Yesterday I finished converting the ebook for the Queen and put it on her ebook reader. It sure was a big job but now she'll be able to carry the ebook with her to read while waiting for a train and while sitting outside.
The RCMP did a major cleanup of the drug trade here in Portage. 21 dealers were arrested at 7 different homes. As well as drugs a number of restricted weapons were siezed including hand guns, sawed off shotguns and a machete. A machete is not illeagle to own as long as it's not intended purpose is to be used as a weapon. I have one hanging in my garage and used it to remove parts of the dead lilac bush.
What I thought was good is that they RCMP also published the names of the accused and the charges laid. The article in the local news said that Operation Demerit, as it was called, has been in the works since October.
Great Job RCMP<

Have a great day rascals...
Good Morning, Tony!
It looks like you and your fellow La Prairians are presently receiving quite a bit of precipitation. However, judging from the nearly 46F temp registered in your "Personal Weather Station" located on the side of your blog, it should be warm enough to be coming down in the form of rain instead of snow. Hope so! Hard to believe that, in mid-May, parts of Canada remain subject to that dreaded white stuff, SNOW! It sure would put quite the crimp on anyone's weekend plans, especially, if it includes camping! Let's hope your current rainstorm sweeps through quickly, non-destructively and is soon replaced by much warmer sunnier weather! It's definitely time for everyone in North America to experience a complete spring thaw!! LOL!
Interesting to learn, from your post in the blogheader, that your local/regional law enforcement has put a serious dent in any on-going drug-related crime sprees. We don't hear about machete's being used as weapons around here, despite it sometimes feeling like "a jungle out there". Hope the capture of those 21 wonton drug thugs gives you and fellow citizens some peace of mind, especially, when it comes to those vulnerable youth who may easily get caught up in drugs or the trade.
It appears Alley's Canadian region and mine in the Northeast, U.S., are equally aligned for some terrifically warm, sunshiney weather today. Thankfully, it looks to last until Monday. After the many months of drought over the winter into very early spring, Mass. could still do with more rainfall now expected Tues. - Weds. I just don't want any accompanying thunderstorms! ARGH!
May you and the "Queen" find ways to spend an enjoyable weekend together despite the inclement weather outside! Good going on setting up her E-Reader with the computer! I guess we know how she'll be spending her time trapped indoors. Hope you find enjoyable indoor activities as well!
Looks like a rainy day for you! Have a good one!
I agree that the RCMP did a good job - anyone now trading in drugs is probably rough trade. BUT!
The problem is not the drugs - the problem is the laws.
Prohibition has never worked.
Way back when I dabbled (but did not inhale) the seller would bless the customer: "Have a good trip" was standard and well meant.
40 years of "Say No!" has produced much stronger drugs available and some scary hard asses stocking weapons and cash.
Edit: on both sides of "The war on Drugs"
I have no idea what's wrong with our government re: the whole thing. It appears they're in cahoots with the drug lords. They certainly aren't doing any of the things - preventive or curative - that could be done to help the situation. OK. End of rant. ;)
HOpe all's well - just wanted to get a greeting in before you changed your post. Oh - and say good for you on getting the ebook set up! You're so tech savvy!
