Aside from the rain in British Columbia, I keep noticing other things. This random input is not special or biblical but just a collection. Please skip this reading if you are hoping for substance. Where I am staying has a collection of DVD’s so I watched an old Star Wars film. I’m convinced that George Lucas is afraid of worms and gooey wiggly things with sections. If you watch any of his films, when the music is loud and drama prevails, there is a monster reveal that reminds me of worms.
I have been in receipt of comments on this blog in the Russian language so I can’t tell you what they want. Today I got a solicitation for affordable windows in Egypt. I only know this because it arrived in English.
Affection is a poetic song connection. Most marriages begin with two hearts in one home – Pam. There are two things we get everyday when we wake up – a chance and a choice – FB.
Do you overeat on vacation? I don’t mean to but, revisited the Parliament Cafe, known as the BC Legislative Dining Room. I used to take the kids there for an affordable meal and a chance to see famous legislators. Once I was there with some work friends during an ecology conference and, according to one friend, Joni Mitchell was there. It did look like her at a distance but I will always wonder. Anyway the place is now famous with reservations required – ba humbug. Still it was the best meal yet of this holiday. There are photos of leaders and I was seated by the Parliament of 1875-1878. There were about 24 smartly dressed MEN. The older they looked the longer the beard and only five younger fellows had but a mustache. They all wore full-on vested suits and the only man with no facial hair may have been folically challenged because he looked like an outsider. The table decor was one colorful Gerber daisy embedded on sea shells covered in water. There is much made in the building of the original native tribes which is familiar to me being from the Seattle area.
To me the interesting thing in BC is looking like the people in the neighborhoods but the flair is still London with more familiar language. There is a similar nonchalance in regard to mailing post cards with no special stamp and difficulty finding a post office. It reminds me of Prague only better in that regard. Although we look similar, these people have learned an entirely different political system and tax situation. They are truly hybrid Europeans and Americans. Left to do is the Royal BC Museum so I may learn something to add later…
