was THE Elvis Presley. He is even in the book "The Yukon's Most Colourful Characters." He really thinks he is Elvis. He runs for government. He ran in the last election - he was going to win and then become appointed Minister of Justice. Then he was going to offer himself an official apology. This is because he has been forbidden to file any more lawsuits due to the fact that he was overwhelming the system. LOL. No town is complete without their own Elvis, don't you agree?
