Had a quick break from shopping down here in Edmonton to meet up with some long time friends who I haven’t seen in a couple years.
We took off in search of Big Lake just outside of St. Albert. On the way there however we were interrupted by a bull moose on the side of the highway. ON THE SIDE OF THE ANTHONY HENDEY.
The trail system that leads to Big Lake offered lots to see. Here is a couple photos from the walk.
It was a lovely fall day.
This morning we left Fort St John on our way to Edmonton. This is our first leg of the Drupalcon Trip with the Motion Media team.
It is about an 8 hour drive to Edmonton and then tomorrow morning we fly directly to Chicago.
The picture makes it look like I’m the one driving, but I’m not I’m a passenger. We’ll see you in Edmonton.
I’m in Edmonton, I think that is clear. I’m in Edmonton while it is suffering a freak snow storm. Which I can handle, I do after all live in Fort St John, what amazes me is the craziness of the streets with snow.
There are two contributing factors to this statement. One is the fact that Edmonton roads and city planning is wack. There isn’t much sense there. You miss a turn, bam, you ended up on the other side of the river and can’t figure out how to get back to where you came from. Very frustrating, but livable… The second is the weather. Edmonton gets some wacked weather. Fort example this evening it was snowing like crazy and was only -2 which was making the snow wet and heavy.
So combining a confusing road system and heavy wet snow gets you a big mess. No traffic lanes, no common sense. By no fault of the City road crews if we hadn’t of been in a truck we would have gotten stick quickly on some of the side streets.
Tell me, are Edmonton roads a problem for you?
Today was a morning of buying and an afternoon of sales.
Ikea was the morning where we spent our share and walked out with a Table, desks and bee hive lamps, I’ll explain later.
In the afternoon we demoed a printer.. with a sales man of all sales man. But I should hold my tounge, because the guys was nice and I believe honest.
Whyte Ave was the chosen dinner place at a great little place where I got my hands on a delicious burger and french onion soup.
from my normal location to Edmonton for the weekend.
I suppose I am suppose to dazzle you will a blog post today, informing you of how amazing my life is. Well that is not the case, I’m average today.
Andrew, Mike and I decided to come to Edmonton… Then Jerid, who also works for the company, decided to come, so Mike decided to stay home. So on the drive Andrew and I talk about life, business and possibilities while Jerid read his book.
Finally we arrived in Edmonton to the Delta South Hotel, which for only $120 a night is fancy by my standards. Tomorrow is Ikea, and Apple store in morning and then Coffee Shop working in the afternoon.
It is a nice get away and I alway enjoy the drive as the conversation, which some what serious, always excites me about the possibilities and the future. But alas…. things change….
So from Edmonton, good night.
