A Most Dignified Death

A Most Dignified Death

Health, Observations, People, The Law
[caption id="attachment_5554" align="alignleft" width="220"] Jonathan & Gillian Bennett in 2014[/caption]We will all die one day. Sorry, but that's a fact. The only issue is exactly how we will die. In pain? Alone? Quickly? Slowly? Gillian Bennett knew exactly how and when she would die. She lived on Bowen Island with her husband Jonathan. Her two children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren all live in Greater Vancouver and were close enough to visit. Gillian was diagnosed with dementia, a progressive loss of memory and judgment, three years ago. Since then she has been planning her end with dignity, love for her family and friends and a clear-minded understanding of how she would eventually die. Dementia offers a slow painful death, not so much for the victim but for those left to…

The Trials and Tribulations of Angela Cunningham

The Trials and Tribulations of Angela Cunningham

Assholes, Business, People, The Law
Renting property can be a profitable business in this present combination of real estate prices and interest rates. It can also be a pain in the ass. I've been lucky so far and haven't had any real problems other than a pompous doctor that thought his poo didn't stink. Other than that my experiences have been generally good and most of my tenants were good, hard working people just looking for a good home at a reasonable price.

This miscreant, who Angela previously invited into her home for Easter dinner, refuses to pay his rent, refuses to…

One Less Scumbag

Crime, People, The Law
Thieving scumbags are all around us, snatching purses, removing the contents from our cars, breaking into our homes and causing nothing but headaches and misery. So it's exceedingly satisfying when one of them gets caught, and even more so when it's caught on video. A lowlife, miscreant piece of shit had the misfortune to attempt his shoplifting caper in the presence of an off duty North Vancouver RCMP officer. And it was documented in its entirety by an intrepid videographer who narrates the collar while conversing with a 911 operator. I found it hilarious that the thieving douche continually asks his captor, between sobs and whinging, "Why are you doing this"? I think we could all ask the very same question of the thieving douche, couldn't we? Behold, the disruption…

Welcome to an accident

Welcome to an accident

Accident of the Month, The Law
It was too sweet to pass up. That nice, happy sign on the side of the highway welcoming weary travelers to Port Moody. It was like a big, juicy target sitting on the side of the road and just waiting for any brain-stem with a drivers license to launch his/her car into it. And back up the fucking traffic for hours. Thanks brain-stem driver. [juicebox gallery_id="2"]
