I was getting my hair cut this morning, and while I was there I was talking to this older guy, who I assumed was the owner of the place. I assumed this because he was opening the cash register and handling the money. So he was either the owner, or he was robbing the place.

Owner: So you work at the paper eh? Reporters don't seem to stay there for very long.
Me: Yeah, there's a lot of turnover lately with people leaving for bigger jobs. Eventually I'd like to get back to Vancouver, but I'm happy here for now.
Owner: You'd be surprised by how many people I hear say that, but then end up staying in Peace River forever.

Peace River. Forever.

God help me.
