July 5, 1998 - Okay typing furiously on Internet. ICQ fun! Boy world is large.........
July 10 - Cop being sentenced for sex assaulting nine year old girl...... although he had obvious warning signs - adopted children, one of whom accused him of doing similar thing, coaching little league, none of the guys that were called as character witnesses could believe it, although they investigate sexual assaults...... all white males from police force although metro Toronto's population mostly non-white now....! Also girls from b-ball league cute blondes who didn't have a clue why he was being so nice to them while their parents were so busy......... assault victim's impact statement where she said she had nightmares, had to move bedroom, and parents had to put up fence and not have her have male teachers.....
July 12, - 18 year old died during car chase by OPP, in small town --- cops did know who was driving the unregistered vehicle....... townsfolk said it was unnecessary...... went to scene, woman in make up all ready for the TV cams - sorry none were there!
Wife of murderer-embezzler-and-possible-father-to-his-own-daughter's-kids Al Walker on Radio whining about media attention....... Although she won't admit it Star did cover the story when she was asking for media attention when her daughter went missing.
July 16 - drove to see man who had all indigenous plant nursury. First saw a fox running along the main street in Cambridge, with a squirrel in its mouth, then by a trailer park I saw a very fat man with long white hair and beard with little wire rim glasses........ and just wearing black pants and suspenders........he had pendulous tits covered in white hair......... aieeee!!!!! Now I know why Christmas is in December!
The gardener, Ken Parker, has a nursery on the Six Nation Reserve near Brantford, Sweet Grass Gardens, with all sorts of native plants trying to recreate original settings in North America.
July 18 - Went to turtle races - on way up saw turkey buzzard! On way back saw little kit, half grown fox! Next to the pond where I went one bright February morning for a 37 year old who had thrown himself in. The pond looked even gloomier now that it was shrouded in algae and the trees were in full foliage - the bench that he had left his things on before jumping in was dedicated to the memory of someone.... by the way that it was written I wonder if it was a suicide too.
July 26 - Saw my old pal Gwen Jacob, (pregnant too!) at Hillside festival..... she walked bare breasted home one July day in 1991..... touching off a major legal battle, which allowed Canadian women their long-dreamed of right to walk downtown without a shirt on. Pregnant again. By herself as far as I could see, except for her little boy......
July 28 - Bat! Flying around downtown Strathroy - two boys chasing it. Fat old man in white shirt, suspenders, white hat who is occupied in sitting in different places around town helps them to knock it down with a big candle on a stick.....
Allegedly two 14 year olds had been hung upside down as part of a joke.. hmmm.... by men in their 20s. One boy was spanked with a rope on his bare bottom then his pants were burned by a welding torch .... first police officer wanted to consider it as a frat boy joke.... owner complained and another detective charged them with sexual assault among other things.....
July 30 - Went shopping for camera with bitter, depressed 15 year old on Paxil happy pills which did nothing to abate her impressively relentless cynicism.
July 30 - Ron Hawkins and Rusty Nails two other bands in Guelph for 3 bucks! In an old cinema that had been converted into a club, walking into it I remember the last movie I saw there in 1985, Amadeus - I remember tearing my gore-tex jacket on a seat....... before that I kissed Jill in 1981 watching the Time Bandits........... now there's a banner near it that says Lick, Shoot and Suck, I think for tequila.......
July 31 - Now having to endure the barbs of my intriguing friend from south of the Border who is reading this even as we speak -
Aug - John Southworth yelling "Shut the fuck up" to groupies, if you can call them, gossiping loudly in front of stage. They ignored him. Jaymz Bee at show. You can't go anywhere in Toronto without seeing Jaymz Bee.
Saw Ken Thompson, (not the press billionaire) who told me once he sold cheese to Ken Thompson (the press billionaire) who argued with him about the price. Ken was planning on taking off with his dog in a trailer or whatever you'd call it on the back of his truck. He was telling me he was going to do the exact same thing this time last year. Ken is still working on his degree in Psychology. He is 38. He reminds me of me.
Sept - visiting the trial of Helmut Oberlander, part of a Nazi unit that killed civilians during the war. He could be deported - one of his supporters handing out photocopies of a Sun article slugged 'Canada's Jews have declared war on the federal government.", about Jewish community demands that they prosecute war crimnals. He was saying "Hier ist was sagen die Juden, die Juden" (Here is what the Jews are saying). I have held the door for Oberlander........... reports from another man from his unit was that he was nice and helped save his life.......
Sept. 6 =`Went to visit Kase Klevering in jail today. It's the third time he's been busted on cultivation charges....90,000 dollars worth and he escaped custody twice, once in the field and once at the police station. Sad thing is he was preparing to emigrate permanently back to Holland but he went back for one more kick at the can.
Even more now than then
So I went to Japan, Thailand and Malaysia... now must get this up to date.....
Get to Bangkok, walk out into black sauna, cab costs more than I'll pay again.... looking for guesthouse in Chinatown, down many alleys...mangy cats dogs, stop one fellow who gets into cab with us, carrying take home.... after I'm there for a while, I pull up beside other van full of Europeans.... we do have funny noses.....
Dumpy hotel got out of guide book....did have a lovely view from rooftop cafe.
