LKLEANERS CORNER I
By Ed Orlowski >3rd and hth floors of Duffy
A cleaner's eyes are usually on the floor, so it wasn't that unusual to
spot a bright object thirty or forty feet away without too much difficulty.. Being perhaps a little curious, without breaking_ my stride, I steered over in_that direction. The giinting object had broken into my thought pattern during a mental debate by my left hemisphere, whom I call Hemmy Hogwash, and the right, whom I call Sophie Soupstain. Hemmy Just about had Sophie in a nice clean soupbowl on the income tax question, on how it's taking all the incentive out of the young, just making them swazzel in the hogwash, when this glinting object intruded.
By now, it was in my hand, a brand new secondhand ’ quarter. I was looking at the date, "Yup, 1979". With that I said to myself, "A penny for your old sock. grass is flattened. It looks like someone has been sitting beneath the tree, perhaps reading. The quarter must have fallen out of a pocket, and just waited for a cleaner to come along to find it." I gingerly swept it into my pocket, and being the rear print on the flattened grass looked so tempting, I sat for a second, but only a second.
Then I looked up, and in the crux of one of the branches was my copy of the SUN. ,With my experience to
u
The
udate, I've learned to recognize»
it almost at sight. I thought to myself, "Wow, a beautiful
spot, a quiet tranquil
day, and a few moments to spend
by myself." Next my thoughts
fell into what I was confronted
with. This was my third encounter with the SUN, and at last, I had a Copy without
any ifs or buts attached. Using_the tree as a back rest, enjoying my copy of the SUN, and not paying any attention to what was’ aréund me, I said to

of the SUN. I was in a way thankful that someone else didn't claim this_painfully personal copy because it meant a little more to me than JuSt any third issue

really persistent for'thisi time of the year. It's almost as bad as hth floor Duffy." I momentarily
\ gazed in the direction of
Duffy building, and that's when I got the point of the whole fly question.
I looked up to see,a v wasp's nest about a handshake away.- The buzzing about was not of "Duffy type flies" but of little yellow Jackets, and they were not buzzing around for a neighbourly chin wag. I corkscrewed behind the tree, and did the hundred yard dash in about three seconds sooner than the world record for obese people over two hundred pounds.
didn't appreciate my gesture of leaving my SUN for them to read. It continued to do its Job on me, and gave me'a formal notice_to keep away by stinging me on the arm. I slamboozeled it, it flopped to the ground, and I made a pOultice of mud and saliva, so that in a few minutes the sting was no more. As I looked back at that memorable little tree I could see the gentle breeze blowing the top page of the SUN. seemed to be waving at me, and saying, "Here I am Ed. Don't leave me here." I'm wondering now, what next week will bring? But inside I "KNOW" that it is all worthwhile, and that truly the SUN doth shine, especially at UPEI.
So after work, I mozzied over to that low flying tree, and again without breaking
