Yesterday at the supermarket on my way to the checkout I saw this
and I didn’t resist! I have to admit that now more than half is already gone…
As (my) tradition wants, I leave a knife inside the box after opening it so every time I walk trough the kitchen I have a bite!

Finally, after one week (!) I moved the photos of my last trip to Calgary from my cameras to the laptop. It was a very long journey for 3 days:

Google maps says that’s 971 km and about 10 hours 55 min… for me it was a full Saturday to get there and the whole Monday to come back! Like my last long trip in Montana the lanscape was beautiful.












On the way I was looking forward to see some elk (translated in Italian as Cervus Canadensis)

I want to see their antlers because are covered in velvet! Really! There are lot of warning signs on the road



in this area the Elk should be everywhere! …but I haven’t seen one. They even built a wildlife overpass for them

It’s not an urban legend!
I’ve been to Calgary to visit Caterina, a friend from Bologna. She’s finishing her M.Sc. degree thesis on molecular biology. As soon as I arrived (after a shower) we went to a dinner-party held by an Italian couple who cooked homemade pizza!

and then Irish pub

2 nights in in Alberta, 2 Irish pubs!!! For sure there’s more of them there than here in British Columbia…
On Sunday we’ve been with a Caterina’s Mexican friend to Lake Louise for snowboarding! Here in Canada the skiing season begins the first weekend of November!!!

(to be continued…)

I do have a computer, I do know how they work, I know what all the parts are and what the acronyms stand for, I can build one and I also have an uncanny knack of being able to break mine on a regular basis. But, this isn’t really what I do for a day job. I really don’t enjoy doing it and I genuinely find it very frustrating when mine blows up. The last thing I want to do is try and fix someone else’s computer, only to receive a phone call three years later proclaiming that the computer isn’t working. As I was the last person to touch it
