It's all down hill from here! That's right, it's the summer Solstice today! The longest day of the year. There was a time in my life when it was a big deal. My Hippy years. Overalls, harmonica in my pocket, hair everywhere and way too much drugs!

One Solstice I was so whacked on, I'm not sure what, I played a hand drum around a fire till dawn naked. So was everyone else so it worked out. Lotta hair! I used to live in Clinton BC with a little hippy chick. We had goats and chickens. One day she said I was Satan and left. I think we had a big party and ate one of the goats. I was so fucked up at the time I just might have been Satan. Now my idea of a party is too many cups of Jo and staying up past midnight!

The lovely Lisa was up and gone just after 2 am. I woke up for a second while she was dressing. I think I said "Have a nice day", but I might have dreamt the whole thing. I almost never remember my dreams. The lovely Lisa often remembers her dreams and tells me about them. They almost always end up with her being late for work. In my capacity as Gypsy Squatch, seer of the future I delved into her subconscious looking for the hidden meaning in her dreams. After much thought and consultation with the voices in my head I said " You don't want to be late for work?" The weirdest dream I ever heard was told to me by KM I don't want to embarrass anyone so I'll just use their initials. She told me that she dreamt Steven Tyler was living in her underwear drawer. Every time she opened the drawer he would sing the high part of Dream On! " What do you think it means?" "It means you're Whacka doodle doo."

So here on the longest day of the year I was energised and got a lot of piddly little jobs done and one big one and I found my drill. Okay, the lovely Lisa told me where I left it. I was looking for it for 2 days last week.I had to do my drilling and screwing by hand! Just like when I was single! Bada Bing, Double entendre intended. When of the mindless tasks I had to do today was taking back the empties. I should have given it a little more mind.I tore the giant bag as I was taking out of the truck and had $11.55 worth of mostly pop cans all over the parking lot. That was like 200 pop cans. I considered driving away but I was next in line. That's like winning the lottery at this place. You just dump your empties on the counter and they do all the work. So that's what I did $11 worth of scratch and sniffs for the lovely Lisa. Bingo and crossword. I like to give her ones that occupy her for a while. I hate those ones where you scratch 3 squares and you're a loser. I want the lovely Lisa to savour her loserness.

Next was the dump. I went home and loaded up the stuff that was going to the dump. It's half the price if you go after 2 so I had a grill Cheese sandwich for lunch. Then went to the dump with a load of old futons and broken plastic chairs. 85 kilos $17!!! Bastards!

I went over to North Van to visit Michele and bring back a couple of things she was giving to the lovely Lisa. A rack for the kitchen and a couple of plants. I'm not saying the rack isn't going to fit in our already stuffed house, I prefer to argue about it for several months before it ends up in the attic. A cup of coffee and a tour of her near empty house and I was off like a Jewish foreskin! Is that racist or anti Semitic or is it just a freakin joke!!!

Now it's nearly midnight and on the longest day of the year I write my shortest blog of the year. Ironic isn't it? Not only that I didn't take one single picture. That's why the pictures I put up don't go with the story.
That's all I've got
Till next time
Peace out Y'all
