Jul 26, 2009 - The "Soo" to Cookstown

It's Sunday morning so that means there is some purpose for being up early, I get to pass along the important drivel from the past week.

There had been a fatal accident during the night and the highway was closed for all southbound lanes which we didn’t find out until past the available turnoff.It's Sunday morning so that means there is some purpose for being up early, I get to pass along the important drivel from the past week.
