Men in Trees Watch/siting in Squamish
I woke up this morning and read in the Vancouver Sun that there was a rare astonomical event happening today - that Mercury would monentarily cross the sun and that there would be a mini-eclipse. As a somewhat follower of astronomy/astrology I always view Mercury with suspicion - don’t make any plans, arrangements, deals when Mercury is retrograde (my modus operandi).
All too long a story but I put E-dog in the car and brought her to my workplace after lunch. As other colleagues have been ticketed and towed where I parked, I live in fear of a similar fate so I went out to say hi to Ella and move the car at about 2 pm (BC time). I had noticed that some major film production was taking place in downtown Squamish (wardrobe trailers and all) when I took Ella out for a jaunt in the Squamish central park at lunch time but didn’t think that much about it. So, I’m pulling out of the work parking lot and I see "Gerry" in my mind walking down 2nd Avenue in Squamish. I am about to yell out the car window - good show, Gerry! Good thing I didn’t, not that I care if I am labelled a goofus in Squamish (cause I am!) So ‘Gerry’ or ‘Jerry’ from ER is now ‘Ben’ on Men in Trees. I guess I should have yelled Ben and Gerry - great job! The really funny thing for me was that there is a vet./chiro. shop across the street, a ‘romance’ shop and then perhaps a organic coffee shop - I lost sight of him between the vets and the coffee shop!
So welcome to Squamish Abraham Benrubi as ‘Ben’ in Men in Trees and ‘Gerry/Jerry’ on ER! It was really lovely to see you in town. As a long-time fan of Canada’s "North of 60" I would have liked to see your colleague on Men in Trees hitting the streets of Squamish! But good on you - Squamish needs the retail business not to mention the gossip!
