Thanks Stockwell.

So word is that Stockwell Day (and whomever else was in on the decision making) has agreed to fix the eroding bank at Mom's house and one other on Kerr St to the tune of almost half a million each - holy crap! That's a joke, right?

They're going to back fill the yard with lots of boulders and rock and graval to give it some stability and then Mom can topsoil and sod at her expense when she chooses to.

You know what's really funny though? My Dad asked them over 30 years ago if he could backfill with rock at his expense and they said "Absolutely Not!", then after Dad died, my Mom (about 28 years ago) asked if she could backfill with rock at her expense and guess what? They said "Absolutely Not!"...so now am I shedding a tear at them having to blow a budget on this project now? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
