Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, Mlarch 7, 1990-. L SMOG Our granddaughter Kelly has given us something to write about --actuatly on two occasions during the past week. It s0 happens I have been driving for some fifiy years and il also 50 happens ihat Kelly is in the midst of a driver instruction course down at Clarke High Scbool with her 365 day folded neatly in her purse. Grandparenîs 1 expect always are depended upon as a taxi in the early years of grandchildren at least this bas been the case recently when there must be a trip 10 the show, Newcastle and yes even Oshawa. When wc travel together now l'mn flot sure just who is getting a lesson in drivîng. One thing is for sure grampa bas to.admit that hie is a lit- dle sîoppy ai the wheel or at least it appears to be such. "You didn't signal the, lane change" . . . "but there is no one behind me"... "you didn't come 10 a full stop" .. "there is flot a car in sigbt". It wasn'i 100 long before 1 realiz- cd that 1 wasn't setting a very good exampte for a young driver and in fact-I tried as neyer before 10 exer- Cisc aIl the rules of the road. 'mr flot going to be caugbî again by a learner in this gamne." It was another lane change so b cbecked the rear mirror the side mnirrors. and thcn flashed before making thc change. "You did it again Grampa it's SMOG." "What's SMOG? "Signal, Mirrors, Over your shoulder, Go" came the rcply. "Is that what tfiey beach you?'. "Yes and il makes sense."- So now 1 sit in the front passenger seat being driven 10 my granddaughters destination by her wiih no frustrations and perhaps a ltte safer because she does adhcre to the speed imits. "Do you suppose 1 could get the 1 of your car when 1 get my ace and 1, really need transporta- tion?" The second' opportunity for material came on Saturday after- noon when Kelly bounced into the office saying "Could 1 borrow $5.00 1 want to get three roses for a friend's birthday party tonight?" "Well white your here l'Il pay you $5.00 to book up ibis eighî page booktet, fold it and staple the 100 copies and furiher ,more 1I want so- meone around while 1 climb up on- to the roof." The deal was struck with Kelly getting righb 10 work and gramnpa making bis way to the roof top. It's a malter of climbing partway up the television aerial structure 10 the verandah and then proceeding the lasi fifteen feei or Iso on a aluminum ladder from the veran- dah to the roof top. It was rather windy ai the roof level and after some ten or fifteen minutes a gust came along and blew the ladder off the verandah onto the ground betow. There was no cause to be alarmed because surely Kelly would hear the tadder hit the frozen ground and come to investigate. So 1 waited ... and . .. 1 waited and 1 waited. 1 quesiioned "Is there cause for alarm?" "Didn't 1 say 1 wanted her around while 1 weni up on the roof?". 1 had onty one course now t0 fotlow and thai was to step over to the TV aerial much higher than 1 had ever climbed on it before. in fact its a litle wobbty near the top and iben my backside was catching on the eavestroughing. A deep breathe and 1 made it pasi the eavestrougb and to the more secure section., "Did you hear a noise outside?" "Yes the'tadder fl."- -1 "You're grandfather could have been hangin-g f romn the eavesroughing." "You know ils WoG',. "What's WOG?- "Watch Over Grandfathers."
