'Around Home IT'S AN EXPERIENCE Our trip out west to Edmonton Edmonton has provided me with some information which I can use for this column. Actually Actually enough for two columns columns at least. One could easily be the experiences experiences in transportation while the other could well present the sights in the City and some of the conditions being faced by the general taxpayer in the Town of Stoney Plain where they are almost facing bankruptcy. I have come to realize that travelling to and from the Toronto International Airport Airport has to be an experience for anyone travelling with me. You may recall that earlier this year when picking up our daughter and grandson at the airport we fogged out the departure entrance with a cloud of smelly smoke due to the emission oil from the cars transmission. Further we never made it home as the transmission cëased-up a few miles west of Bowmanville on the 401. It's actually hard for me to believe the amount of smoke that emitted from the car on that occasion. Well we had no transmission transmission problems on the way to the airport on our recent trip as Donna suggested we take the youngest car for the trip. But this does not mean it was without incident. We had to abandon the car in Whitby and make a quick call for a taxi for the rest of the trip, getting to the airport a half hour before take-off. This time it was the rad hose that split and steam poured out from under the hood about a mile east of the Whitby cut-off. It was almost reminiscent of our former trip when we pulled into a service station a few minutes before seven in the morning. A call for a taxi and one to Mercer's to have the car picked picked up solved the problem with ease and we were able to board the plane in all en- ■ thusiasm to meet our family in Edmonton. It was a great visit and with our grandson now two and a half and pushing play trucks and cars and enjoying to be read to we had a most enjoyable enjoyable time. Incidentally I still enjoy those Nursery Rhymes and have since thought I should read more poetry. It swings right along. We left Edmonton in a good frame of mind and boarded a 727 for the trip home. ' As the rows of seats are piade up in three's I had company company other than Donna, who was ready for some shut-eye, * to take up the four hour flight to Tçronto. Sitting beside me was a retired doctor who had been visiting' in. Victoria and was on his way home to Hamilton. The two of us found w,e had much in common common as to our interests in ■ music, nature, flowers and birds. He also /elated some of his experiences in St. John, Newfoundland, 'as a doctor with the army during the war years. Although my knowledge of Newfoundland i is somewhat limited I had been in St. John's on a number of occasions during a stint with the navy. It is amazing how time flies when you are in good conversation conversation and the four hours from. Edmonton to Toronto was really only a short zip. That I should be that lucky the next time. Elaine and Ken were waiting for us with car at thé airport and we took off for home in the pouring rain with no delay. I have always àdmired the road system across the top of the city for, with the exception exception of rush hours, one can move along quite swiftly in the express lane even in tpe pouring rain and with a considerable considerable amount of traffic. Of course, that is the case until you have a flat tire which we did on the left front quarter. Ken and I looked at one another and I must say I cursed a little. The rain had not let up and where do you go under such a circumstance. circumstance. I wasn't sure I even had a spare tire because I had not seen it since purchasing purchasing the car a few months back. We both got out to view the situation and were immediately immediately dosed with a full spray of water, grease and grime from the first transport that stormed by. Not only did we have a flat tire but we had parked beside a pond of water in a dip in the road. It didn't make any difference difference how hard it rained after that, we were soaked so we decided we would change the tire right there and then. We limped home on one of those wheelbarrow wheels they now provide under thé floor boards for a ,spare and I have vowed that the next time we will take a limosine to the airport.
