It looks like the Park is finally growing. I've been waiting for a long time to see the 1920's Street change and finally they are adding a theatre and a couple more shops. Another restaurant would be nice too. A Chinese restaurant! Was there one in Edmonton in the '20's? There must have been.
Which era would have been best to live in, I wonder. I think the 1920's would be my choice, if I had to pick an era from Fort Ed. There are trollies, after all. And there are motor cars.
It's fun to imagine, but the reality is that I would make a very poor time traveller. I have trouble just dealing with the present! Being on holiday makes me disoriented; it always has. There is a part of me that would just like to be in one spot for all of my life, to make my home my castle. Travelling changes the way a person perceives the world, and sometimes it is hard to adjust. I have moved several times in my life, and it has always been a stressful experience.
So when I travel I think I should try to maybe bring along favourite objects. I understand, rather late in life, the attraction of a teddy bear. I feel I tend to start drifting, after a while. You hear of people who forget who they are, who become other people. They drive off one day and forget who they are. I should do some checking into this. What sends someone off like that?
