manikins Rue Saint Hubert Montreal

The manikin in the top photo looks tired. She put her hair down. A sign indicates specials. She seems to be asking, "What do they want?"

It seems people want several things: first, to have sex with you. If that doesn't work, the person wants to convert you to his or her religion. If that doesn't work, the person wants you to join their cause, become a member. There's a cool Betty Boop cartoon "Wanna be a member.." Then of course, there's the evangelist, who suddenly had an insight and wants to share it with the world. The evangelist feels an almost manic compulsion to share the insight with the world, because the insight would help people find happiness, health and prosperity. It's so exhausting to endure such trips.  Sometimes Lohbado felt like reaching out and giving the person a pinch to find out if the person is for real, or just a bad dream.

slush and hail

Crazy weather, first it's ice cold, then it snows, then the temperature goes above freezing. Suddenly, what the hail! Strong wind and squalls in Montreal.

Put on your warm winter coat and dream about summer.

Montreal snow

Avenue de Kent

Van Horne

I finally got out the camera and took a couple pictures this morning. Just going outside to face the piles of snow requires effort. Most sidewalks in this neighborhood are buried under snow. Good luck on the side streets. There's enough room for one vehicle to drive through. Forget about trying to park; it's next to impossible, unless you own a plastic hut or paid to have your driveway plowed.
