Farmers market

Did you know that this is chamomile?



I had no idea.



This plant grew in the schoolyard at my elementary school. I used to pick the flowers and crush them because I loved the smell.

Post office

Pictures cannot describe the New York post office experience.

I went today to pick up a parcel.




Note: About fifty people squashed into a long line in a small room, all disgruntled. Fluorescent lighting, no air conditioning.



Scratched bullet-proof plastic. Toddler underfoot. Mismatched, confusing signage. Crackling microphones.



And always a sad and/or sordid story of some sort: today it was an illiterate middle-aged woman begging unresponsive customers to help her fill out a form for a money order in exchange for $5.

IT IS HELL ON EARTH!

But why?

This is a typical Canadian post office:



Just sayin.

Envelope!!

So exciting to get an envelope from my friend Craig, who inspires minds at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.



Inside:






















Mysterious photocopied book page.

About a skorl encounter!



!!!!!!!!

Also:



Curlywurly [sic] squirlies [sic]!

This must be British.



Hmm. Are the squirlies curlywurly because they were squarshed by a car? Greg and I devoured them (it?).

Thanks Craig!! This made my day—nay, week!—nay, MONTH!!!!
