Edmonton

Let it be known that I am officially annoyed with the backwards, red-neck Province of Alberta.  I don’t get it.  Have they not heard of wireless internet here yet?  Frankly I’m not surprised.  I’ve noticed this before while travelling in Alberta.  It seems that things come slower here than BC.  Things I take for granted in BC (i.e.- reasonably good coffee or wireless internet) seem to take a while to catch on here.  Now I’m not saying there isn’t any wireless internet connections, it just seems that most hotels here haven’t figured out there is a demand for it.  Hell we were in Grand Forks a couple of weeks ago and they had wireless internet at Johnny’s Motel.  If Johnny’s has wireless why doesn’t The Yellowhead?  I can only assume that if I come back here in a year or so they will have it.

I have seen hell today.  It took the form of the largest Mall in North America… and me with $0.  Seriously I was so depressed I had to get out of there fast.  This no money thing is sucking I tell you.  I think I had more money when I was a student, as a student though I wasn’t driving a great car though…  Last night I stayed at my Aunts home in Leduc so I finally got a good night sleep.  Today was a really slack day with just one job but tomorrow will be a little bit busier.  

Talked to my Dad last night and my new truck is ready!  They’re going to Vancouver to pick it up this week.  I’m very excited that I’m going to have my own truck from now on.  Shuffling between trucks is a such a pain in the ass because you constantly have to get things the way you want them and then you get changed to another truck again.  So getting home to that will be pretty nice.
