This morning on the 176 bus I met Ian. I hadn’t seen him for a long time. He said, “I have to go to Kanata to see my probation officer. I told you, I got six months probation with community service. I’m at the Oaks Residence where they have a ‘Managed Alcohol Program.’ I’m doing really well.”

“I can see that. You look good. You must be anxious to get back to moving furniture?”
“Yeah, going to work would be good.”
“How about plans to move back to British Columbia? Do you think that will ever happen?
“No, I like it here.”
“Even in this cold weather?”
“Yeah, I can put up with it.”

When I got off the bus this morning I was greeted, as usual by Two-four and Metro. Two-four said, “Hey, Joy was here yesterday. She’s using a cane now. She only lasted about ten minutes because of the cold.”
“It’s great to hear that she’s out of hospital.”
“Yeah, she’s looking good.”
Metro was wearing a balaclava. I asked him, “Are you going to rob any banks after your shift?”
“Yes, as a matter of fact, five of them: the Royal, the Imperial, BMO, TD and another one. I can’t remember the name.”
“Well Metro, you don’t need to know the name of a bank to rob it. Good luck with that.”
“Have a good day, Dennis.”
“You too Metro, Two-four. Stay warm.”

This is the first post I’ve read on your blog and I don’t know if I’m supposed to take this seriously. Metro seems so blasé about it. Oh well, I’ll have to read more posts then. 😀

Hi, Metro was joking about robbing banks. He was wearing a balaclava covering most of his face, because of the cold. He has served time in prison. I don’t know whether or not it was for robbing banks. Shakes, on the other hand, was a bank robber, drug dealer, and served fifteen years for murder. I’m never quite sure about the stories I hear. I just write them as I hear them. Thanks for your interest. ~ Dennis

It’s really great that you take your time to get to know these people. We also have our fair share of homeless people here but I never took the time to talk to them. I sometimes give away my food and drinks. But that’s just about the extent of my charity.
