You Want It When?!

So I was wandering around the city today, just taking in the sights.  When you grow up in Redneck country, a city with a population of 85, 000+ seems to be filled with endless wonders.  And today was no different.  I saw a truck pass by and the name on the door said, “Low Speed Transport”.

I thought to myself, “What an amazing place we live in that offers such choice in how quickly you want your freight moved.”

I’m sure lot’s of people have had a feeling the “Rapid Trucking” or “We Move It Now” were just too fast.  They need things transported but there’s really no rush at all.  Anytime within the next six or seven months should be just fine.  It makes me wonder if this concept would work in a restaurant.  You could come in tonight and place your order and then come back tomorrow to eat it.  How about low speed blogging; all of you can keep coming back everyday to see what’s new at The Redneck and I’ll just write whenever I get around to it.

Hey, wait a minute…

A Funny Thing Happened To Me In Downtown Red Deer Yesterday

“I think it was an Asian gang or something… There was this guy, he looked Asian… and he was speaking another language, I’m pretty sure it was… Asian.“*

So I was out for a bike ride yesterday, and I stopped at a corner near the water fountains to wait for the light to change.  There  were three ne’er do wells gentlemen guys facing the other direction.

One of them turned and approached me.  In a low voice he asked, “Hey.  Do you know where I can get some weed?”

Strangely, I actually contemplated for a moment whether or not I knew such a thing before replying, “No, I don’t.”  He apologized and then turned away.  Then one another one of the group came up so me and asked something I didn’t quite catch.  I begged his pardon and he repeated himself but I still couldn’t quite understand him.  Very warily I just shook my head and quietly said no.

Then I finally understood him when he said, “You don’t know where downtown is?”

This puzzled me a little bit but I answered, “This is downtown.”  He turned back to his friends presumably to tell them that they had reached their destination and that they could expect the weed to start flowing like water.   It’s too bad that the old Windsor and Park Hotels are gone now.  Those were really good places to get weed…or so I heard.

*The Cable Guy, watch it, it’s hilarious.

Red Deer Digest: Local Red Deer News & Events

Ernie and I started a new site this week, called the Red Deer Digest. This will be a place to talk about local news in the Central Alberta area, where we both live. Yeah, I know, the Redneck Bar and Grill is in the Horseguard Valley. That just happens to be on the edge of Central Alberta, and Red Deer is the closest major center to us. All of our Blue Beaver Beer gets shipped directly from there, and Ernie lives in Red Deer. For all of us Central Albertans, Red Deer is a must visit, since all the Walmarts are there.

This new site will be a chance to post restaurant reviews, events at the Westerner Park and other things that are probably only interesting to locals. For instance, this weekend is the 2008 Red Deer Motorcycle Show.

As if I didn’t have enough on the go already! I’m going to have to cut something off the schedule. I know, reality T.V! Oh, yeah, I  already don’t watch that. Ok, how about all that time I waste sleeping…..
