8 years on
Pat Harper
Hello eCanadians, just a short message really to say hello again after 8 years of being away from this game. I see not much has changed in the grand scheme of things, and what community is left is being held together by exactly that.
8 years is a long time... I first began this game as a fresh faced college student and I am now 29, a working man with responsibility, a house, a woman, and dog. I'm sure the rest of you, some of whom have been logging on regularly the entire time, and others who come and go have all got the same nostalgia and memory of old times in and outside the game.
Coming back in the last month I have enjoyed falling back to the routine of having something to log into every day and completing some challenges, despite my complete lack of strength now. (although easier to get a battle hero with the lack of population). I have spent some time looking through old articles - not just my own but others too from back in the day. Most my friends list is now grey with dead citizens and I cannot be f'd to go through it deleting, it can be a permanent graveyard - but its triggered some good memories.
Shoutout to John + Mr Pickle for helping me out, and Mary C for encouraging me to write this.
Hope you are all well everyone.

The grass looks greener on the doggo's side 😉
Whatever side the ball is on if you ask him 😁
If one Pat Harper shows up, next thing you know all the Pat Harper's will show.
They are all locked away now, who can be bothered to verify hundreds of times! 😉

Welcome back, I don't remember if I remember you, and don't know if you remember me, but it's good to have comrades from long past show up again. I took a nice long vacation as well, been back since last year.
Great pics mate !

Patty my boy!
Still doing sand?
IBB! you’re still here 😍! How are you mate? What do you mean by sand 😂
I'm great guy, glad to hear from ya
Last I remember (albeit that was probably 6+ years ago) you were moving to Aussie-land to do sand-based 'science'.
Aha glad you’re well!
I was in Australia in 2014 😳 time flies, scary! I was sandblasting out there, not very sciency unfortunately 😂
I’m now back in England, and a project engineer for industrial noise control - a little more technical 😂
Home sweet home. Good to hear you're well o7
It's a great day when a person can grab a little innocent fun. Just a quick smile. Dogs like people who smile for no reason. I remember shutting off the lawnmower, picking a little wild flower and sticking it in my shirt pocket so I could look at it later. Life was more better back then. 🥀
