I was surprised that she was losing .50 cents. “You know some meters in Kelowna are like this one, where they don’t give change back.  I wonder what the city does with all that extra money?Continue reading “Where Does the Extra Parking Money Go, When It Doesn’t Dispense Change Back?”

After my first class I was walking towards the library from the courtyard, then something extraordinarily strange happened. A student slipped his hand in mine and walked with meContinue reading “You Touched Me!”
