Jack the Spy, and Arch Criminal!

No energy to blog. But yesterday was a sunny day, and since I had finished my work, I could go out before getting stuck with my taxes.


Old guys on their Harleys are sure signs of spring in Montreal.

I liked this more improvised form of transportation: a mutated bike/shopping cart. Just perfect for scavenging returnables.


They were filming in a French Language used bookstore I sometimes visit. Now it looks like it's in the Middle East, or maybe Turkey or India:


I was such a nice day, I decided to sit in the park and sketch. I'd bought my usual evening cheap beer, and because the park was empty, I gave into temptation, cracked it open and enjoyed a sip.

Immediately, five police on bicycles swooped in and wrote me up. This lousy drawing cost me $141 dollars:


Could have ranted, because they weren't so quick to show up when people were fighting above a bookstore where I used to work, and certainly didn't give a damn about the three bikes I've had stolen, but there's hardly any point, and one doesn't want to get into trouble.

Speaking of filming, out my window I snapped these suspiciously long haired guys below dressed in dark colours (the spring uniform of all film types, see above), as they were plotting what to do in that schoolyard, even as innocent children played behind them.



But the weather report calls for about 10 centimeters of snow by the afternoon, so things might look pretty different before this day is over.
