What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? -Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher and author (28 Jun 1712-1778)
Hi Zircon! Just about to leave Kenton so I assume we'll be in The Hat between 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, all going well. Perhaps a tad sooner. Will text when closer. Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio!
Patrick, I think it’s time for you to join Corrine and the other many millions of Gulten intolerant people. Here is how to do it. Greg

Hi Grog! Glad we didn't go any further than The Hat as Calgary had an incredible thunderstorm. Heard reports that the hail was piled up beside the highway like snowbanks! Heard reports about the Whiteshell on every news cast we've listened to since departing Winnipeg! After leaving Kenton around 7:40 am, we arrived in Medicine Hat at 2:30 pm. Gaining an hour, once we crossed into Saskatchewan, didn't hurt either! Not much traffic so we zipped along at between 110 kph -115 kph except for a two quite long stretches of highway work, one outside Regina where, in addition to highway resurfacing work, there were two massive interchanges being constructed. I gather you are familiar with all this!
Another rather disturbing incident involved a single highway worker putting cold mix, (I assume), in cracks on the centre of the highway. We came over the crest of a small hill and I saw what I thought was a vehicle of some sort on the shoulder and as we sped closer, 110 kph, I realized that there was a person standing right in the middle of the road. No signage, no cones, nothing! Of course I slowed down immediately, changing into the left-hand lane and the worker retreated to the opposite shoulder, seemingly unconcerned! Not sure if you have encountered any similar road work but it seems spectacularly dangerous to me. This is a case where a flag person really should be used as an early warning system. Cannot even imagine that WCB would even sanction it.
Perhaps the woman in question couldn't stand being gluten intolerant anymore! Far more likely that she hadn't seen the extremely helpful video! Great thing about it is the fact that one can readily adapt it to so many other social situations. With nothing but a bit of tweaking you too can become Rap Intolerant, Craft Beer Intolerant or even Husband/Wife/Child Intolerant! Anyway, thanks again for your generous hospitality. Must away to bed as we have a long drive tomorrow. Fondestos to Pam and you from even more Gluten Intolerant Lady Dar. Cheers, Patrizzio, not yet gluten intolerant but working assiduously on becoming so!
Hi just landed in Winnipeg but I wanted to know do you have people at yours August long??? I was wanting to come and also wanted to know if Katie, Brian and the kids could as well. We want to show Brian Penticton to get him on board to possible move!!!! But if you're booked up it would be tight. Love you, please let me know ASAP. Drive carefully. XX Are you home??

Next Monday Dave Snyder is kindly offering to lead us up Blue Mountain (beside Nkwala). This will be a 3 to 4 hour hike. So meet at Home Hardware in Penticton at 9 am. Summerlanders can go directly to the site if they wish. We will be meeting Dave at the juncture of Bartlett and Forsyth up on West Bench. This is the beginning of the dirt road to Max Lake and is beside a gravel pit. Come to Home Hardware if you are unsure of where this is! Pam
