Home is where the sun is
I've returned safe and sound from Edmonton, and hope to post the pictures and do a complete round-up tomorrow. But for now, a few quick thoughts:
* The drivers in Alberta weren't nearly as bad as I thought they would be. Sure, they are all over the road when they come to BC, but in their home province they seem to know what they are doing.
* It rained the whole way to Edmonton. It rained almost the entire time I was there. When it didn't rain, it snowed. It rained almost the entire way back, except through Jasper, and it finally cleared up around Vanderhoof.
* Although I consider myself a spiritual man, I don't put a lot of stock in the supernatural. Certainly not the psychic/demonic/witches/wiccan type of thing. But I am truly starting to feel cursed. Darn thing keeps following me too! I'm now 0 for 6 when watching the Canucks live. Lucky number seven on October 27th? SURELY NOT!
*People often refer to the "labour shortage" in Alberta right now, especially in Edmonton. Labour shortage? Let's call it what it really is: a small-business owners nightmare! Every single restaurant, fast food place, car dealership, clothing store and hardware store had "help wanted" signs posted. You have to see it to really believe it.
