On July 2, I was ready to go to sleep in my tent when I heard two people near my tent.
They said - Hey man? What this guy is doing is cool!
I went outside to investigate and it was two boys from Ontario.
They were two brothers of the age of 16 and 18.
One of them was named- Mike.
They told me that their parents are in the Beaverbrook Hotel and they’re visiting from Ontario.
They both have ADHD!
One of them told me with tears in his eyes that in Ontario
his friends call him Psycho Mike because he has ADHD!
How many times have I heard this sad story?
I told the young man that he wasn’t stupid and just to hang on!
People with ADHD are very intelligent.
All they got to learn is concentrate and keep their mouth shut and listen.
Easier said than done but it can be done!
My God! The hot sun of July came in with a vengeance.
I was hot and craved for an cold ice cream.
I went to a store and asked for two scopes.
I almost drop dead once they told me that the price is $2.50.
During the hot summer months, I sure miss the ice cream at the
Pumpkin Patch in Grand Bay!
Now, there’s a place
that you get your money worth for a ice cream!
After 8 days, I decided to move my tent.
It left a big dry circle on the lawn.
What a terrible mess!
I told the Sargeant At Arms that I was going to spell a big ADHD on the front lawn.
Some people called it my ADHD flying saucer.
My god? It don’t take long for the grass to dry up in this weather.
Once I moved the tent? It
showed the evidence what my tent is doing to the lawn.
It’s doing damage big times.
It didn’t take for two strangers to approached me and told me to get a job!!!!
I told them that I was very sorry for the damage but the Government haven’t came to chat with me!
So what else can I do???
I am staying put and that is that!
When you do a protest like this?
You have your ups and downs.
After the two men left the area?
One woman who’s a teacher bought me a nice Tim’s Horton
coffee!
We knows that there’s a problem with Ritalin in the
school system and told me not to quit!
Continue to fight!!!!!-- she said!
30 minutes later, two guys
showed up and asked me what I was doing?
I explain to them that I was educating the public on ADD/ADHD!
Once they told me that they were from Ontario?
I always say - Ohh??? You’re escaping scars??
You should look at their faces after I tell them that phrase.
It’s pretty funny!
Anyway, one guy was very interested in my protest but the other guy looked more interested with the women walking by on the streets.
After 15 minutes of debating the issue.
The other guy asked me if I
wanted a joint?
I told the guy that I don’t like
joints.
He asked me if I had any money?
I told the guy that I had very little.
At the end, he gave me 20
bucks and told me to enjoy a few cold beers.
That evening, I decided that I deserved a few cold ones
because it’s been very hot and I did talk a lot in the hot sun!
I had rip jeans one and thank God for that because it was just like a air conditioner.
The wind went right through my jeans and it felt good!
Once in the bar, I noticed 3 guys sitting at a table so I asked them if I could join them and grab a seat.
Minutes later, the manager wanted to chat with me.
He asked me if I asked permission to sit down with those people?
I told the bartender that I did asked first but it was at that moment that I really found out that I was no longer in Saint John.
The Loyalist City is a Blue collar town!
People arrive in the bars and sits
anywhere they wish but this is a White collar town so things are different because of all the bureaucrats.
I drank three beers and I wasn’t really comfortable because I didn’t know anyone but there was a young girl who recognizes me as the protester and offered me a nice meal.
I told her to forget it because I was ok!
Sure was nice of her to ask.
Sure are fine people in
this City!
The next day, I bumped into a American.
I asked him where he was coming from?
I told me that he was coming from a very long way!
Once again, I wanted
to know which State?
He continue by saying that he
came from a very long long way!
At the end, he said-
I’m from California! Do you know where that is?
I played along and said- Really? You’re from Californie?
< Jethro style >
My God! That’s a long way!
He kept on telling me
that it was a long trek!
I opened my wallet and showed the show off GUY an article of me written in Sacramento
California.
In 1978, I rode a ten speed bicycle across the U.S..A.!
I showed him the article and said - Look what I did!!!!
I guess you are from a very far place.
I might add that I shut him up pretty good!
You should have seen the look on his face? It was funny and I
confronted MANY American on many occasions during the
hot summer months.
The American started this so call
helpful pill < Ritalin > and I wonder why?
Was it for big drug
companies to make a lot of money would it?
Of course it is and those poor little kids are paying the price!
I noticed that there’s many sad people on this planet and they all seem to be attracted to the Legislature.
I wonder why?
Could it be that the Government house is like a shrine?
A guy name John came around my tent and told me that he was going to lose his farm and
everything.
The guy bought tears to my eyes and I felt bad for the poor farmer.
I might these are strangers
but it look like they just wish to have someone to chat with.
I just happen to be there I guess?
That same evening, I noticed many people showing up with their fancy clothes.
It was a gathering for the class of 1953 from Fredericton High School. It was their 50th
anniversary.
One of them told me that it’s the
teachers who needs Ritalin.
I found that line pretty funny! Maybe this is what should be done in today’s world???
