Spring has sprung

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.03.30

This afternoon, I went for a good walk. It started when I noticed that there was a fly buzzing around the window sill. For those of you reading this from outside of Canada, Spring is not signified by the return of as poetic a visitor as swallows. No, we get insects.

But that's fine, because it means that Winter are over.

Anyhoo, I'm in (another) new neighbourhood this Spring, so I decided to go check it out. I wandered through the residential neighbourhood to the west of Yonge St between Eglinton and Lawrence, and discovered quite a few unique homes in the mix. I checked out some of the stores on that stretch of Yonge street, and stopped in at the 'all natural' butcher where buy all of our meats for some ground beef.

Then when I got home, my PC wouldn't work. I opened it up, and found that the power socket on the motherboard looked... cooked.

So now I'm screwed.

I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end.
