There's something happening with this blogger
server so I lost my last entry: it didn't get posted
and I didn't feel like typing that stuff all over again.
Basically it was about 7-11, fat people and
granny sound asleepin the back seat of a car.
So I hope this gets through to all you
guys out there waiting breathlessly to hear about the
next exciting thing in Regina.
A bit of good news: I'm employed, twice.
And Giant Robot IS available here at some
specialty book store downtown.
So it ain't all bad.
Germans. Germans love to come here, to
"da frontier town off da Canadjan prairee"
They come in droves to live on vacation ranches
that teach you to be a cowboy: ride horses, sleep
under the stars, feed cows, brand cows, etc.
Germans are also fascinated by the natives here
and love to come and "live the aboriginal life".
Hunting, fishing, sleeping in tipis, sweat lodging,
going to powwows.
Germans.
There are two very strange statues here that I
should have mentioned at the very beginning.
Sir John A. Mcdonald and Confucius.
Sir John resides in the park downtown.
Confucius is in front of city hall.
Why? Don't know.
Sir John is holding up a scroll. But it looks like
he's offering the people of Regina a huge
fatty, spliff, joint.
Quite ironic as Reginans are not known
to be laid back at all.
I'll try to get a pix of that joint-proffering John A.
for youse guys.
Yes,yes, yes, pix comin' soon. Just been so
busy, with two jobs and dodging beer bottles
being thrown outta cars.
A couple of nights, I think I heard gun shots.
Nah. Probably just firecrackers.
People here just knife each other to death.
I passed by a really depressing garage sale.
The owner was a VERY young mother sitting
on the porch, head in hands, looking distraught.
The kids came out and sat beside her.
It looked like she had to sell everything she
owned. Very sad. I almost wanted to buy something
but the only thing that was appealing was the kids'
bike and a Commodore 64. I didn't want to take
the kid's bike and I couldn't take the Commodore back
with me.
Maybe I'll buy some pants tomorrow.
I've been wearing the same clothes everyday here in
Regina. I'm starting to like it. I mean, of course I do
my laundry, it's just that I brought so little with me in
the way of summer clothing that I have to wear
a cycle of 4 t-shirts and I pair of pants over and over
again. I mean, I'm no slob, you know.
