What a great topic for my story........3 years back i went fishing on the Elbow, but I'm sure not to the part where any of you guys go...it was in town..started at the bridge at 25 st and just south of Macleod trail, north of 4th ave...anyway...I got as far as the next bridge, the walk over one in Lindsay Park...something "purple" caught my right eye under a low growing bush. Went over and found a purse! The first thought that came to my mind was..damn I don't have any rubber gloves..for this park was the home of many transits, and crackers, and only God knows who's purse this belong to. Lucky for me there was an empty plastic bag about 10' in front of it...I opened it up just by dumping the contents on the ground..Holy crap...I hit a jackpot!!
There on the ground was a 3/4 full bottle of Vodka, a book of bus tickets with only one gone, a hairbrush, 4 condoms in their package, a small plastic bag of "crack", a pipe that was used, and 3-$20 dollar bills, 1 $10 bill, and enough change on the ground to make up just over another $10 bucks...BUT NO ID...after gathering up the $$$$, and the bottle, bus tickets, crushing the crack in the little bag and dumping the power onto the ground, I left the condoms..and got out of that spot, only to meet up with a native passed the bridge where I was and gave him the 3/4 full bottle of Vodka, he thanked me and off he went back to the river's edge.
It was back to fishing for me after that and boy the 4 fish I got was the icing on the cake!...........................Wolfie
