Damn… My Head,
How did I get here, where are my car keys and what is an Asian food truck.

Walking around Kitsilano In The Morning
Feeling poorly and failing recently with my attempts to make an appointment with a doctor, they are not taking any new patients I looked up a nearby Walk In Clinic and strolled over being sure, since it was Saturday morning to get there at 09:00 when they open.
When I arrived the young receptionist assured me that there was an open slot at 14:30and as I don’t yet have a government Medical Services Card, if a fee of C$125 was acceptable then I could walk back in at that time.
Currently the government sponsored medical insurance scheme costs C$37.75 a month. Next year there is no charge to users.

I opted to walk back on a quite street and encountered 5 young men who greeted me with good morning sir. Well I said I can tell by your accents that you are Irish, where are you from. Dublin they said, and I told them I am from Belfast and we chatted for a bit. I asked if they were moving here permanently but they said no they first had to return home to finish their university studies but they might move here as it is a beautiful city.
Saying goodbye I commended them for getting an early start to their day.
Oh no they said we are walking home from last nights outing.

So that merited a picture.

It’s Another Story, Redux
Another day walking to the beach again I saw my new acquaintance (from It’s Another Story) outside his home cleaning another car. He says he has 12 of them parked in a private garage. This time I also took a photo of his little dog TT. It was difficult to get TT to look in my directions as in fact he doesn’t have eyes.
Life Is What You Make It
He is frequently seated outside the Kitsilano Community Centre in a Vancouver suburb around noon.
When passing I inquired as to how he had succeeded in life to the point where most mornings he was sitting in a comfortable chair in the sun having a cold beer while most other people are rushing past prisoners of their mobile phones.
After a minutes reflection he allowed it hadn’t always been easy, there had been some rough patches but he stuck with it and here he is.
He agreed that if I stop by again he will share some history on his accomplishment.
Want what you have.
Do what you can.
Be who you are.
