Super 8 Rimbey Red Deer

... of we start thinking about supper &#8211; we&#8217;re starved. Problem is that we only have 30 amp power at this camp site, and the microwave will only run on half power. So it&#8217;s Dinty Moore Beef Stew for supper, and you&#8217;d be surprised how delicious it is. <br><br>We did pass through some unbelievably beautiful country today. We saw 8 woodland bison, and 8 or so caribou, and one dead moose by the side of the road.<br><br>September 20:<br><br>We have had uneventful ...

Let's face it, if you live in Edmonton, you're going to get stabbed every so often. It's like saying hello." That's a quote from the satirical "Stabmonton" Internet forum, part of a Facebook.com website that's got the mayor and city cops wondering how someone could be so insensitive. Especially since several Edmonton families are still grieving loved ones lost in recent fatal stabbings. Since being uploaded Thursday by local computer ...

Wowsa, I dropped the ball on this one. The summer carried on. I am going into summary mode now. I have failed to record when memory was fresh. I will endeaver to do better this summer. In August I made my way to the Calgary Folk Fest, Went from there to Canmore for the Folk Festival there and some camping, met some locals for a couple of mountain hikes, and met up with guys I met briefly at an after party ...

... ones whos voices Are actually heard. Which gets me back to this, Is it truly a democracy If we vote for leaders who Neglect to listen to us. If we vote for a guy based on His ideology and then he 180s when hes elected, Of course the common response to this is well vote him out and elect the next guy, Now the problem is What if the other guys are Straw men (like in the roman senate, Weak candedates put there to make the citizens feel as though there views are being heard). As ...

... lots of technical issues and am starting to get snarky at the computers. Magic has been overactive and clearly needs more stimulus so I went and got her a big cat tree thingy. She will play fetch with the little red hat she has adopted as her new toy but still prefers her favorite shoelace. Saturday morning I went to watch Nubians last basketball game of the year. I was really impressed with how much energy and skill these 10 year olds had ...

... to the energy that an event like this generates. I have experienced it on a smaller scale but this will be the biggest festival I have attended. These last few days I am trying to wrap up loose ends so that I can really enjoy myself rather than worrying about things at home. Somehow I got into my head that my taxes were due April 1. I was scurrying around trying to get all the documents, receipts and random info together. The thought of this ...

... on one of the coldest nights of the year. I showed up 3 minutes before midnight when the store was closing. I rushed up to the photo desk and pled with the guy to do my passport photo. He must have felt sorry for my state of desperation, because he just chuckled and agreed. I tried (unsuccessfully) to make myself look half decent in the tiny mirror and resigned myself to what may be the worst passport picture ever. I plopped myself on ...

... day. I don't know how this is possible but it is happening. I feel so at peace here and find myself in a really really calm space. It is super quiet up here and sometimes I feel I have the whole floor to myself. I have never seen my neighbors. The paper in front of their door goes missing at some point in the day so I know they exist. The cool thing is that when I get in the elevator, there is never anyone in it. Perk of being on the top floor so sometimes I take a running ...

... few weeks. When you are supposed to be so strong and so independent, it's tough to admit when you can't do it. But moving time is like having a "get out of jail free" card. You can call up your family and they are just there. I know that maybe some people take this for granted. I don't. I agonized about it for weeks. I remember having to work myself up to making the phone calls. I actually lost quite a bit of sleep over what type of food I should ...

... The cold wind was blowing through our layers of clothes as we walked around Banff that evening. It didn't take long to walk around the centre, but our legs enjoyed to be stretched for a bit. It was nice to get some fresh air, but it was getting a bit too fresh after our opinions, so we searched indoors and sat in front of a fireplace. I couldn't wait to see what this place would look like after a good nights sleep.
