Kamloops - yep a very Canadian name. I was surprised to learn that it's just south of Dallas -- Dallas British Columbia. There's very rugged and semi-arid hills around the city, a lot like Southern California. No South Forks Ranch though. Unfortunately I never took my camera out of the hotel room. Shit.

Well the strike is over and I'm back home. I've gotta find out about my bike I left in Fort Mac, better do that tonight before I forget about it. And I have to clean my room, after 10 weeks of dropping by for a couple of nights and leaving it's completely out of control. In fact I think it's been a year since it's been organized (not coincidentally the last time I brought a new girl over to visit).

So now the tough decision, what to do with the money I saved during this process. There's a good down payment on a house there, or a couple years of school, enough to become a photographer? Where do I want to settle and put down roots? I've made some good friends in Edmonton in the past 21/2 years. But I love the mountains so much maybe Calgary would be better. But I'm really a Toronto boy and my family and so many friends are there. If I'm serious about being a photographer isn't that the place to be? I've got some soul searching to do...
