The thermometer's rising, by 6:00 AM my car's unlivable, it's the search for AC and Shade. Wake, drenched in sweat, the sun warming the oven. For a few days there's been the hint, promise of rain, but the forecast for the next week has nothing, merely 30+ degree temperatures, and all this heading into the July long weekend...
This is going to be a long summer, and yet too brief given the number of bills I have yet to pay.
5 more days until my next day off, 10 more weeks until I wrestle some portion of my life back from this, and then - too quickly thereafter, unemployment, and the game is to pay all the bills outstanding and upcoming before the famine begins...

The last movie downloaded on my phone, but an absolute Masterpiece.
A Soviet "Anti-War" film it follows a young conscript after he joins the resistance against German Occupation in Belarus.
Visually spectacular, amazing choreography, casting, acting, cinematography - it takes an entirely different view on war than most Western films - there are no heroes, only victims standing in the midst of surreal and horrifying circumstance. While I've read abundant descriptions and books that take the same tack, I've yet to see it realized as successfully as this in film.
6/5 Stars, a "Must-See".

It's got Alberta Politics and education written all over it...Probably a resounding endorsement from Danielle Smith as well!!!

Sunday night, drive up to new road above Kaslo. High up, had done some research, now time to check it out.
25 or so KM of logging roads - the geology, exactly the same as Crystal Mountan, abundant dirty & rusty quartz, metamorphic shales, Monday morning I find I actually had been up here before, or close enough, a rave (the one with the lunatic on acid)...
Check it all out. Off the road there is nothing, but there are mines - and amazing views - another 15 KM further up, but this has to be done hiking, and so now I've got to plan for some water and a long evening hike up the mountain...
Later, later in the summer, there are too many other places I have to get back to...
