    On my way in this morning I passed an ambulance with two people suited and masked up, going into someone's house with a trolley and a bottle of oxygen. :(

    Further down the path, I could see ahead a Yout' acting shiftily - I saw him jump down from someone's wall he was sitting on, then stand in the middle of the pavement with his hands out, jostling them and looking around. A young mother passed by him and he sort of seized up, guiltily I assumed. Up to no good, I figured. I get up to him and he approaches and I think "fuck's sake, here we go - what does he want?". "Scuse me?". Uh huh, I think - cigarette? money? lighter? - in these coronal times, I'm not sure I want to engage in any contact with this clearly-miscreant individual "What's up?" I ask. He stammers a bit and says "uhh... can you do me a favour?" here we go "Do i ..er.. have a spider on me?" wat? I laugh and he pirouettes slowly as I scan him up and down looking "I could swear I had a spider on me - I've been bugging out". "I think you're good, man - I don't see a spider". I laugh and think a bit about how prejudiced I'm getting. I've been in this city too long.
