Beware!  The Borrower.  :) Here's a Native superhero comic character and the message has meaning.   There are a few natives @ KMHC who like to borrow stuff and if you’re lucky you may get paid on cheque day.    ;) A funny story - During the summer whenever I saw the tenants sitting on the park benches deep in conversation I’d try to sneak up and scare one.   I’d get a laugh watching their reaction and they knew I meant no harm.   It’s was great at first nobody was immune I was like a cat approaching its prey I moved with stealth and cunning until the tenants got wise.   Using their Indian skills they would stake out the area for sneaky Tony and one night my shenanigans backfired.   I was about to pounce on one unsuspected tenant when suddenly I was attacked from behind.   I didn’t see tenant Linda creep up from behind and poke me.    Scared the shite out me!……yep paybacks are a bitch.   The group of tenant elders...

I have a confession…the outside area of KMHC I call "the courtyard" is not real, it's next to a garbage shed and a parking lot. This spot has three old wooden benches, dried up wooden planters that desperately need refinishing and a tree rooted out.  I figure by naming it a courtyard the readers would be impressed.  Actually it's purpose is a sitting area for tenant native elders but that's not always the case.  Anyway here's a GIF of me taken a few weeks ago near the benches revving up the SoBi bike aka the blue Harley Davidson before a spin.   Thank you neighbouring tenant.  :) YES! Summer is over I can feel it in the air and that's ok.  I'm looking forward to the cool crisp weather and the most wonderful time of the year....Halloween.  :) Click out the link below for more pix and a video http://tinyurl.com/j6hohm2 Also please check my previous blog post it's been revised for more clarity.  tk

Warning! Non-Graphic Content. *Revised Post*  Take a look at the pix above is it offensive and does it merit calling the police?  I think not.  Last night @ 11 pm there was a knock on my door the police were responding to a complaint filed by HSC Ingrid Nosel about pictures taken yesterday afternoon of her van pulling out of the driveway.   At the time I notice her driving recklessly around the block a few times then stopped her van in the middle of the road with the emergency flashers on, got out and approached two female tenants sitting in the courtyard.  Later the tenants said Ingrid used my full name & asked odd questions about me and looked for witnesses but to no avail.  I asked my fellow tenants what was her demeanor like they described it as paranoid and erratic.   I figure Ingrid's next move is to get staff to check the security cameras which will capture nothing then call the cops.   These were my options: 1.   Say my c...

For the past 5+ years tenants have limited internet access in the community room.   I mean limited in the true sense of the word.   Some years ago there was a notice posted on the wall tenants who have internet in their unit were banned from using the KMHC computers which I thought was stupid.   Then there was another notice posted on the wall about internet trolls and UNH’s used Wikipedia.   I thought Really!! They are using that website as a reference. :P  Nobody paid any attention to the asinine notices and moved on.   There was a few times when I helped a fellow tenant search for general information by using a reputable search engine. Today there’s a notice on the community room door UNH’s has discontinued computer and internet access to tenants.   From what I’ve witnessed the regular group of tenants use the computers to play games, check their e-mail or look up information.   I doubt anybody went on porn and inappropriate chat site...
