nose hill is burning

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Calgary, 2002.04.14

The papers say that the huge pall of smoke that appeared over the city yesterday was half of Nose Hill burning! I'm not sure that it was the area where Charlie and I had been in the morning, but wow. Metre high wall of flames all along the perimeter.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
