5 weeks. Mail, Colorado to Alberta
Postcards still arriving from Colorado. I hear it from friends. They were mailed 5 weeks, or more, ago.
Why is the mail service in such a state? I could have walked it quicker... Is anyone surprised that Canada Post is done? I don't believe it....

Bankers and Capitalism
It's funny, watch the video and see how he avoids taking any consequence for the actions of the bank, and always, always, the bank rewards it's own. You rob a bank, you go to jail. Bank robs you, they take your money and the whole judicial process helps them to get away scott-free...
Senator Elizabeth Warren does an excellent job of bringing common sense to bear on what is becoming an increasingly common trend towards unabashed greed and criminal behavior without fear of reprisal or consequence. We don't need hearings, we need a farmer. Every farmer knows when the pigs get fat you kill them. And it appears they're so fat now they can't move from the trough.

Giving Notice
I find the moment to tell the owner I'm leaving. Moving to BC. Not an easy thing, overdue, well overdue, life should move on and I've been stale here a while, my corpse stinking up the restaurant.
I'm nervous, of course, it's been 20 years, more, here in Calgary. Kids, work, obligations. But I give up. Finding the work-life balance here, it's impossible. Especially now. Always, as long as I've worked here, but even now more than ever. Time to leave. Nelson, well, not so sure. There are jobs, if you're willing to work there's always jobs, and you begin again to climb the ladder, I only want the struggle to be 8 or 10 hours per day, 4 days per week. A little more time for me and my devices. Who knows? They might pay off yet...
...and I'm closer to a lot of things...
Worried, of course, about finances, bills to be paid, accommodation, work, there's things to be worried about for sure. It's no picnic...but I dispel the clouds overhead with my sunny thoughts that life is an adventure...and, regardless, I'm due. I'm due.
He takes it well. Disappointed, but I think he knew it was coming. Maybe the nephew, maybe the abstracted way I went days without speaking. I've got nothing to say. I'm overdue. Time to go. And, the word is spoken, the countdown starts...
