On my way home tonight I stopped and picked up the dog. He was SO THIRILLED to see me he started barking and barking. This is a dog that doesn't bark so this is a major event. The people that were babysitting him were stunned because they didn't think that he could bark. So it seems that I'm fully integrated into this world because the dog misses me.

Today both my morning and afternoon jobs cancelled so I came back to Vernon picked up my friend and we went to Gray Monk Winery for a glass of wine and cheeses and enjoyed the view. It was a PERFECT Okanagan Fall day. The breeze was slightly crisp yet the sun shone so brightly and warmly you didn't even notice. Truly wonderful.

Then I went back to Kamloops to fit some people for custom ear plugs. Not exactly glamourous that job. Sticking gunk in guys ears isn't wonderful but it pays the bills I suppose. What I need is money... lots of money...
