farewell, basket case

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2002.06.30

So, Brazil has won the cup. Good for them.

It's the end of the month, which is traditionally moving time in Canada. One of the apartments in a building a block away from mine is obviously becoming vacant; the apartment seems to have been emptied out, and someone's put the word "BYE" up in words 40 cm tall.

It makes me wonder if they mean to tell the city goodbye, or just the neighbourhood. Knowing that so many people are fleeing BC (Basket Case), I somewhat suspect it's the former.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
