Pictures deleted due to space.
I was in Victoria yesterday, it was great. As soon as I walked off the plane, I could smell the flowers blooming. It was very cool.
The first picture is of Mount Baker in Washington.
The second picture is of a "straight tail" DC-3, I've never seen one like that before.
The third picture, is the bench I was sitting on while I was phoning people, if you click on the thumbnail, you will see an enlarged picture, and Mount Baker is in the background.
The fifth picture, is the little store where I bought some oysters, mmmm.
The last picture is sunset on the ramp in YYJ. I wish all my training excursions could be like this.

Here is the news! I'm going back to work in Saskatoon. I'm not moving, I'm just going to commute there for work.
On other news, I am very excited to be going to Victoria on monday, to do some ramp training there. I havn't been to Victoria in a long time, hopefully it will be nicer weather than here. (it is snowing today)
Tuesday, I come back to Calgary.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I'll be working my job here in Calgary.
Saturday, I am going to Whitehorse, again to do some ramp training, it should be very cool! I'm not sure how long I'll be there, probably until Monday morning. Monday, I'll head for Saskatoon.
Tuesday, Wednesay and Thursday, I'll be working my old job in Saskatoon.
If everything goes right, Thursday night Greg and I will be leaving for Hong Kong. ( I was supposed to work on Friday, but I did a shift trade. Jason, you are a life saver! You ROCK! )
Hopefully, I'll be able to do some updates here between now and then.
Peace

Different Economies.....
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM:
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows.
No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public buys your're bull.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and
produce twenty times the milk.
You then create clever cow cartoon images called 'Cowkimono' and market them World-Wide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Both are mad.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
You break for lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
You count them again and learn you have 12 cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you.
You charge others for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You claim full employment and high bovine productivity.
You have the newsman who reported on the numbers arrested.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You worship them.
FILIPINO VERSION OF A CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You roast them and have a fiesta.

So what is new with me? Well, lots actually. I'm going back to work in Saskatoon! I can't believe I'm doing it, but I'm actually looking forward to it. I think I'm more excited to work there than I was when I started with the company!
In other news, on the flying job front, things are looking up! I hope!! ( I don't want to say much now, I don't want to jinx anything. )
Other than that, Whitehorse here we come!
