Hot Wind

For a second straight day, The Sack has seen rain and high winds. Mrs. Wonders and I expected the power to go out, but it hasn't happened yet.

This is the second weekend in a row with nothing but rain. Normally, Sack residents would be milling about doing the usual pre-winter chores.

Instead, The Sack is quiet and remains in movie-set mode.

Gordon has fulfilled his role in organizing the next meeting of the Sack Residents' Society.

He has set up an email group and it looks like the second meeting of the Society will take place at his house in November.

Oscar says he's planning to send anonymous spam to the email group. He says he's been making up fake emails about penis enlargement and online college diplomas. He has yet to figure out how to send the emails without identifying himself.

Oscar is not particularly savvy about computers, so I don't expect his latest undercover, suburban anarchist ploy will get off the ground.

Reports from around The Sack suggest Gordon has been actively campaigning to be elected as the Society's chairperson.

Several folks have said he has come to their door asking about their interest in the position. When he learns they're not interested in running, he immediately asks for their support.

According to Computer Doug, Gordon is claiming that he has some "spectacular" ideas on how to make The Sack the "best darn neighbourhood around."

Gordon came to my door this afternoon and asked about my interest in being the Society's chairperson.

I told him that I would sooner consume my own bodily fluids than act as chairperson.

He looked very relieved.

***

Before he could deliver his election spiel, I informed Gordon that Oscar has reconsidered and is now planning to run for chairperson.

Disconcerted would be the best way to describe Gordon's reaction.

Of course, Oscar has said no such thing. But this will probably keep Gordon off balance for a little while longer.
