Yesterday we were saying that we needed something to wake us up and provide interest so that we don't doze away the day. This morning it was more of the same, By 1:00 I gave in to inevitable, and went down for a nap. David often snoozes in his recliner while I do this. At 1:30 he woke me to tell me that the police were conducting a raid on the house next door.
Twelve marked and unmarked Police cars, the the Office of the Fire Commissioner, Manitoba Hydro, and the truck from a large electrical firm, plus a couple of others. We even had one of them parked in our driveway ( with permission). Several neighbours were sitting out on front steps observing the action. It was all cleared away within a couple of hours, but I'm sure the neighbourhood will be talking about it for quite awhile. David did find out that they did have a medical permit, for a grow-op, but they had finally been brought down via bylaws and construction code violations,most specifically electrical changes that had been made that were not according to code. We also found out that they had two houses, and a raid was taking place simultaneously on the other house.
Hopefully, we can now sleep at night with the windows open, but the future may be of concern. For awhile, the house will be closed up, and, probably, the garden neglected. Worst case, the Fire Commissioner will condemn the house and order it demolished.
And that's our story for today.
