Last weekend, we had the opportunity to visit anapton and Georgetown -in one sense it was an opportumly, in another sense, it could have been a costly outing leading to divorce. (Just kidding) The opportunity side included a chance to visit with bath sides of the family. The question of being a costly outing refers to Mr. i'Ixit's eritieal appraisal of my driving. X will .go on record n at�.{thethat beginning of this "Ramblings" and `state 1 have never �i��.iiildbbllllAAa !n/�acccident or a speeding ticket, in my 25 years of driving! Like most men, Mr. 't likes being .behind the wheel. 1 don't really know if he doesn't trust my driving or if be is telling the truth when he says, "1 get more tired sitting in the passenger seat." Mr. Fixit wheeled the car° as far as Orangeville, however, after making a pit stop, during which he decided to have a Big Whopper - to go, he gracefully sug- gested that perhaps 1 could take over the navigating :duties. He really didti'tthink he could manage that monstrous piece of food and keep the car oz the road. Just as gracefully, 1 said of course 1 would take over and we started down highway 10 to Brampton. Now 1=snot the type of driver that gawks around when --behind 1, -lana -defensive driv-aar. and continually watch what the other guy is doing. Highway 10 is mucin busier than it was 20 years ago and believe me you need your wits about you all the time. Due to the wrestling -match he was hav- ing with his Big Whopper, Mr. Fixit was unable to maim much conversation during the first fewminutes. Hewas too busy jug- gling the patties, onions and shredded let- tuce ettuce in an effort to keep his shirt clean, at least .until he arrived at his mom's When he bad -finally wolfed it down, he says, "howare youaloin' overtheree, do yoia want me to take over.?" 1 Ailed that 1 was fine and we continued on our merry way. MBUNGS by Pat Livingston Anyone familiar with Brampton may recall that the bypass was put there for just that reason - to bypass the major cen- tre of Brampton and avoid all the traffic. With the expansion in that area, it can no longer be called a bypass. Every .corner has, stop light and the traffic corning and going is like downtown Toronto. If You hit one light red - you hit them all red. You just seem to get going and you have to stop again. After going through this .procedure three or four times, Mr. Fixit suggested that 1 didn't have to go like .... to get to the next corner, simply "slow down and time the light properly . " "Yes sir". We arrived safely at his mother's - no dents in thescar, car, but Mr. Fixit had few more grey hairs and 1 really don't know why. Afterall, when it Brampton, do as the Bramptonians do! When it was time to proceed on to Georgetown, Mr. Fixit asked for the keys. 1 informed him, it was okay,I would drive. His reply, "no 1 will drive," was the first inclination 1 had that he perhaps didn't like being a passenger when 1 was navigating. Not being smart enough to leave well enough alone, 1 persued the matter further slid as "Biot outright- f he-didn'tiiketzny driving. Without mincing words, he filled me in on what he thought of my capability as .a driver in the city. He went on and on and somewhere in between, he pointed out that he should probably open a brake shop in Brampton, as he was sure all the drivers in that city quickly wore them down, with their repeated spun and quick stops. The rest of the weekend went well - thanks tto me biting my tongue and not really getting into an argument over such a silly matter. 1 really bate driving in that area and,l had accoinplished what 1 was after. Guess who :drove home - right, Mr. Fixit! or, Remember when. 70 years:ago May 8,.1919 No tight mike .bights - We were looking forward to the May meeting of the Lucknow Village touneil in the hope of ;gest- ting e little light on the light ,problem which is developing into a first class mystery to the people of Lueknogw. .Another first-of4the-month has gone by and still nobody has called to collect for electric light current. There are whisper- ings of a law suit between Mr. Stewart and the town, but there is no real information.
