Snow in August
… at 1524 meters (so I maybe I can forgive that)
Yup, I woke up on Tuesday – my day off and looked outside my window to see beautiful snow covered peaks, snow covered trees, and… a snow covered Plymouth Neon. Yup, it snowed a lot, and even though most of it didn’t stay there was a thundering snowstorm – I kid you not. Although most of it is gone now (at least at this elevation), the weather is still quite nippy.
I’m looking forward to leaving the valley tomorrow night, although I’ll have to make hotel reservations – I really don’t want to impose upon Else and Tim unless I have to and I have more than enough contacts in the industry in Edmonton that I should be fine for the next while.
Turns are all-but done, all Dave has to do is iron out the seams that will be present between the sections that Dave, Anne and I wrote. I was a little concerned I might not get mine done today after spending several hours with a credit card fraud, but it all ended well… except for the guy in handcuffs, in a jail cell at the local detachment.
Speaking of idiots, I just thought I’d like to remind Pat Robertson - the founder of the Christian Coalition, the host of the 700 Club, and prominent Christian Televangelist - that perhaps before suggesting it would be good if the US assassinated Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela he should review the Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Kill.
