Morning In Hope BC

Woke up too early. Charlie the owner of the Swiss Chalet Motel bade me good morning as I exited my room and I returned it. He talked to a hired hand shovelling gravel in the parking lot. He told him
I threw a rock through the window of a guy named Jeremy’s truck utter caca. He was on
the phone once in the office talking to a female mostly in Chinese but she occ. went into English and she said to him in English,” Your son will suck cock” He replied, “ My son will not suck cock”. He apologized to me after hanging up the phone. Walked a bit and went to the river by the KVR bridge picking up litter along the way. Saw a fish jump in the river. Ate some bananas and a kiwi enjoyed the mountain views some still have snow.

The unnamed park next to the bridge no litter in it! Wandered over to 508 Old Transcanada Hwy the closed for 7 years gas station. Wished the Asian guy with the plain black shirt a good day at the Internationale Hotel across the street but only because he was carrying a axe from one building to another in the complex there. They have invested in a new building and repaved the parking lot. The signs for Marlee’s Pot shop on their new fence disappeared. The ppl that put them there seemed like criminals to me.

Crow was on top of the gas station making its interesting sounds. I watched it for a couple minutes. Some guy White bearded long black hair with a jacket that had a 80 patch in a circle over the heart came walking down Water Ave from the campground area he waved a couple times crossed the street both ways several times with the traffic busier than usual. When he got within 5 ft of me I made a friendly greeting. He said hi said some gibberish about crows and fags. Told me he wanted to kill
himself and that he was so poor he could not afford a car mentioned an inability to find a job. As he walked away he yelled a bunch of stuff that made no sense.

Last night saw Khronos Security and a uniformed RCMP cruiser number UF000004 move a man sleeping in the foyer of the CIBC on at around 2:30 AM. Khronos security guy white and overweight and beard with thick glasses told me that the Mayor and his click wanted me out of town. The police officer said I could stay. Gee thanks and have a safe shift. I remember being in Whalley seeing a police incident and a woman came over and said to get out of Whalley. Police told her to shut up and told me I was welcome to stay. Fact was I had lived in Newton for years.

Tired from lack of sleep.

Why the Mayor say the same thing as Surrey drug addicts if this is true? Have seen the Mayor 13 times he called me a lowlife once while a tall policeman sat beside him at the sketchy Blue Moon cafe patio. Other 12 times he was civil. They are building another homeless shelter in town 15 beds by the hospital it is needed. But the current homeless shelter is the only place you see ppl openly using hard drugs in public in this town this month.
