(7/19/05) Em, Diane went to water plants Saturday afternoon. So if you just go Tuesday (tomorrow) and either Thursday or Friday, that will work out ;-) I am back late Saturday evening (this coming Saturday). Well, if things go according to plan, I will be... There is something wack about this rental computer keyboard--not letting me do apostrophes or question marks or exclamation points. So I am not able to type with contractions. Any thoughts about how this happens, computer geeks (insert question mark here) Just curious. Not a burning question, less burning than the steakhouse one. (Thanks Rod, by the way.) But the exchange rate the last year or so has not been to the U.S. advantage-- 80 American cents to the Canadian dollar, instead of 65 cents to the dollar like it was when I did Victoria with Dad in 2001. (When did you come here, Rod-- question mark) We took a special wildlife spotting tour this evening and saw... --dozens of elk, including several spotted baby elk and two massive bulls --a pika (small rodent) scurrying in the grass alongside Medicine Lake --mountain goat mama and baby (rare to see--what we saw earlier today was in fact a family of mountain SHEEP--how does Jesus separate the sheep from the goats, question mark--turns out the goats are much hairier), scaling a cliffside in a way that made come to mind Climb Every Mountain and the last scene from The Sound of Music, where the director pans over Julie Andrews leading the children over the Austrian Alps to Switzerland...come on children, we really can escape the Nazis (I have, by the way, discovered that I lack quotation marks as well--rats) --a white tailed deer (rare to see around here) There also was a 150-foot waterfall to stand over, feeling vertigo-ish, while we walked through Meligne Canyon. (Will you please accept vertigo-ish as a word, with apologies to Mr. Brunson and the other sticklers out there ;-)) Moon rising again, gaining on full, and this evening I learned the name of the snow-covered mountain: Mount Edith Cavell (word is, she was a nurse serving in WWI--wondering if she lost a leg or at least came close, question mark)
