Status: Task Force on a Boat and it's Going Fast

We can see clearly now, the rain is gone. Just kidding. It’s starting to clear up. Just kidding. Oh wait, is that the sun? Just kidding. Rain, we hate so much about the things you choose to be.

Seriously though. Global warming is one tricky adversary. We thought we’d had it beat after we gave out our free Douglas Firs on Canada Day, but it seems to have reared its ugly head once again. However, it’s ok, because even though it’s raining more than ever, we told you we’d be here forever. And we sell Tourism umbrellas…ellas…ellas…eh eh eh. Actually though, we do. They’re $13.28 plus tax. AND they have the Burlington logo on them, which pretty much means they are made of awesome.

Alright we’re focusing now. We apologize that this week’s Weekly Weekend Wrap-Up is more of a Monthly Mid-Week…Medley. I guess you could just blame it on the rain. Though we do have an excuse… we had SUPER EXCITING TIMES last week (back when the sun wasn’t just a distant memory).

*Cue dramatic music*

It happens once a year. The best of the best are gathered together for one epic day: powers united, watches synchronized and shirts coordinated in heckle-worthy yellow (who knew wearing bright yellow shirts subjected you to drive-by hecklers?). It was no ordinary Thursday to say the least. It was SCAVENGER HUNT DAY!!!! This day is what all Task Force members spend eons training for. We received our list of cryptic clues to Burlington hot-spots and with Natalie ready to photograph the event, we spent 4 grueling hours on the mean streets of Burlington (not that there is anything mean about them) searching for answers. As Captain Kirk has powers beyond our scope of understanding, it was of course the hottest day of the summer. Moreover, we would just like to say that we did NOT cheat despite allegations to the contrary. Yes, Parminder Singh DID call home base for information, and no, it was NOT Alyssa.

And now we go to Ollie for our weather forecast. Ollie?
“IT GON RAIN.”
Thanks Ollie.

Moving right along. We would now like to inform the general public of our Task Force updates. We will put this into a numbered list for your convenience:

1) New members have joined the Task Force since we last spoke. Young William and Andrea have successfully completed junior ranger training and have transitioned well into out elite fighting force.

2) Dania, Natalie, Nicole and Matt have joined the Task Force Protection Program, as they have completed their 7 week stint. We wish them the best of luck…not that they need luck. We know that their good looks and super powers will be enough to get them where they need to go. God speed.

3) Task Force logo AND slogan- heck yes!


4. We have a surprise for our loyal followers next week. Stay tuned. We promise it will be cooler than the weather we’ve been having.

Task Force OUT.

Stay classy Burlington.
