well, how to begin
the summer, so fleeting, the essence of life, freedom and oppertunity.
A new, inspiring, exciting ________. so many amazing things, the life
force is still alive and well, in case you were wondering. lets
seeeeee,
it all began on a rainy May night, the car was just out of the shop
(the 90 toyota tercel i bought off my brother for 200$, put all new
brake and gas lines )(hard brake lines)) and 4 new brakes, a new gas
tank, ascending unit, belts, air filter, an oil change, windshield
wiper, 56000 kms, a Pura Vida sticker, one Craig G, a jar of pickles
from montreal, a green cooler, 2 bikes, a lefty cannondale jekyll
(((my old bike that was bought and sold a dozen times throughout our
circle of friends and is now craigs))) and a GUB from China, custom
built from the ground up by yours truly ((((in china)))), a djembe,
river clothes and dry bags, a thousand and one cd's, what drugs?,
500$, a job, maybe a place for one of us, and ahead of us, friends and
family spread out across this great land, (((((strong and free
right?))))) and the WILL.
It was a great alingment of Intent and Will, executed with impeccible Timing.
So it began at 8:30 pm on, as i said, a rainy night.
"Craig, we're going. Now. Be ready. Overboy OUt"
"Roger OB, Im ready. K-dog out"
Vroom.
And then we drove. We drove to Pembroke, with a quick stop off at my
old house to bang on Travis' windows and yell "TRAVIS! COACH WANTS YA!
TRAVIS!! COACH WANTS YA!!" (he always used to take 5 min to wake up,
and hed come out in a trance and say hilarious things and would never
rember it in the morning) .
Then it was off to Pansy Patch Park where we parked and went to check
out the caboose, ooooOOOOOOooooo the spooky burned out old dining car
on the tracks in the woods. This place was creepy, then it was back in
the car, to the treehouse in pembroke
We park, walk out to the treehouse, over the creek bridge (a railroad
tie) and through the path. On the way back to the car there is a
police truck behind our car, a cop circling tiny tim (the car) with
his flashlight, and 2 more cruisers pulling in. sweet. I had known
that the SUV cop had seen us at pansy patch earlier, so I knew he is
suspiscious.
Well, when i am facing a pintch, I use one of my backups. Quickly and
With Confidence.
I walk straight towards them, they see us, walk over.
"IS THIS YOUR CAR?"
"AFFERMATIVE, ROBOCOP."
(joke)
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"MEETING YOU MOTHER, ROBOCOP"
(another joke)
actually, I just told him we haven't done anything wrong, and he said
"Thats my job to find out"
so I told him to do his job.
Eventually he did, after running our names, craigs having a red flag,
his infamous Warrant for Arrest in Quebec, as a result of the G7
summit of the americas in Que City (see RIOT story)
He explained his whole story, which I quite enjoyed, I could see my
reflection in the cops' boots by the end.
And then we drove.
ontario, sleeping in the car where we can, a night in the tent,
stopping at an abondoned farmhouse in the praries
I must put this on hold for now. To be Continued.
