Time for a haircut, head on down Vernon St. to the Gentleman's Barber.
A few chairs, retro old house, furnished with old postcards and photographs, retro barber accessories, it's the Gentleman's Barber.
He's good, it's not just the haircut, I could care less, but it's the lost Art of Conversation, he's Cold-Reading, raves about the Tobacconist in Edmonton, The Burlington, cuing a memory I thought I'd long forgotten, "You been?" he asks, we talk of the homelessness on Baker Street, the local reaction, they'll tolerate the vagrancy but start accosting the local youth with bad drugs and the local vigilantes will form a posse and help you out of town, other things, the many and varied topics of indifferent conversation, it's the Gentleman's Barbers...

Thought it was a squirrel...had seen it, a couple of times, on the stump, rolling in his good fortune, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, occasional sundried cranberries or raisins.
But the forest is a competitive place, and the squirrel was usurped by a charming (pair) of blue jays.
After a couple of perplexed days of checking the guest house he found me on the lawn in front of my tents, now he (?) follows me about, begging for more nuts whenever he finds me. His partner, furtive, always a bit back in the shadows watching, there's a family, nest, no doubt, further back into the trees, but I've noticed he's clever, varies his route back every time...

Another promising movie, which I'd love to see but it may have to wait until I vacation to the big city...I haven't seen a movie forever, and the list keeps growing, the indy/cult films don't always make it out here and seldom are they on my schedule...

The Free Ride Ends. A week with the daughter, then move out.
A final view of the woodshed:
I'll miss it, like I miss the old restaurant or the nephew. But it's time to fill the void with new things and experiences...my things and experiences...
