❚ Saddle bags full of roses to the biker and his buddy at the Esso in Guildford on April 23 who made me smile by telling me to park my car and get on his bike and go for ride with them. And a cab full of roses to the guy in the blue truck who teased them to leave me alone – I assume you all knew each other. Just know that for a moment, I nearly threw caution to the wind and went with you. Maybe another time. ❚ Bouquets of red roses and thanks to all the volunteers who donate their time to help others. Without your kindness, some things would not happen. ❚ A store full of tomatoes to the Walmart on 88th Avenue.

❚ A warehouse of rotten tomatoes to the scumbags who stole two large pots of tulips from outside the Surrey Memorial Hospital Thrift Shop in Delta. You made a lot of outstanding citizens who volunteer very sad (and angry). Please return the tulips – no questions asked. ❚ Rotten tomatoes to Metro Vancouver for even considering business partnerships in regional parks. A park should be a quiet place where people can go and have a picnic, walk the dog, and listen to the birds.
