In the afternoon of the 17th of February of 2022, on my way to the cafe, I saw Sherie the Part-Cree by the crosswalk, as she was walking her brown pit bull. Her hair is tinted a kind of purple.

I saw two round-headed Himalayan-reminiscent monks in red robes with orange fleece jackets at a different table. Later, the handsome round-headed stubby man in dark clothing that I have seen several times before entered to get his coffee and speedily exited.
