Scientific Journal of a Renowned Anthropologist

9:29 AM - I arrive at Tim Hortons for my 12 o'clock shift

9:30 AM - I discover the civilization has advanced since my last observation. Wireless internet is now available. What could this mean to the traditional northern culture that resists such advances as the "box store"? Could this mean the breakdown of all life as they know it?

9:31 AM - Once I have recovered my composure at this discovery, I check my email and observe that I am not the only one with wireless high-speed at my workplace. Apparently this is a common phenomenon (note: which needs to be further investigated, once I receive the government grant).

9:45 AM - I begin to wonder if this is what it feels like to be a retired person. Although the stereotypical RP would not be surfing on their brand shiny new MacBook.

10:15 AM - I am visited by my friend Shellie the Baker (last name withheld for scientifical reasons). She is a curious creature, very friendly toward humans. Tame but not to be taken lightly or trifled with.

10:16 AM - Our conversation is interrupted by the arrival of an endangered species: The Mulleted Trucker. His camouflage proved too effect for me to snap a photo right away. I did manage one once he had retreated to his cave, but the detail is very minimal.

10:18 AM - Shellie leaves and I am left alone again with my anthropological scientific hypothosizations. Will the Mulleted Trucker ever realized his need to adapt to avoid extinction? Only time will tell.
