Here goes!
STOP! I don't know in who in Beiseker decided it was a good idea to install stop signs on the First Avenue extension where it crosses the CN tracks, or why. Visibility is great there. You can easily see a train coming!
It certain situations (such as fog) it might be harder to see a train already on the crossing, especially if the cars are dirty and the reflectors aren't showing up in your headlights.
Perhaps it's an insurance liability thing; if you hit a train there, it's your own fault because you ran a stop sign. In my opinion, a more sensible solution to the issue would be the installation of warning signs 50 metres from the crossing warning motorists that they're approaching an uncontrolled railway crossing.
Christmas Cheer! I don't know if it's my imagination, but the village appears to be decorated far more for Christmas than in past years! I'm glad I wasn't chosen to judge the annual Christmas Light Display contest! It must have been a very difficult job picking the best of so many beautiful displays. In my mind you're all winners!
Here's a special shout-out to the Village of Beiseker! Their display is extra-beautiful this year! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
Ho Ho Ho! Here's a big thank you to the volunteer firefighters of the Beiseker Fire Department who spent much of their Christmas Eve driving Santa up and down every street in Beiseker! Their noisy little procession makes Christmas in the village just that much more special!
I will take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year!
