This Sunday's prospecting trip a fail, largely due to the fact that the car developed a flat tire, and by the time I sourced another at Pick & Pull Calgary (brand new, on rim, $25.00) it was too late to reach any points of interest. So Tour guide again, this time to Lake Louise, (amazed, there really are selfie sticks, watching all the tourists with them made me want to beat them with it, watching themselves in their phones, not taking time to look at the scenery, this can be done later from the comfort and safety of their home...), Then Takkakaw Falls (good photostittch below), Johnston Canyon, Banff, and then home. All in all a thoroughly unproductive day...

And on the tour he starts about the restaurant, the shared bond, the unspeakable, it's in his head, he can't shake it, can't shake the owner, 7 months only and he's already seen 12 employees come and go, he's counting, clearly, never worked anywhere like it, the money, sure, it's OK, but nothing in the world prepared him for this, he'd been warned, plenty, back in Italy, by the relatives, family, friends, but no warning covered this. And he's not sure, what to do, there's no jobs in Italy, sure, but no jobs were better than this job, this money, it comes at a trickle and at a price, no price can justify the prostitution of being here...
He's figured it out, finally, come around, but it really isn't my concern, my concern is 7 weeks left and to find someplace safe to escape to...
