Earlier this week, Eagle and I drove down to High River to visit our friends, Sylvia and Glen. Sylvia breeds border terriers of which Eagle is a fine example. He just turned 14 on Xmas Eve and shows little sign of slowing down. For his first eight years, Eagle was one of Sylvia's breeding males. He has sired many champion border terriers who live across western Canada and the northern U.S. Towards the end of his breeding life, he came to live with me in Calgary where he's adapted to city life very well.
My Texas friend sent me a copy of Lynne Truss's book 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' for Christmas. Lynne feels that it's time to begin paying attention to punctuation before things get completely out of hand. She even proposes that we empower ourselves as 'punctuation' police. Here's my first bit of evidence from my very own neighbourhood. What's with that apostrophe at the end of Elle on this sign? Doesn't it look lonely? And how embarrassing for it, stuck out there on its own with nothing to do.
