Today, I got really homesick again. The temperature here has dropped considerably as well.
One of my boring jobs is to type info into a computer recording applications that
people have sent in from all across Canada. Like most times, I get ones that are from
my stomping ground, Toronto. For some reason, I got really homesick looking at those
apps that had street names that I recognized. Some were even close to where I lived!
I might have passed these people on the street!
As I diligently typed all this in, my mind kept picturing the beautiful streets of Parkdale.
Resplendent in that late summer / early fall light. The warm temperatures, the people on
the street, the ease in which one could get a Roti. Or some Jerk Chicken.
I really miss my home.
Like I was saying, the temperature has dropped. The Saskatchewan Winter is coming.
Brrrr. Hate to talk about the weather, but that's the only thing interesting here.
Yesterday, I bore witness to a potential crime in progress. The buiilding next to ours had
a prowler situation and I saw some kid run out from a dark corner, jump on a bike and
take off. The bike had one of those lights that light up when you peddle!
It's good to know that prowlers here are environmentally conscious.
Now I know I've been here too long. People in certain stores are starting to treat me
like a regular. They say "Hi, how're ya doing, today?" They do the familiar nod.
They talk about the weather.
Yikes! Time to get the fuck outta dodge.
