farewell, basket case

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
