The case of the missing numbers
Where is the guy going?
There is nobody in front of him.
What is he looking at?
Damn, this is too long.
No signal light either
Does he want to go left, right?
Out of gas?
Maybe, I beeb my horn
Oops, no he’s moving.
Oh no, stop again.
I feel like removing his signal-arm. He’s not using it anyway.
ROAD RAGE. TRAFFIC STAGNATION. MULTIPLE HORN BLASTS. BUMPS, POLICE, INSURANCE,
DEMERIT POINTS. FINES, REPAIR COSTS. OHOOO, FIRE ENGINE, AMBULANCE, OC TRANSPO,
TRAFFIC RE-ROUTED FOR 3 HOURS.
Now you begin to wonder, why did the car stop in the middle of e.g. Bank Street ??????
You want to know the shocking answer?
The driver of that stopping vehicle could not find the number.
THERE ARE NO NUMBERS ON MOST BUILDINGS.
Before I left the house, I called. They gave me the number, but it was not on the building
A BY-LAW FOR CLEAR VISIBILITY OF BUILDING & HOME NUMBERS
To Ottawa Business Community and Chamber of Commerce:
PRESS THE CITY OF OTTAWA FOR NUMBERS in street-to-house distance format;
THE BEST MEASUREMENT AND COLOUR.
Light shining on the home NUMBER,
or the appartment building NUMBER
or the business location NUMBER in Labyrinth Industrial Park
I am not kidding, life is a lot nicer if you safe precious time and speed-up productivity.
What are diaries for if you cannot let go of your aggravated state?
TRUST my experiences. I only pass-on true stories.
I can lift this greyness and throw some light on HIDDEN NUMBERS and future clearly visible numbers, freshly installed. Relief stress and anxiety. Enjoy all the time that you used to find …A NUMBER !
