An afternoon at the park, Fort Edmonton Park, that is.

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?
