C5 - Wednesday, June 1, 1983 - North Shore News GE travel VACATION JITTERS WANT TO KNOW the worst part of any vacation? Coping -with the night before you leave! If this is your average “big” holiday, you spent six months shuffling brochures, driving your travel agent nuts and butcher- mg your bank account. You've bought a clutch of new clothes in a size smaller than last year because you've Starved-off eight pounds. Your bag(s) - probably more than you need - are nearly packed, you've got lists to keep track of your lists and you've taken Bowser to the vet. Your fridge -is empty except for the four eggs and half-quart of milk you intend to finish in the morning. Your wife has cancelled the newspapers. the milk delivery and the cleaning lady. Or has she? Guess who will wake WHO at four am to say, “Sam! Did you call the paper?” You've set two = alarm clocks - one electric and the other a clunker, just to be sure. You've called your mother, your brother, your sister and your uncle .to say your last farewells. Isn't this fun? Then you lie in bed agonizing over that codicil you'd intended to add to your will and forgot until now. A filling in your right molar gnaws a little. Damn thing was fine yesterday. The plane is going to crash, of course. You pic- ture yourself plummeting in- to a mountain, or the Atian- tic, or some ikky swamp. Bowser. He'll pine. The dog in the next cell will have distemper. When did poor old Bowse have his last shot? Ohmygawd, did I tell the vet about his nervous stomach? He's probably lying there, night now, in a sea of misery and galloping diarrhea The cab won't be on time “Elsie! What time did you order the cab?

Lock the basement door but don’t use the bolt. Adam has the key and he'll keep an eye on the water tank and the freezer. Sure he will. He promised. If that tank goes ——. It won't! But if it did? We'd have to rip up the flooring, that’s what! It would sit there for days before that idiot checked it. Probably short the wiring behind the freezer and we'd lose the whole works. Elsie's got a side of beef in that freezer, too. And all those bloody strawberries we pick- THEY DESERVE TOP HONOURS! A Gift to last a lifetime!

Sure as hell, the whole thing will go. Adam’s such a jerk and that spinny wife of his is no better. Well, it won't matter. The plane is going down regardless and we haven't a hope. Maybe I should have gone to church last week. Hey, was it really last Christmas? Naaa. Not that long. You don’t have to go to church regularly to be a good Christian, I've always said. Still, we should have gone last Sunday. Wonder if there will be many people out to the memorial service when that plane goes down? Quit it! What good is all this “what if” garbage? Garbage!

I gave that thing to Adam's kid and he’s a bigger loser than his old man. Adam's probably never seen it! Or the key, either. I gave it to the kid! Well, that's the last we see of it. ose @ Sam might fall asleep about now, if he’s lucky. If not, he still hasn't agonized over the lawns, the mail, the relatives or his night molar. No matter what, he won't be ready for the double jolt ‘of two alarm clocks. Sam and Elsie had a fine vacation. The plane didn’t do anything unscheduled. Adam’s kid delivered both the hst and the key to Adam, who did a masterful job monitoring the freezer and the water tank. Bowser didn't get distemper and if he pined, it wasn't obvious. Matter of fact, he had to be hauled out of the kennel, evidently in love with the classy poodle in the next ZA 8:30 to 11:00am DOORCRASHER ZELLERS 10-PACK GARBAGE BAGS 9:30 to 11:00 am DOORCRASHER 26" x 36" reg 99¢ 2i $ 00 Umit 4 PER CUSTOMER | 9:30 to 11:00 DOOARCRASHEAR CANDY By Netison/200 gr Box reg $1 49 .88°* Box ULIMIT 6 PER CUSTOMER STEREO UNITS SELECTED STYLES reg to $499 05 Now 40 % oft Atari / Intellivision or Coleco GAME CARTRIDGES reg to $54 6B Now 7 PIECE COOKWARE SET Incl 2?
