While I'd love to be able to say I started looking at my fishin stuff, I can't. I wish I could say different than I'm about too, but I can't. Sorry.
Friday was ok, Saturday not so bad, but Sunday, Sunday is the day that defined the weekend and it wasn't good.
I spent Sunday dealing with this
The St. Thomas Police Service responded to a weapons call on Talbot Street in the downtown area on Sunday.

My son is the victim in that news story. He was stabbed twice in the back, once in the ribs, (left side) and has a deep gash in his left arm just below the elbow that has caused some serious damage that currently prevents him from being able to use his left hand and will require surgery to repair.(He's left handed BTW)
He'll be seen by a surgeon on Thursday morning to assess what needs to be done to repair the damage to his arm and hopefully allow him to recover fully with full use of his left hand.
Sad thing is, he knows the woman. They went to school together. Police have corroborated everything my son said happened including her giving him a hug before she set him up for this to happen. What did they get? His wallet, his phone and she had the balls to take his bloody sweater off him and then put it on herself after she kicked him while he was down after being stabbed. She was wearing the sweater when they arrested them (which thankfully wasn't long after they got the call to respond. They passed the two of them on the way to my son.) What did he have in his wallet that was worth doing this? $5. The only thing the police have yet to find is his wallet or any of his ID.
I went to see him today and helped him clean up his apt, and drove him around to get his health care and bank cards canceled then replaced. He'll replace his driver's license when he gets paid and can afford the fee to do that later this week.
