Thanks Alex.

I have been working out here on and off for the last 4 months.

I must say it is indeed nice country albeit one of the nuttiest places I have ever been... Yes, Ontario is wacky, uptight, etc but with the boom out here its plain crazy.

Walk into a decent restaurant of choice after 5pm and you will be lucky to get a table in an hour or so...the place is half full but there isn't any staff to serve the lineup at the door. Stop at a Tim's, McD's etc after 7pm and they're closed, no staff. Pay more for your coffee, your meal, your hotel, you name it. $5 loaves of bread, I can go on. The hustle and bustle makes Toronto seem tame as does the soaring crime rate. Daily robberies, shootings, ripoffs, drug dealers, never do wells etc. And this is Edmonton and Calgary, never mind Ft Mack where the real modern day Wild West is.

I'm not complaining though; come where the $$$ are and when its over run like hell back to Ontario and that fine Quebecoise girl of mine...
