   No Calgary.  Edmonton twice.   
      
   Winter in Edmonton.  Sigh!   
      
   It was the Ice-Age--there could've been Mammoths, etc. around.   
      
   Went back to Griesbach last year for the first time since 1958.  What's   
   left of the PMQs is a slum.  I found the one we lived in when it was   
   brand new--we had to wait for it to be finished.  It's slowly being   
   turned into a new housing development.  Some of the old DND buildings   
   are still there, gaping holes where windows used to be.   
      
   I remember trudging down the street a block or so, then crossing an   
   endless field to get to the school.  They must have moved it closer over   
   the last 40 years--it's just three houses down and across the street.   
   The "endless field" is little bigger than your average suburban lot.  :)

   You WILL be assimilated!   
      
   Of course, if you pay exhorbitant prices for brand name products, go to   
   Starbucks for five-dollar cups of coffee, watch Fox sit-coms or use AOL, you   
   probably already have been assimilated!  Wake up!!!
