Our fridge is covered with other folks' poems...once they are up there, I cannot take down these little pieces of those I love. One thousand days ago is a line in a poem from the fridge...one thousand days ago was October 21, 2003, if my rusty math is right. ... I had been in Nanaimo for one summer....we were renters on the "right side of the tracks."
This was our view in the evenings...
This was our view in the mornings... One thousand days ago, we had deer and raccoons in our yard. Now, you all know what we are chasing out of our yard! One thousand days ago, I had a dog, a toyota corolla, a slimmer body, oodles of energy and a super annoying renter in the downstairs suite. We had horrible carpets, we had a landlord who couldn't be bothered, we had a mountain in our back yard. We had a short walk to the beach, where the dog was not allowed, and to Sprinkles Ice Cream Shack, where you can buy an ice cream cone for your dog. One thousand days ago, we were minutes from Neck Point Park and Piper's Lagoon, a short drive from the best grocery store in town and the best Pub(Longwood) and a short walk from the worst coffee shop. One thousand days ago, I had not seen a giant mouse or a small rat just run through the house(you may have heard me shrieking just now! The police will be arriving any moment, if my neighbours truly care!) , though I do recall one of the biggest, hairiest wolfie spiders over my head sometime around one thousand days ago in that house...also while I was on the computer! Well, enough of memory lane...I have a giant mouse or a small rat to take care of ...damnit...I hate them little suckers. It's almost enough to send me to the SPCA for another kitty(indoor only), though I am not really ready for that, either.

Once again, you have dazzled me with your photos. Your words were lovely, too. One thousand years ago....I once had a mountain in my back yard, too, about a thousand years ago.
I always love your photos. And I love your updates on crack heads...it's always entertaining. Hopefully, they will be gone from your neighborhood soon.
one thousand days ago i was a newly wed and was preparing for endearing perversions first gig.
Cara, thanks for remembering with me
