"theres no place like home"

But I still love edmonton. even if i have to see you... and feelings come back, even if you're a jerk.

drive this time however...the drive seems to get more and more interesting.
in december, vinnie and i got stuck in a freak ice storm, causing out drive home to take about 7 hrs.
a few weeks ago, carisa and I got "stalked"
and now.....
Judy and i...
well.....
it started after red deer, judy looked at the sky, said it looked awful, i only saw the black, as we were in a smart car, and i didn't know where she was looking...
THEN I SAW IT.

the beginning of a tornado, the wind had picked up, i was white knuckled staying on the road, we watched it, well i tried to, as going as fast as I could... watched it turn into a long funnel and touch down.
not sure if there was damage, i was too busy getting us out of there, just in time for the car to start to run out of fuel... which counts down from 5 L.
we made it to leduc with 2 L left. thats the downside of a electronic gas gage that only has 5 bubbles.

once arriving in edmonton Judy started to fix her makeup, and start a new trend perhaps, in her purse a pen had exploded... so without noticing she got ink all over her face.

all in all it was a great trip, lots of laughs, good people, great show, and POWER shopping!!
