A news story about conjoined (aka “Siamese”) twins joined at the head just born in Canada. I read the story and it turns out the parents are from the small town I grew up in! Wow!! I don’t think I know anyone in their families, but still nevertheless, as far as stories about conjoined twins being born close to home go, it’s pretty cool.

I used to think nothing ever happened in Vernon. But ten years ago, one of the biggest mass murders in Canadian history took place there. Now this! That place is turning into a freak show. Maybe if they get a bearded lady, I shall move back.

(Good heavens — is this turning into a gossip column?)
