Drive back to CDA...

Sunday, October 01, 2006

Up at about 7:30, got cleaned up, and had breakfast w/ Beat and Clivia. It was a nice time to sit and chat one more time with them.
Then Roger and Renee and I went back to the office to finish things up. Like tie down my bed, and ladder, and bed frame, and bike and plywood off my tailgate (I had to remove the 3/4” plywood off my tailgate to get it to close.) Renee helped clean up my office, and was pretty well set. I left, got gas, and started driving west, when I could hear the tarp flapping around (that was around the bed.) Didn’t surprise me any, and the only way I could think of to fix it was to put a piece of plywood underneath (you’ll see it in the photos.) So I went back to the office and Roger and I did that, and I was off again.
Trip was fine, and I want to put some stats together comparing the 2 different routes between offices. At first glance, going through Radium is shorter than Crowsnest (by 6 miles.)
Pulled in here (CDA) at around 7:45 and unloaded most of the GS stuff, and my bed for the night. The rest will have to rest and wait for another day to be moved.

One might ask, “How come you don’t have more people pictures.” That’s a good question and I might delve a little into my more personal life to answer. There are a few reasons:
1. I like to take photos that are ‘frame-able quality’ - and that’s hard to do with a quick snap of someone.
2. Most people don’t really like their photo taken, and I don’t like making people feel uncomfortable. And if you’ve seen my camera, you’ll know a little more than the average reader here on this one!
3. While I usually have my camera somewhere close, it’s bigger than most (refer to point #2) and not the easiest to wield.
4. I’m lazy.
5. I’m doing something else.
6. I forgot.
7. Um… I really should take more people pictures.

Glad you made it home safe and sound!
I would have thought it was shorter going through Crow’s Nest Pass… more gas efficient maybe, less mountains, eh?

fascinating rationale behind the dearth of portraits on your website. i am inclined to concur with point 7, you should take more pictures of people. but it does seem that when it is really, really significant, you do get a people picture. such as at a wedding (dunk’s) or something like that.
