Ah, good ol' Marpole. Lemme guess: the Husky? Or that little grocery on 70th between Oak & Granville? I miss Marpole. I especially miss when nobody knew about 'Cravings', and the Coast Hotel was where airline pilots went, to not drink too much. And the White Spot was across the street. > It started sprinkling just after I left home and then the deluge hit. > I got soaked through in three blocks. > Bad day for spun sugar frames. My ride home from work today (and to the Money Mart at Knight & 41st to cash my subsequent cheque) was punctuated with in-the- kisser headwinds. Ugh! But it beats not riding at all. And it sure beats stantion-hanging on a crowded rush-hour bus. I retained my $4.oo carfare, anyway. I resorted to the 26" granny for a brief moment today, crawling up beside Clark Park. I recall how minutely discrete thunderstorms would crawl up the Fraser River, past Marpole, and up toward Port Coquitlam where they belong :-) cheers, Tom -- -- Powered by FreeBSD Above address is just a spam midden.
