dark so early

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2002.01.06

It's 5:15 and there's still light in the sky. It was another really beautiful sunset tonight. But the fact that it's so early makes me wonder how folks cope with the 8 weeks of night in the far north.

At some point during my early tenancy, my front hall closet door started to fall apart. Two or three days ago, I put in word with the building management that there was a problem. Today the manager and I fixed the thing. Happily, I had the tools for it. But even better was that there wasn't any hassle. Ah, so glad to be out of large cities!

You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government. And, with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.

—George Bernard Shaw
