What's in the Van Day 2 (Morning)


Well, day 2 of my quest turned out to be quite the adventure so far. I guess I will break the news early this time...I didn't win....Again. Does this mean that I will quit? Does this mean that I will throw in the towel? No sir, not this cat. I mean c'mon, what else am I gonna do this week that is this productive. I am gonna post my pics from the contest today so I can get to the good and entertaining stuff that happened.
I guess will start with the not winning ticket...again.

Then on to the van...pretty location today...


Now. the winner today picked the envelope and not the van...and good thing cause there was a puzzle in the van...I think I would want to keep the rabbit though.
And what did the lucky fellow (obviously NOT me) win? $850 COLD HARD CASH...
Making him quite the happy fellow. (Again, notice how this isn't me!)

Ok, now before I realized that my winning was not happening this morning, even before I got through my lovely Timmys coffee, the event of the day so far happened right in front of me. I was just standing there on the corner of 104st and 109 ave when this '86 or so Dodge Caravan slams into the back of a REALLY nice Jag. Heck of a crash let me tell you. Well, everyone involved seemed fine with the exception of the van and the Jag. Here's my pics of the events that shaped my morning...

Notice that the rear end of the Jag has a nice downward angle now...


Notice the high class plastic and duct tape rear window the van was already showing off before the accident even happened...maybe this lady should stick with the bus.
Edmonton's Finest doing their thing

Well, there you have it. Another day, another not win by me. The van will be at Rexall tonight and so will I. More good things to come.

What's in the Van Man? Week

Hey all, I know no one reads this but I am adding useless info about my life for the first time in just about forever. For those of you that know what I have been up to lately, you know that I am about to start school (again). I am going to be an air traffic controler or at least going to try. Anyway, I find myself with a whole week with nothing to do but study. So I have decided to try and get on to Sonic 102.9's travelling game show...What's in the Van, Man? http://www.radiosonic.fm/contests/index.php?entry=entry060519-112246 Go there if you wanna know about it. So anyway, you get your name in a draw. If you get picked, then you get to pick an envelope of some unknown amount of money or "whats in the van".







So here is a pic of my winning ticket.

Ok, truth is, this ticket did nothing for me today. But I will keep on trying. But the good thing is I have all week and they do this twice a day. Today the girl that won picked what was in the van. Thats good because the envelope has $5.00 in it and the van had a new 30Gig iPod. That could have been mine. Not today. Maybe tomorrow. I guess its still cool cause I scored the obigatory "free radio station promotional stuff...

Other than that here is a couple pics of NOT ME winning...

That's my iPod on that chair and by me I mean the lady in pink in the bottom corner...so...not me at all.

Ohhh...one redeeming thing about the day was this kid. Some parents need to feel cool so they use their kids...
Well, until next time...
