Finally, the sad and necessary end to the this portion of Kootenay adventure. To live here I need to increase my income by a couple of orders of magnitude. Find a different livelihood. A year, maybe 2 in Calgary to wrap up my affairs - see the daughter off to college - empty my locker, reduce my baggage, wrap up countless creative projects and make my plan to return. Finally, after 2 years living on sofas, under bridges, in buses, guesthouses, trailers, dingy staff accommodations, by the side of the highway and off logging cuts, tents and roommates, time again for a place of my own.
The pub, I'll miss it, sort of, some of the people, the more unique characters and nut-jobs that fill the area, some of my co-workers, but this is not why I came here and it's worn it's own rut, time to move on, when I return it'll be to the Valley side, a place, however humble, of my own, but I've a couple years now to plan for that.

Another good Podcast, this one revolving around Bigfoot. And while I might be inclined to throw him on the same dust heap as Santa and the Loch Ness Monster, there's something about the myth that's hard to shake. It's good to look at things from another point of view, and there's a few points of view covered here...

OF course, it's easy to dismiss things you haven't seen or experienced, but if you had would it be so easy? Food for thought...

Spotted this in a thrift shop and had to share:
I think it's Jesus. Probably it's drawn very true to life, I wasn't there, but it could probably benefit from a bit of restoration...
