I lost my harmonica, Albert.
(Can't remember what song that's from.)
Meaning I've lost the stylus for this thing.
At least it was sunny for the Santa Claus parade yesterday while I went to the laundromat up the street from where the parade was massing. They say it kicks off at 12:30 but I was still hearing marching bands at past 1. Maybe they take a while to get going. And the caravan of cars going home was still happening at past 2, all northbound streets and any side street you can name, though the drivers were much more courteous than in past years, for a wonder.
Then it clouded over and rained all night and this evening it's snowing.
Today I thought I'd go up to Highway Robbery Medical Supplies to see about upright walkers and getting my brakes tightened. I made it, barely, my leg in spasm and my knee crumbling all the way. To meet with an extremely unhelpful sales clerk: evidently no walker comes higher than mine (which I can't believe-- you mean someone 6'6/ 2 metres tall has to hunch over my 5'8 walker?), no we don't carry upright walkers (the clerk last spring said they could order them), and no we don't do maintenance, here's the number of someone who might. Does he do house calls? She doesn't know and cares less. Took a cab home and tipped handsomely because just getting to Bathurst and Dupont is hard enough. All major streets are parking lots these days, but of course Bathurst has always been a bitch.
I hope the leg pain has something to do with weather because then things might get better some day.

Maybe I've lost my mind?

I think you're right about it being S&G and said at the end of a song. Somehow I had it as someone taking off Bob Dylan. But it doesn't seem to be Punky's Dilemma, unless youtube cut off the very last bit of it.
found it!
Thank you -- your mentioning the lost harmonica took me on a trip down memory lane.
Re: found it!
Good heavens. Haven't listened to that song in nigh on 50 years to the point I'd totally forgotten it. Thank you. The "We didn't start the fire" of my generation.
