Where In The World Is Sum1?

Royal Canadian Mounties!

         Last week found me traveling to Edmonton Alberta to deliver a class on radio programming to their technicians.  It was a good week, but cold.  Temperatures averaged around -10 in the mornings, but did get up to the teens on some days.  It was just too cold to do much though, so I didn't get out at all, other than to eat dinner.  I liked the area, but was surprised at how flat the land was around there.  I thought they were closer to the Rockies, and would be a little more mountainous.  Instead, it reminded me of Kansas.  Sadly Dorothy, we weren't in Kansas, nor was I in Oz. 

         This class was a last minute set up, so I couldn't make trip plans when I should have.  I had to wait for clearance from them (the RCMP).  They said it would be a 4 week effort to get my security clearance done, but we only had 2 weeks from the time it was scheduled until I was there teaching the class.  As a result, I made the trip plans on Wednesday, and flew the following Monday.  I was scheduled to travel the following week also, but didn't want that trip to also be on this last minute thing, so I made them separate trips.  As a result, I ended up arriving in Chicago at 5 am Saturday morning, only to turn around and leave at 10 am.  Oh well, lessons learned.  Next time, just bite the bullet on the cost (I don't pay it after all), and make it all one trip.

         Til next time, when I will once again be in Juneau Alaska.  Took me 59 years to reach 50 states, now I've been in the last one twice in one year.
