probably KFC
It's been awhile. It feels like ever since I told the church I was moving in November, I've been flying along at high speed. I get invited out so much now. And people are always doing nice things for me. It actually makes it quite painful to think about leaving.
For instance, last Sunday I finally did one of the things I've wanted to do ever since I moved here. In the the Pincher Creek area there are dozens of giant, white windmills for power generation, and last weekend I got to climb one. The tower is 200 feet of hand-over-hand. I was amazed at how quickly I tired. Thankfully it's all enclosed and I was harnessed in. When we got to the top my buddy Dave showed me around the generators and all the equipment, and then we climbed outside on top. The blades on those things are enormous! Dave described it as three 747 wings spinning on a propeller. It was so calm and sunny; pretty much the perfect day. I'll develop my pictures soon and stick some up on here.
I really don't have a lot to say tonight. The windmill was great. Also, I've probably consumed an entire turkey, if you count the amount of turkey meals I've consumed in the last 7 days. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Alright this is going nowhere. Time to go home, and, in celebration of the fact that Manulife Financial refunded $211 of the $236 I paid a local dentist for a check-up and cleaning, I'm going to eat something other than turkey tonight. Probably KFC. Sigh.
