Time for a fence

Posted on by

What with the Prince Edward Viaduct now luminously veiled, perhaps the Don Mills overpass should be fenced from jumpers.

Police shut down the westbound Hwy. 401 express lanes at Victoria Park Ave. at around 6:30 a.m. after the woman leapt from the Don Mills Rd. overpass.

Potential jumpers should note, that before you go ahead and ruin an east end motorist’s life, the Don Mills bridge is only 50 feet up, not high enough to kill oneself.

Apparently this lady got up off the shoulder and ran in front of someone to finish the job.

How selfish.

I’m amazed how scared the civilized world is today to deal effectively with rogue states.

I’d never heard of using charcoal grills for suicide before my brother in law’s death, and now we have a famous singer using the method.

The note was paper-clipped to the neck of Delp’s shirt when police found his body at his Atkinson home, on the bathroom floor, his head on a pillow. He had sealed himself inside with two charcoal grills; toxicology tests showed he had committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.

Personally, I think it’s nuts to pay for water when you live near the Great Lakes.  I also think people that buy the Frutopias, which is just sugar water, are fooling themselves.  I do however love real grape juice.  Apparently, many others don’t.

“I think the public are being duped into buying coloured water,” he said.

I’m as amazed as this guy about the number of drivers who fly blindly into walls of snow.

The actual cause of these multi-vehicle crashes is simply the drivers.
