Dodge Viper now Approved by Canadian Parliament

Running into Joe Dickson

Headed to Ajax today to help publish a friends book of poetry. (If you'd like help publshing your own book, let me know - that's what I do).

Anyways, I went to park in front of my house on Clover Ridge, and I saw Joe Dickson's Dodge Pick-Up turning off McLarnen. To anyone that doesn't know, Joe Dickson is Mr. Ajax. He's been in politics forever, working hard for the town, and he would have been elected to parliament many years ago if it wasn't for some dispicable 'candidate parachuting' on the part of Prime Minister Jean Chretien in an effort to land more women in politics. (Don't even get me started on that.)

Joe Dicksons Printing in Ajax Ontario

Anyways, not only is Joe the MP, member of parliament, for Ajax, but he's also a very prosperous businessman, running Joe Dickson's Printing for as long as I've been alive. His business is distinct, identified by these absolutely hideous trailers and company vehicles painted in a light yellow, white, and baby blue stripes. (I've actually thought of running for Mayor of Ajax simply on a platform of outlawing this color combination on any company vehicle operating in the town of Ajax. You know, I betcha I would win if I did.)

Joes Viper

Anyways, one of Joe's pickups is a Dodge Ram with a Viper engine in it. I guess it was a bit of a treat for Joe to himself. It's quite stealth, as nobody would expect such horsepower to be behind a curiously striped company pick-up. Well, he does have a license plate that says "Joes Viper", but other than that, you'd never know. :)

So, as I was saying, I passed Joe as he pulled down Clover Ridge from McLarnen. I parked across my street, at which time Joe passed me on the left. I noticed a little look of recognition, and a little head nod, saying 'yup, I approve.' So, there you go. The Viper has been approved by the local member of Federal Parliament. It's good to know. :)
