A long read in many voices, a relief, after so many years of the internet, an abundance of stories, interpretations, many voices, very good.

My lack of internet is making me a little slow ... this, for the private finder, will be worth a fair bit money. And given the size of the debris trail and inaccessibility of the terrain there will be a fair bit left....

This is a short list of all the places that I've lived these past 6 or so years.
Prospecting, in the bush, camping by the highway, off on logging roads, in motels, with crazy and his every conspiracy theories in the NE of Calgary while I did construction, around Drumheller, Alberta, back in the bush, at the restaurant - with crazy again, and back into the bush, finally into that apartment in Bankview - then out of there, and in with that crack-addled waitress and her sex swing, and on various sofas and couches throughout the city, then finally to Nelson - not Nelson, not quite, the guest-house, the tent on the front lawn, the highway, beside, the logging cuts, a hundred places and turn-outs between here and there, then the staff accommodations at the pub - just a place, really, to store my clothes, then the basement - hell - at the pub, dire, bleak beyond description, the trailer, fine at the beginning but with winter closing in, the propane running out, ran out, cold, foot stirring the air beside the space heater, it ain't much but I'll take it, all my life has been preparing to live in the Kootenays, add hardship upon hardship, intolerable situation to intolerable situation and then learn to shrug it off, and finally now, here, the nicest place I've probably rented in my life, loft, modern, if you like that, I'll like that for the moment, shower, flush toilet, all en-suite, power, heat, I've no complaints for another 6 months. At which point I'd better be settled, really, better be a lot closer, this regular living is costing me dear in money that I can't at the moment afford...

It's like somebody heard of "Fury Road" - the amputee in the post-apocalyptic future - but never saw it, and thought to make their own version with mopeds, Mexicans, bad digital amputees..and the hot chick that wants to get with the cannibal that ate her limbs...
Bad. Really bad. They don't even bother to continue digitally removing the leg, just have her wear a prosthetic, and the missing leg varies from scene to scene. Starring Keannu Reeves who apparently has done nothing but eat twinkies since John Wick, and Jim Carrey as himself. Don't waste your time, life is far too short...
