Hello
Last week, my wife, Mrs. Saul, parked our car at a down town parking meter spot and inserted fifty cents which would allow her to park legally for 40 minutes. She was delayed returning to the car due to an unexpected verbal exchange with Mrs. Tuchsbany, with whom my wife had attended fifth grade. The ten minute delay resulted in a clear violation of the parking code, as stipulated by the city of Regina's law enforcement. As a result, I was attempting to go to city hall today to explain the situation and to determine the amount owing in terms of a fine, since no ticket was attached to the car. While attempting to reach said municipal government office, I found myself amidst a thrall who were protesting nuclear power. It seemed that they did not understand the etymology of the word nuclear, which comes from the Greek nu, which means new, and the Latin clear, which means clear, and are combined to mean, "if the government says it is safe, then it is safe". Oh, I get so riled up when citizens do not do their research.
