Cases still end up in court from time to time when they shouldn't. I had a charge of driving while suspended when I thought I was simply just not driving with a valid drivers license. I told the cop I never was informed of any suspension. He could have radioed in and got confirmation that I in fact had not signed for the double registered mail informing me of this. I decided to defend myself in court because I knew the suspension wasn't valid. I was surprised the prosecution overlooked the lack of signature. Sure enough, the Judge looked at the prosecution when I said I was never served the suspension and asked her where the confirmation was? She shrugged and he then laid into her for wasting everyone's time. It should have never ended up in a court room.

Lucky for me I moved and the mail notice went to my old address because I hadn't tried to reinstate my license yet. I had served a 6 month suspension gave to me by the courts and what happened is the Supervisor of Motor vehicles decided to override their decision and give me a year. The reason I only got 6 months is I drove a person who couldn't breath during a asthma attack to the hospital and they called the cops on me for smelling like booze and driving away. Judge considered it and gave me a break stating I should have taken a cab home and all would have been forgiven. He was right...

Not saying cops don’t make mistakes. It happens.

Man alive, I wish I would’ve kept some of those hockey card we used to stick in the back wheels of our pedal bikes. As most adults now regret

He’ll be so rich by then it won’t even be funny and he’s not even a star player. Nice guy though.

Thanks Carol for the blog.

I'm with DK.
Not guilty does not mean innocent, it means lawyers created reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.

I think the fact that the Canucks almost immediately distanced themselves from JV is a strong indicator that this dude is a dirt bag and they knew it.

It’s almost impossible to prove. He was almost certainly going to be “innocent” the whole time. He is a pos that has done crap like this too many women

Is he in good shape? And to what degree? Is he ripped or just average-joe fit?
- bloatedmosquito

He had a black t-shirt and beige shorts on with a black ball hat, he’s definitely in shape but he’s not tall. Not bulky but fit.

A&W is bringing the whistle dog back, must be an attempt to lure all the snow birds back
- onesmallleap


Until the recent Habanero Chicken Burger was introduced, the Whistle Dog was the only thing worth ordering on their menu.

The smell of their beef burgers clings to the upholstery in my vehicles for days and the farts from those burgers cling even longer. A week later it smells like a fresh road kill fart when I plop down on the drivers seat. Good luck selling your car if you ate A&W in it a week earlier...

- Reubenkincade

It’s a subjective opinion, however, someone who wins awards for personal accomplishments? He’s certainly not a bad player, he’s that third tier kinda player.

I still have rookie cards for Paul Coffey, Ray Bourque, Pat Quinn, Trevor Linden, Lidstrom, Bure, Lindros, Bossy, LaFontaine and a bunch of others. I didnt start collecting until 91... some of the older ones were gifts.

Before his trial = Guilty

Found Not Guilty = Doesnt mean he's not guilty



Jury, I rest my case...

- boonerbuck



No pre-judgement in here at all...

We have gun control experts, climate, racism, sexism, vaccines, diseases, GM's, politics, it's a plethora of geniuses!!

I have one but in rougher condition. Maybe worth around $900 that's it.

The 9.8's are worth huge money now and didn't a 10.0 sell for 3.7 mil recently?

Sure my Bobby Smith Rookie card is mint but my Gretzky rookie saw the bike spokes.

I have photo evidence, he actually said that - but I’m just BS’ing about where he’ll sign. Apparently he likes Scottsdale though

Do you sit around with hockey cards imagining you are conversing with those players? A tea party with a half dozen hockey cards?

The insects and humidity drove me crazy. But yeah, spent a lot of time up there when I was younger. It's changed a lot.

Sounds like someone’s got another hot inside scoop from the Roxy!
