Some of my neighbours have really scary stuff in front of their houses. Most of it has to do with Hallowe’en.
But then there is this. What is it? And, more importantly, what the flaming heck is it doing in my residential neighbourhood?


The canoe and the propane tanks make me think it is someone’s idea of a recreational vehicle, but honestly, it looks more like a military armoured vehicle. Now, THAT is scary.
So who are you gonna call? Ghost Busters? Sorry, showing my age and dumb humor. However I would phone your local parking enforcement department or whatever Edmonton might have. That does not seem appropriate to park in a residential area.
That’s funny, Mary Beth!! I’m chuckling here. But, yes, it is definitely out of place. If I see it again I may call someone at city hall. I can’t help thinking that whoever uses that has guns inside it.
Exactly! Can’t think of the word I want (it will come to me but it might be tomorrow!). Those folks who believe they can be self-sufficient as the world crumbles around them. That’s who I imagine would shelter in that behemoth.
Survivalists? Living off the grid? Maybe that vehicle is full of preserves.
Survivalists, Bingo!! Hmm, preserves. Flavor preference? LOL
Peaches!
Cherry here!
Speaking of survivalists, I recommend the book Educated by Tara Westover. It is amazing; the best book I have read all year. It is an autobiography but reads like a novel.
Yes! I read that earlier this year. Amazing person, weird family.
I couldn’t believe they exist in our century.
Well, they may be existing in present times but they really don’t seem to be living in this century. I wonder what causes folks to do such things. I’m not thinking it’s wrong, just not taking advantage of what could be available to them?
Incidentally the book received mixed reviews from folks who have read it.
Oh, what do those reviewers know! I thought it was amazing.
I would be a little uncomfortable with your ‘camper’ on my street. 😳
That’s exactly how I feel. When I saw it I stopped in the middle of the street and gasped!
No doubt!
