We checked into the Rundlestone Lodge, a newer small hotel off the main drag. The girl at the front desk was very helpful and called with some information about a breakfast time; she also forgot to apply our AAA discount upon checkout. RULE: Always check your bill! The RundleStone is a beautiful building, Banff [...] Up early to hit the camera store. Contract for them to dump my 256Mb CF card onto a CD — it’s full, and I didn’t want to run out of space. Head back to the Athabasca, ate a wonderful breakfast in their charming dining room, and picked up the CD after breakfast for $12. According [...] We stayed at the Athabasca Hotel in Jasper, centrally located and loaded with personality. It looked like an old Western hotel, and Eric’s room certainly did with a single washstand, and bed – and that’s it. He had a common washroom, which saved money but was not going to work for Bette. Rooms were nice, [...] Eric dropped Dave off at the airport at 5:00AM (thanks, Eric) and we met him for breakfast at 8AM. He was the worse for wear, since, at 12:30AM, the floor fire alarm went off, scaring the heck out of us, and he had to be up at 4:00AM to drive Dave. The worst is the [...] Bette and I went for an early walk thru the PedWay. We were always outside, since it was so nice, and from the Coast, there wasn’t much point to using the PedWay, unless you were on the way to lunch. We saw the legendary Chicken for Lunch, and noted the potential length of the lines. [...] Stop in for lunch at Edo. Same stuff, still good. Since neither Bette nor Dave, had been to Joey Tomatoes, we went there. Walked the 8 blocks from the Coast, with blue sky and puffy clouds. The weather had been gray all day, and we later discovered June is the rainy season for Edmonton. [...] I use a Canon PowerShot A70 — basic, ok, easy that uses AA batteries (rechargeable, but resuppliable in a pinch). You never use the USB cable – too slow and sucks batteries. I pop the CF card and copy them using ThumbsPlus to my yearly image folder. But they all have stupid names like IMG_2620.JPG. [...] Just found a bottle of Cuervo Reposado Tradicional Limited Production in the liquor crate. So here we go again with the taste test. Cazadores Reposado: if you breathe it enough, it bites a bit. Nothing going down, but a warm glow down the throat. Take that, Nexium. Cracker to settle, in my best wine [...] I heard a program on YouTube from the Today shows talking about tequilas. I hated the show — too much mugging for the camera and bad drunk jokes, but some good info. I love margaritas but never considered the tequila, except which one to buy, which is hard in a crowded aisle. I just knew [...] I use PocoMail for email and POPFile for spam filtering. PocoMail eliminates all the script viruses and since attachments are just saved down to the disk in a folder, my AVG Anti-Virus just picks them right up. No Outlook specfic scanners. Nice. PocoMail has integrated naive Bayes spam filtering, but my wife was using it [...] |
