Elephants on Parade?
A group of Newmarket residents came across the two elephants, escapees from the circus, around 3 a.m. yesterday, resulting in the following call to 911:
Caller: “Hi. Umm… we’ve found an elephant walking down the street near the community centre, the Ray Twiney.
Operator: “Sorry?”
Caller: “We’ve found an elephant walking down the street. Like the ones from, like, the circus at the Ray Twiney Centre. One of them got loose and it’s walking down the street.”
For the full story or to listen to the 911 call and subsequent police dispatch, head over to the Globe & Mail.

Now that would have been cool if you’d caught a glimpse of them in person… er, in elephant. LOL

Next time I’m in the area north of Toronto (which is the vaguely triangular area between Aurora, Orangeville, and Inisfil) I shall very much try to hook up with you and That Grrl. Imagine seeing two Grrls at once!
I think we could have some fun, if you or I are not PMSing or getting depressed like we sometimes do. (I say that with tongue half in cheek because I know we both get kinda blue or just overwhelmed sometimes.)
