Diana Krall has this great song - Autumn Leaves. It's nice. Today reminds me of that song. I play it over and over in my head. It's cool, there are still leaves on the trees and plenty on the ground. When it is cool like this, the air seems cleaner somehow.
Wednesday was elections here in Ontario. We re-elected a party that lied, broke promises and gave millions of dollars away in "grants" to their cronies. How bad is it when that was our best option?
This election also included a referendum question about the voting process. We voted against electoral reform. It costs less, it means fewer seats and it means that government won't be divided or side-tracked by the voices of the few just because their representative showed up for work. Can you tell I support the decision.
Gotta go. I'm walking today with my girlfriend. Can hardly wait to hit the pavement.
Talk soon!

Factory Grind
I just logged off after doing some work for my old company and thought I had better check in. I'm in a cafe in small town, Ontario, listening to a nice variety of music and sipping a Chai Latte. I'm not really a cafe crowd person. Well, in fact, I'm not really a crowd person at all. If I were here without my computer I would feel completely out of place. What a geek! I think.
The name of the cafe is called Factory Grind. It used to be an old shoe factory that has been renovated and re-opened as a cafe. Brick walls, tall ceilings, poor lighting, but great atmosphere and wonderful music. I know the new owner because she buys her coffee from the place where I work. At this moment she serves only about 4 kinds of our coffee but I'm going to try and talk her into introducing a new flavour each month.
OK - now a kid is slurping his hot chocolate. Sounds like an asthmatic gasping for air. Hmmmm.
The owner is behind the bar shooting us looks. Time to close. She needs some rest. She's been trying to stay open until 9 at night but by the time she cleans up and goes home it's 10 or 10:30 then she's back in at 5:00 Not enough time for life in between. I don't know how she does it!
Anyhow. I'd better go and let her close up and get some rest.
Night friends!
