And, in all the unboxing (lots of unboxing, easily 500+ scrolls and several pounds of discarded food items) - a few notes to you. Somebody misses you:
A fair likeness, I think...
...and how does he know what perfume you wear?
You share a love of flying saucers...
Anyways, if you need a date I know an Artist who would be very interested. I thought it funny that he's still thinking of you - did you write him back?

A trip back to Alberta, stop to visit a field of crosses between Cranbrook & Fernie - always wondered what happened:
Rumour has it there was a bad curve, lots of fatalities, since fixed on the highway. Alas, no answers here.
Alberta, Albertan, Unusually lush...
A sandstone butte in a field, on the right-hand side at the base there's a tunnel into the side, next time I'm going to have to jump the fence with a flashlight and see what's up there. Curious - an old root cellar? Indian Cave?
Nice antique chest in Thrift shop, Calgary.
Ferocious terrain to bushwhack through, high-stepping fallen trees, always at 45 degrees, always uphill, and not a trail in sight.

I'm not kidding. 8 hours, under 60 seconds per scroll, and I'm not done. This just in the 8 weeks I've been back.
Scrolls rolled and tied with lollipops, matchbooks, twine, ribbon, string, tape, aluminum foil, gum, wire, you name it, he's done it. Scrolls containing candy bars, candy, suckers, - and - even money - a $5 bill and a $2 coin so far. And I haven't even been unwrapping them all, there's a big segment that will be unwrapped by posterity. And there are some masterpieces here:
So, to town to buy him some more art supplies, this man is a living treasure. A picture of him on his scooter out delivering happiness to the children of Nelson:
I need to start working on a way to get him his own museum, preferably while he's living. But first to find a place to live and where I can start to unpack all of this...
I should have been a Psychiatrist...

Looking for a job, any job that isn't seasonal, that isn't restaurant related, because, all things told, restaurants are a pretty precarious business to be in at this moment. And while the pub's reopened all the safety measures easily double the work load, for half the customers, an abysmal amount of take out...
Time to find something else...
So, checking the local jobs I come across a posting for Psychiatrist. $350-450,000 per year. Holy Fuck.
And it dawns on me, too late, that I seriously made the wrong career choice. I mean, look at my friends and acquaintances - all of them crazy, every one of them. And I'm always prescribing mushrooms, MDMA, Acid...If I'd a done for a profession what I already do as a hobby I'd be rich. Damn Damn Damn.
