Wahay!!! I'm off back to Calgary in early December for two weeks of snow time and chilling out in fashionable Kensington where my son lives. He says we'll also fit in a trip to Fernie, BC for a couple of days ♥

Calvary has a big DNB scene apparently- that would be my reason for visiting....

Sounds fun!

 

[Serge Forward]

I'm sure it will be.

Not sure about the DNB stuff. We prefer the Blues Can. By the way, our kid has been in England for the last couple of weeks. He says he still hasn't seen anyone with a mullet. Alberta, of course, it mullet central.

That reminds me....only yesterday, whilst on the Palestinian peace march I was shocked to see a young policeman with a mullet ....

 

[Serge Forward]

Probably a mountie on an exchange.

He hasn't been paying attention.

 

[Serge Forward]

To be fair, I've not seen any mullets either.

Fucking love Rush. Peart was a drumming genius, fantastic lyricist and a really good writer in general.

One week to go and I'll be on my way

Are you going to bring us back an enormous grizzly bear this time?

My friend was recently telling me they'd gone to the hairdresser to find their regular hairdresser wasn't working there anymore and the new person refused to cut their mullet, although I wasn't entirely clear if this was a technical skill issue or an ethical objection.

 

[Serge Forward]

Sue they'll all be asleep and it'd be rude to wake them up.

I saw one of those running along the side of the road near Drumheller last time I was there. Fucking big bastard it was.

First time I saw a moose, I figured I could probably walk under it without ducking. (I'm under 5 ft).

 

[Serge Forward]

Landed in Calgary and I'm fucking knackered.

Have a great trip. Remember we want photos of huge animals and beautiful scenery and snow and Mounties and stuff.

 

[Serge Forward]

Thanks Sue. Most of the time we'll be just hanging about in Calgary but I'll probably post some pics when we go up to Fernie.

By the way, I bought this big winter coat that keeps you warm at -20° below. I'm now a bit disappointed as it's 7° above here and the coat's too bleedin warm. It better freeze up soon
