Mine would be........

Music - anything by Enigma - not my favourite, but calming in times of stress & also up lifting.

Luxury item - my dobermann (he'd be my guard & companion & help hunt for food)

Luxury Item: A wire wheel, painted not chromed, with a knock on hub

A haiku for you

City, After Dark, by KR Copeland

The night's a black sedan
the moon its single hubcap,
last of four, unstolen.

"Chickie" seems to be an acceptable term amongst Canadians, I hear it often and one of my daughters uses it. It sets my teeth on edge and, given that most Canadian speech is desperately PC, its survival surprises me somewhat. I guess women in Canada just haven't achieved the status of people of colour.

I'm sorry. I keep forgetting that Canadians don't do irony.
