The downtown corner of Ontario, Church and St. Andrew Streets in Stratford, Ontario as as good looking a public space as there is in Canada.  A county court house, a big bank, a very properous looking Masonic Lodge, a few good pubs and the Stratford Public Library from where I write.   A library whose internet sign up is a sheet you just put your first name on, then click through the reasonable acceptable use policy.   Civilized and free.

Your emails touched me.   The meat made the freezer - than you.   The kids are teaching grandma and grandpa about ska as we speak.  Jobs for today?  Hunt out the all Canadian music shop in a village to the west of here, watch the Bosox and Yanks at 4.  Maybe check out Indigena. Tough day.
