Today I went to the Regina Dragon Boat Festival.
Man, what a jock fest. There were quite alot of people
but you know they were just office workers dying for a beer.
The announcer constantly made references to beer and drinking.
Jokes like"lion dance" not "line dance". Whatever.
The typical Reginan Dragon Boater is (usually) white, middle aged
and overweight.

We were also treated to some white trash kung fu demonstrations.
Some white girl with feathered "demonstrating" traditional weapons style.
It looked like she was waving some pom poms in the air.

And check out some of the names of these dragon boat teams:

>>The Flying Fokkers
>>Oar Ang A Tang Gang-
>>Cyber Mullets
>>Dragon Our Assets
>>Dragon Our Buns
>>Crouching Rowers, draggin' boat
>>Dragon Our Cookies

Nice.

Also, Ronald McDonald was there. He seemed like the sleaziest Ronald McDonald
ever.
I also got some shots of people doing Tai Chi. It might look funny.

Tonight I saw for the first time, a harvest moon. This occurs early to late fall. As all the chaff
from wheat being cut in the fields pollute the sky and everybody suffers from allergies.
The effect is quite amazing, like the coming of the apocolypse. The sun is rusty orange
and gold. The moon is a hazy, pale, pale gold. Like the world is ending.
It was quite unnerving and beautiful at the same time.

Regina's only link to modern music KISS 92 FM died on Friday.
KISS 92 is a popular Canadian franchise radio station and probably kept teens and
preteens here hip to what was happening elsewhere. Not that they're not able to on their own.
But KISS 92 symbolized civilization (real civilization) to me.
I listened to it in Toronto, and I sometimes listened to it here. Well, actually, I woke up to it.
It was better than the others, at least.
KISS 92 FM is now "adult contempo" (do they still use that anymore?).
The new station is LITE92FM. Are they serious? You bet. I know, sometimes I think I
live in a badly written farce.

It's time to leave.
