I LIVE IN A BOX!!!!
Tags: 
inside the boxlife in a box
inside the boxlife in a boxLIFE IN A BOX
I live in a box
now isn't that sweet
with paper thin walls
to let out the heat
I'm on the third floor
I'm surrounded I fear
I hear every footstep
when my neighbours come near
But I do have a window!
it looks to the North
upon the brown rooftops
of old peoples homes
there's a tree in the way
so I can't see the river
but it's frozen right now
and might remind me to shiver
And this box has its merits -
there's nothing to do!
not like the old lady
who lived in the Shoe
I can sit in the sauna
or in the whirlpool
and when I've relaxed
play a quick game of pool
Yes, life in a box
can be good I presume
if you don't mind the strangers
in all the next rooms
you have to be quiet
you can't scream and shout
or the police will come
and toss you right out
No firewood to cut
no garden to tend
I guess it works out
for the best in the end
'cause I'll go to my desk job
and think hard all day
and when I come home
all I'll want is to play
Yes they've figured it out
all these big box designers
pack us all in
and give us reminders
that our life is so sweet
it's all milk and honey
So we're all energized
to make Them lots of money

Virginnia's Birthday
Virginnia had her Birthday party on Friday
- had her friends over for the night and then went to the community center in Yorkton on saturday for swimming and wave pool etc. I spent a few hours making her a cake (cherry) and decorating it. Here's a few pictures: We got about a foot of snow middle of last week and the sun has melted it down to about half that by now, but it appears as though it may be here to stay.

October Snow
The good woman caught some of the white stuff on video!
The ground be froze down to about 4 - 6 inches by now too...
'sposed to warm up some in the next few days, they say. I'll not hold my breath much.

Just got back from Saskatoon. Found a nice apt. in a 3 story walkup. Nice place by the North Saskatchewan River - about as close to the country as you can get in the big city. There is a sauna and whirlpool in the building as well as a games room and exercise equipment. Big change from heating with wood and playin 'Hide and Sneak' with Tadmorians(ie: retirees with nothin better to do than mess with your life) :-)
I'm not real big on apartment living, but if you want to live in a house in Toontown you either pay $1000/mo. or more if you can find one, or you live in the ghetto with the pimps an the crack Ho's...($550+ and up). Sooooo
I was just reading in the paper that Saskatoon has the highest "native" population in Canada. This was some guy who is running for mayor saying that we need to provide a means for young natives to succeed in society if we want this to be the greatest city in the country... Sounded like thinnly vielled bigotry to me. Like "whatta we gonna do about the Injun problem, har har". When will the 'friggin White Man' realize that it is primarily our attitudes towards these 'keepers of the land' and thier way of life, that is at the root of the problem. Hell No! Be like us or be underfoot! eh?...
For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
Please don't misunderstand. I have nothing against natives or any other race, creed or religion for that matter. Some of my best friends are native. I like to think that I understand and identify with thier situation. After all, I come from an Old Order Mennonite background. I find interesting parallels between our ways of life. In particular as regards the earth and the spirit.
But alas, I know nothing and can only hope that your comments will help to clue me in.
So, will this rant stimulate an interesting dialogue? I leave it to you.
