Gladstone Day 2

 

 

Thoughts and observations from my second day in Gladstone.


A lot of nice friendly people.  I hope to meet the fellow from yesterday who grabbed my ear.  He said he lived by himself and seemed like he needed someone with whom to talk 


I had Tim’s and checked out the local Thrift shop.  So I can say I had Tim’s in Gladstone and Qongching this year.


Used my IPhone six to make a video essay of my drive here.


I’m inside.  Too cold.


The track in front of the co-op is for both CN and CP trains.  A local told me they are super long these days so the engine in the middle is not being pulled.


Jets Hat.  Quilt Hat. Co-op Hat.  Yellow Vest.

Camo hat.  Air Jordan Hat,  Vans Hoodie.  Pom Pom Toque. Pirates Hat. Canada Hats.  Canada not for sale hat.  Leafs Hat.  Newfoundland Hat.



Local school kids I see.   Uggh!


People look vaguely familiar.  Because I saw them before or because they look of a particular type?


It started raining outside.  Good thang, I’m indoors.


It’s snowing! It’s not sticking on the ground.


An old couple. I had to ask.  They were married 59 years.  As a bonus, the husband told me he was 89 years old.


This co-op sells liquor mart gift cards.  That doesn’t compute.  Isn’t that encouraging a person’s worst impulses?


The snow is falling but it is not landing.
