Sending Chris Back to New Zealand.

August is fast dwindling and we've sent off a roomie, Chris Carr, back to the wilds of New Zealand. GodSpeed my friend. If you ever need anything, you can always call.

Funny how living with good roommates can make you think back on the bad ones with a little more vehemence instead of the other way around, ie the bad ones should make you appreciate the good ones. We tried as much as possible to appreciate Chris before he left though and the piles of beer cans hold our secrets!! That and a bucket bong on the table. hahahaha Trailer Park Boys and Bucket Bongs, I think I've done well to give Chris a fully Canadian experience or two before he left.

During our travails, we happened on this Family Mart. Here's Chris in the store. Sharp eyes on him as he pulled this out of the magazine rack and wondered if pussy was one of the 'sexy items' they were selling! We had actually walked out when I realized that Chris had been posing with a unique ashtray just a day or two before and this would be the perfect accompanying photo, so he was kind enough to slip back in the store for the photo-op.

A few days ago, Chris took me for a quick stop at a nearby pub. It's across from Providence University at the bottom of Shalu hill, and this is the proprietor, Mina on the right. She seemed a good sport and I wanted a shot of Chris the defector with her and her unique ashtray. Chris was game enough as he's always up for a laugh.
I'm not sure what she whispered in his ear after that, but the stunned look says it all.
Take Care Chris, you will be missed.
