Ushuaia Webcam - Tierra del Fuego - Patagonia - Argentina

One of my planned destinations. I think I'm going to need to take warm clothing. Ushuaia Webcam - Tierra del Fuego - Patagonia - Argentina

Booked, Now I Need a Passport

Well, the only way to do it sometimes is to close your eyes and jump in with both feet and hope the water is deep enough (or in my case, not too deep). I booked my tickets to Argentina about ten minutes ago. I'll be leaving Ottawa at 15:00 on the 2nd of November and returning on the 6th of December. It's another 20 hour flight each way between Toronto and Buenos Aires.

Californians hit the highway!

We're counting the hours. What time will we start looking out the window?? Supper Sunday will be prepared ahead of time so we don't have to be watching the pots on the stove.
Bring umbrellas and rain boots!! The weather report is for clearing late tomorrow but we won't believe it until we see it ourselves.
Safe trip! Don't forget your green cards.

NDP Meeting

I went to High River to an NDP meeting today and drove up Highway #22. It is a beautiful drive. At times I was above the clouds....could look down into a valley and see clouds below where I was.

It reminded me of highways in New Brunswick and Vermont.

Met a lot of very nice people. Volunteered to be on the fundraising committee. The organization is not up to SK constituency organization!! But the enthusiasm is just as strong. A plus today was that two people volunteered to be candidates so we will have a nominating convention in the fall. An MLA from Edmonton was there and said the feeling among NDP MLA's is there will be an election in the Fall of 2007 but the leader wants as many candidates in place this Fall as possible.

I dropped off Crowsnest Tourist Guides at many places between here and there....gas stations, gift shops, jerky shop. I left some at a coffee/icecream shop called 'Navajo Mug' which I think is owned by Ian Tyson but he wasn't dishing out the tarts or ice cream so I guess Sunday is his day off maybe????

I took along the petition re: the CPR proposing to put a siding in between Blairmore and Coleman in the wetlands. 14 people signed it which is one side of the page. Nobody was on the side of the CPR....wonder why???

Am I the only one posting on the blog?

Demolition

A huge bin was plunked down on the side of the street two doors up from us. We aren't sure if it's for whoever bought the house or for the previous owner who is throwing everything out that he doesn't want. It's a biggie and I can see the man at 13430 casting an appreciative eye, thinking he might like a 'go' at the house now that he's done a good job on unbuilding the garage. Dare we let Steve see the bin?? Between the two of them, they'll have that house tossed in there in no time flat.

Happy Birthday, Dawn!

Did you go out to celebrate somewhere? For a nice dinner? Or did you fire up the grill? You have some good cooks right there at home to serve you up a special meal. Hope your day was a happy one and all your little folks at school behaved extra good today.
