English, French, Italian, Spanish, Creole, Russian and Arabic. My neighbours talk about closeness and distance.

With guests; my aunt Wendy, talking about the great boiled carp debacle, Frank Pistilli of Inter Auto Repair and the generational divide between feul injection and carburetors and Bevin Felix of MTLbarber - and an overheard miracle in “a space for the community.”Music by Dr Turtle, Mel Brooks and Hermanas Malagon and Ricardo Rico y su Orquesta.As always, our beautiful theme is from Dr Drinkling.

Jokes about clarinets and porcupines. A very grumpy German philosopher. Discussion about a parent and a child who are very different. The very grumpy German philosopher's mother gets her say.
