Total Strangers

You never know who you might meet when you talk to total strangers. Whenever we go into town we take along a couple of jugs so we can get water at the municipal tap in the park. The water is treated and made available for cottagers in the area.


So today we were filling our containers and a gentleman came over wondering if the water was safe to drink. We explained what we use it for and that we hadn't suffered any ill effects after 4 years of drinking the water.


Our conversations continued and small bits of information were exchanged; Where are you from? Toronto. And you? Brampton.


Brampton, I (stranger) live in Brampton, on Mill St., Mill St South. No kidding! What number 105.  Unbelievable, that's just a few doors down from where I grew up. 105 - George (Mush)  Thompson's house. Great lacrosse players that family.


So for the next 30 minutes I filled him in on the history of Mill St. between Fraser and Harold St., reliving all the good times back in the 60's


Now how often does that happen? Talking to strangers, you never know what you will learn.


Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
