I want to extend sincere apologies to Dr. David McKeown for my lack of decorum in a post I wrote a couple of days ago.

Although I stand firm with my concerns for possible health risks, I know I have used poor judgment with the illustration accompanying the post, and for that I am very sorry. Dr. McKeown has been nothing but professional with us throughout the strike and deserves the same from me. I know it’s little consolation when I say it was meant as a joke, but there was really no other ulterior motive to my bad artistic comment.

(Man! Who knew so many people read this blog…)

It’s incredible the friendship that has developed in the last 4.5 weeks too. Although we’d all rather be at our respective jobs, my circle of strike is a place we now all feel comfortable with each other, we look forward to greet each other, we all like to share our views on the news of the evening past or stories we read in the daily newspaper. We continuously change walking partners and the camaraderie keeps on growing. I’ve really lucked out in finding this many people that share the same idea on the way to conduct ourselves during the strike. We remain pleasant to everyone around us preferring to wish them a good day than to engage in negativity. Killing them with kindness is our motto.

But today was kind of sad, we’ve said goodbye to one co-striker who’s leaving us for a full-time job… It’s a weird feeling, you kind of get attached to some people and hate to see them go, and even though you’ve only known them for a very short period of time, you have to want the best for them too.

Wishing you the best of luck in your future my friendly co-striker, your exciting stories will be missed in the pacifist circle of strike.

Incidentally, we now have an opening for a friendly co-striker, we will be holding interviews from 7am to 11am daily.
