Freeman up-dates

I went to see Freeman today; all by myself! I let myself in after knocking a few times on the door. He was lying down on the couch and couldn't hear me calling until I got in the kitchen and almost yell his name. He seems to be kind of OK. Still thinks that he is allowed to drive though. I told him... Sign in to see full entry.

Views on the world

We had a very nice diner last night with my best friend (we've known each other since kindergarten and even though our views on many things diverged with time, she is still my best trusted friend) and her husband. They are both high officers in the CND army and as such have seen things that very... Sign in to see full entry.

Shooting guns and salivating dog

It's hunting season in the Hills (that's how "we" locals call the Gatineau river Valley)! I can hear shooting around here every day, from dawn to dusk. And of course, the deer population has double on our land. You see, the deer know that we ain't hunters, so they all come to aggregate on our land.... Sign in to see full entry.

USA crisis and mine!

I'm sure a lot of people breath easier now that we know McCain is out of the picture! But I would not want to be in Obama's shoes: war crisis, economic crisis maybe social crisis.... About social crisis; I went to see Freeman with a neighbour yesterday and as we were walking in his driveway towards... Sign in to see full entry.

False Identity

My men left last night after diner for another week in the city. We have not seen Freeman all weekend and I think I know why: "the Boss" (That's how he calls my Mann) was there. It also looks like I passed the exams for the gvnt job. So, they'll call me when there is an opening, or so they say. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Guns and cars,,,

Wasn't it nice? To wake up this morning and realized that you have one more hour of laziness in the bed! I love this time of the year. Or more exactly, this day of the year! We talked briefly to a neighbour who told us that Freeman no longer has guns, because the gvnt came to pick them up: he did... Sign in to see full entry.

The Saga continues...

A neighbour and I went to see Freeman yesterday. He says he's fine, that he mist his appointment with the doctor on Wednesday because of the snow (the guy who was supposed to pick him up was unable to go up his drive way), and that HE was going to drive himself to the hospital for his check up! When... Sign in to see full entry.

"Harold and Maud", Freeman style!

Freeman's updates: I have not seen him for two days now! Wednesday, we had a snow storm, so he didn't move from his house. Neither did I. And yesterday, I was in town. But the neighbour told me that he saw Freeman driving to my house. The pooor "dear" he called his bro. to let him know that he had... Sign in to see full entry.

Guelou-guelou!

Beautiful sunny day today! Quite a sight with the sun reflecting on the snow! But, it's supposed to all disappear soon: 8oC today and 15oC tomorrow. Some years back (about 7 or 8) the municipality, working with the Québec gvnt, participated in an experiment to re-introduce wild turkeys in these... Sign in to see full entry.
