Well, the high school is certainly a mess. I imagine there'll be quite some work to do cleaning it up before the new school year begins in two months. The science labs may need to be refurbished completely, possibly the cafeteria kitchen as well. I've offered my assistance in the event that outside contractors prove difficult to pin down, so we shall see perhaps during the next week whether I'll have a summer project - beyond setting four years of English curricula, of course.

In the meantime, however, my house is littered with machine parts and tools. I've returned a few things to where I got them, but with some others it didn't seem feasible. The dealership I borrowed a moped from has had its security completely disabled and windows broken, and no sign of staff, so putting it back would be a little like parking it in the middle of downtown with the keys in the ignition. Perhaps not the wisest course of action if I wish it to be returned to its legal owners.

I have never been so glad to be getting ready for work.

Today is Canada Day and the US plays in the World Cup, so it's double the celebration. I feel like Christmas came early.

Did you guys run out of food just as the city went insane or did you seriously find time to clean out the fridge? Anyway I got, like, milk and eggs and some vegetables and bacon and stuff, I'll probably make a potato salad or something later. And maybe a cake because we totally need cake after that.

Wow, the produce section at the shops is really dire, but I guess at least they didn't put all the prices up too. If I had a car and knew how to drive it'd be so tempting to go down to Salem or wherever and get a whole heap of food there that hasn't been all picked over and stuff.
