Blast to the past, into the future of bankrupcy

October 22nd... An uncharacterictically 'hot' 24 deg. C... A beautiful walk along a 'highway country' road with nothing to pretect you from the speeding traffic but the painted lines right before the ditch, not even at bus stops... John Abbott-ers in their 'cool' cars wizzing by in a group like crazies... Remembering those times through the forest... Where is the forest?!?!
The forest has now been replaced with gigantic mansions towering over each other as if it were a competition on who can best block out the sun... Buildings erected by people who think more is better, except when it comes to green space surrounding it... I feel for that older house who used to hanging out with the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees day in and day out... No longer able to put the freshly baked pies on the sill of the summer house, for fear of it getting a burst of exaust... Building with trend and not commen sense... Who needs bay windows and grand pillar entrances? The window is just being blocked out by the pillar! Who needs 3 garages? For 3 cars? You can't even afford to plant grass seeds!... Already one for sale.

Ben & Jerry's ~evil side glare~

Spring time is here and Ben & Jerry's are popping up like tulips...
How dare they mess with me like that!!! It is not the time to taunt me with your ice cream-ie goodness!
~waving fist in air~
But ice cream is ssssooooooooo tasty *sigh* I must find a new route.

Why wait in line, when you can eat food!

People waited in line for hours... They stood, shifting side to side, to pass the time.. Taking a few steps forward every few minutes...
But why do that? Why hurry to try to be first in line? You're only going to be hugely disappointed to see once you get there, that about 200 other people had the same thought as you, just a few minutes sooner.
You're not going to just give up and go home; you came all this way...
You tummy growls as you are contemplating whether to join the line or not; converting your thoughts to personal scolding for not eating something before leaving...
That's it!
I will wait, not in the line, but at a restaurant!
After a few hours pass, you are contently rolling your full of food self back to the line up... To see that it is down to 5 people, who look worn out from all that waiting, and lack of evening nutrition.
They glare at you for what they think is your first arrival to this line, looking all cheery... You catch their glare and know exactly what it means, so you offer them a few words of advice: "Why wait in line, when you can eat food!"

Mark the Universal Calendar!

Yesterday/today is a day to mark on the 'Universal calendar of things to remember until the end of time'. I had an outing, preceded by an event (pot luck dinner and Montreal Lights Festival all-nighter) where the girls out numbered the guys (3:1)! Yup! I said it! Can't believe it? It's true...
And that's why it should be noted.
