Photos 1 and 2: Do you remember the week Last, when a ruffed grouse came parading in front of me to wish me a good Valentine? A week later exactly what is looming on my horizon, in my field of vision, do not fire at all the same emotions ...
Invaders
Do you see the fishing shack? Me, I just see it. It's in my face all day long yesterday morning. It makes me pump the air. It's nothing that you do not hear the reaction from Crocodile Dundee when he came to work yesterday. He could not believe his eyes either. He said bad words here!
The guy moved in front of our homes. We are a few to have him in our field of vision, but its facade is turned specifically to us, as if to spy on us. You feel overwhelmed. Hence, the name given to them at that kind of world one.
You tell me that the lake does not belong to us. That's true. Caring for 20 years, we pay exorbitant taxes to live here, are constructed by thinking environment and wildlife, it was almost in the house, it is part of our landscape, even inside, but the lake is true, it does not belong to us.
Lake Dufault, as I affectionately call "my" lake is the source of drinking water for the city of Rouyn-Noranda and surrounding areas. That should give him some respect. But it is not. Except for some residents.
My lake shores inhabited some but not much, thanks to laws that have been to stop 25 years ago in the anarchic development stopped there: the path of Sailing, the Rue Gagnon Avenue des Iles, the way the Beavers, and the way England. That's it. Its area is about 8 km by 4 km. WELL YOU WANT ME TO SAY WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN TWO Zoreil AN INVADER SETTLE THAT COMES WITH HIS SHACK FISHING IN FRONT OF U.S. IN OUR BUBBLE?
There is no law that protects us from the invaders. They think of nothing at all, especially not to others. What's next? He will come and borrow a cup of sugar? Ask us to come pee in our bathroom? Or worse, pee out on the lake by drawing a sign of peace and love in yellow on the white snow, making us beubaille? It will give each other a music box that spits out at 120 decibels and we impose its boom boom? There's no limit to human stupidity!
The guy probably works. He will fish the weekend. But his cabin, he was in the face all week, you know. That's it in fact you of the penalty,? Simonac, it is in Abitibi, a country of space and freedom. That is to say that we are not immune to anything, us either, especially not the invaders.
It reminds me of an anecdote. A true story, as said another. Our friends Bob and Marie-Claude live path of Sailing. Their slope to the lake, there are small mounds they have left au naturel, with trees, blueberries, etc.. One night in August, Bob comes to work, there is parking in Your Ride and he sees a man and a woman picking berries in his yard. Always cool, my Bob, he said: "A nice tiller, eh? . The invaders feel disturbed, they opine, but do not prolong the speech. They pick the handful beautiful ripe fruit and sweet. Bob is my resume, always inclined to do a bit of education: "Because you've come here, you see the white house ... . Then the two sparrows, arrogant and insulted him throw, "Wood is at the very world ". That's where Bob has lost his temper is legendary. He was escorted to their Your Ride, and a good boy, he left them with blueberries, telling them to make pies, they had a good foundation.
"J'overeact" I know, but it felt good to talk to you ...

Small note added in 14 hours: The end of history. It could be titrated as follows: The time I farted my coach for nothing, or, The steambath my neighbor gives me heat or, In speaking we understand .
short, I arrived just in the city. Opposite me in the parking lot of the grocery store, there was my third neighbor, Yvan, all happy to be happy to tell me that he goes fishing in James Bay for three days. I tell you our conversation:
- In any case, you'll have good weather to go!
- Mets-en!
- Why you go so far, Yvan in front of you, there are some who think they are in Ste-Anne de la Perade?
- Ah, you speak of the dark cabin?
- Yeah, right, this one has a beautiful view of our houses ...
- This is the shack Ti-Blanc (the neighbor between us) he wants to make a steambath with his fishing shack!
- ...???... You sure about that?
- You always thought ben not that there were people thick enough to come and live the rest of us stuck on well in front of us?
- nenon nenon Ah, I thought nothing Pantoute, I said it as well. Yvan good fishing!
I have no ego, I just show you. But as I still have a little pride, I hope with all my ♥ my neighbors do not read my blog. Otherwise, my new hobby, it becomes: "I do not care how ridiculous" and try to remember what my mother told me when I was little: "When you is not worth a joke ... "
