I’ve started a number of pieces, dealing with The Crazy that I see every day, but they’re mostly still in progress so they’re locked away as private entries.

There’s one on the posters that I remove from the local library’s bulletin boards; religious screeds hand-written on index cards, homeopathic first aid courses, Reiki sessions, and so very much more. I need to start scanning in these. There’s another on the Canadian Society of Homeopaths and their rules for their members that seem to preclude them from practicing homeopathy at all. There are a couple link-based posts and some long-overdue images to be posted.

Every day I walk to work, and at least once during the walk I tend to encounter a group of people walking along shoulder to shoulder, taking up every available inch of the hallway or sidewalk. Typically these people focus only on maintaining eye contact between the members of the group, rarely looking ahead to see what’s coming. It’s a wonder that there aren’t more damaged lamp and sign posts on the streets of Halifax with these backwards-looking people.

I’ve stopped moving out of the way of these people, and I will knock one of them down sooner or later. Yesterday was close with a suit that didn’t seem to understand that I had nowhere to go to in the too-narrow hallway. He mostly got out of my way, but still got tapped pretty hard on his shoulder.
