Back in Gary after a week.  Went to Edmonton and back by way of South Saint Paul.


Went through Carrington, North Dakota. I took a video in honor of Lynne. It was raining as can be seen.

Exercised at Gary again when I got here.  Peak8 on Stairmaster.

This trip was the second time I have been to Edmonton.  Actually was delivering the same stuff to the same place as last time.  The directions are wrong.  I had sent in corrections but they did not get done.  Almost like a note in the file to remind somebody to make the corrections. 

Alberta and Saskatchewan are definitely booming.  There are radio ads for all sorts of oil/gas field types playing all the time.

INTERESTING ITEMS (details to follow)
 Public service announcements in some language that I have never heard before.  -- Native American I assume since they talked about Native American issues also.

The sports news lead story was NHL hockey --Edmonton OIlers or Winnipeg Jets, BUT second and third stories were about Curling.  Apparently there is an international curling competition going on and team Canada had screwed up and lost their first match, but had battled back and with a win over Korea and Switzerland would get out of the roundrobin round.
The third story was about some curling guy that is going to retire after this season.

The tenth and last story after all the local hockey tournaments and who was going to be drafted by which NHL team was about some guy named Lebron James and the Miami Heat.  It is all a matter of perspective.

Native Americans are referred to as aborigines.   After looking up the definition is makes sense.

ab·o·rig·i·ne

 [ab-uh-rij-uh-nee] Show IPA

noun

1.

one of the original or earliest known inhabitants of a country or region.

Anyway it was weird to me to hear about aborigine rights or a suspect in a police bulletin decribed as an Hispanic male or aborigine male.
