At any rate, stay strong man, sometimes you need to just chill.

I may just need a little break and since Thursday is calling for rain all day, maybe I'll just stay in bed and take a "me" day... But I too believe we've invested too much on the picket line to give up now...

We're all under financial pressure, and feeling stress from the conflict we have to face on the picket line - from both the public and even the union itself. I've had better summers. But reading your blog while this has been going on has been great, so I'm selfishly hoping you keep it up. (I'd like to say we're close to the end, but I really don't have anything to base that on, so I won't.)

Quite simply, something like a flat tyre shouldnt upset you that much. If you need to take a break from the lines, do it. No one is going to think less of you. You've put in a solid effort so far and you should be proud of that. I'm waiting for the day I check in and you can tell us that you're back at work, that the whole thing has come to an end, and that you're feeling happy again. Until that happens though, know that I'm rooting for you, even if it is from the other side of the world. I can only hope this all comes to an end soon.

I'm getting sick of all the people hatin' on us not realizing that we're suffering too ... I can't imagine crossing the picket line now 'cus then it makes all our time out picketing seem worthless.

On my way home, I stopped at Cycle Solution on Parliament and even though they were supra busy, the cashier put my bike on one of the stands and showed me how to fix this myself and charge me $5 for the new tube... I say showed me because I have disk breaks and they are a bitch to take apart... Even though I'm as broke as broke can be, I still gave him an extra $5 for his trouble, he certainly didn't have to do that. Fellow Striker: It's funny, today as an exercise I re-read the entire last month of post, something I never do and ended up laughing a bit... it's certainly been one hell of a month... but you certainly said it, this is soul-sucking at it best.
