“The Guy With The Canada Symbol”
We live rurally and still take our garbage and recyclables to a “transfer station” – better known as The Dump!
As the attendant approached my car, I observed a man of my vintage. Like me he had neatly trimmed white facial hair, and like me, walked with that deliberate pace of ensuring that each foot is firmly planted before lifting the other one.
I didn’t know him, but he did look familiar. So I asked “do you live near here?” He indicated a location within a few miles of us. Turns out we have been neighbours for three decades. I asked his name. And I realized that it was a name that I was familiar with in the community.
I introduced myself and he exclaimed “Oh, you are the guy with the Canada Symbol!”
We have a reputation for the big flag which we painted on the end ouf our barn.
I AM A PATRIOT CANADIAN, and I am so proud to be recognized as such …
Happy Canada Day!!
