I'm not going to think about it too hard.

The upstairs neighbour, she's been on a bit of a Manhunt. She's embraced her drinking, and wanders the street looking for people to talk to, share a drink with, hang out.
Which has resulted in some improbably house guests.
Her latest, some long-haired thin legged older hippy type, and so I ask in that open-ended sort of way ..."Soooooo", hoping for an explanation, but she just changes topics, "a friend..." and waves her hands and it off.
I'm working my share of doubles this week, more than I'd like, but you gotta love the circus when you get home.

Out, this morning, up and at-em for a pack of fags. Walking home, a red light on Baker. It's early, no traffic about, look up the street, look down the street - there's no cars. So I walk across.
Upon the other side the Bylaw officer is emptying meters and has undertaken to take offence at my crossing a clearly uninhabited street against the light. "I hope your driving is better..." he says, then explains that I crossed against the light.
He's my age.
I just look at him.
The perfect Bylaw officer, understands the rules but not why they're in place. Understands the implementation but not the spirit or the intent.
I think to reply, but it's beneath me. These are the people that would come to a red light in the desert, no cars for a 100 miles in any direction, yet would wait out the red light.
I'm not these people and I've been cursed with a modicum of good sense.
