no, it's really not. I mean, come on, I went to Safeway to do the "I just moved and my fridge is bloody empty and I'm hungry" shop (dear god is that one painful - btw, Superstore is cheaper) and ended up chattin with the girl behind the till AND got her number and an offer for coffee later.

thanks, you just reminded me I need to update my number...if only I could remember it....

Some days, I really think one of my exes was right. I AM a natural blonde, I was just born with brown hair.

Really though, in the summer everywhere I went people kept asking if i was from Newfoundland... like come on. Not everyone one east of Toronto is a Newfie.

And for all you volvo people, you have to be cooler than some of the ones out here. I have only had the chance to meet a few here but the all seem to be the old guys that worked at the plant at one point in time. And then think that if its a volvo part the its worth it weight in gold. There is a few good guys here , just not really any younger guys like me.

Halifax/Dartmouth is really bad for honda's and caddy's

naw, we have an awesome group here...and a bit of a range in the way of age as well.

To be honest though, there ARE a lot of newfs out here...ontario refugees and newfs are taking over...although you halifax types are starting to represent

But Halifax/Dartmouth is beautiful. My aunt/uncle/cousins lived out there for years and I visited them one summer.

It is nice here.
this is a quick photo I put together from the front yard of my house.




I have a few more pic of the city and a few of the beaches by my house here as well

ooh neil, nice shots...I gave some of the other ones a quick glance, nice stuff I may be forced to kidnap you for some photographic exploration when you get down here

thanks. I just started taking photos the past year or so. I wanted to get out this winter for some snow shots, but I didn't want to deal with the cold.
I'm going to be looking for lots of pics to take on the way out. I have tons more on the computer that I have yet to upload or I don't think look good.

yeah you will have to show me a few nice places in the city to get some different pictures.

In the city, out of the city...there's lots around calgary within a quick drive - with lots of diversity.

I do want to make it to Drumheller when i get out there, I didn't make it there in the summer.

SCORE! I gots me a drumheller buddy!

...edit...actually Ian, I have some plots for the volvord in the badlands...let's all bring our cars out to play!

haha you're going to have me all booked up before I even get out there

damned rights. As original token female of cvc, it's my duty to coordinate social events

Hey Neil,

Can you shrink that avatar? It pushes everything off my screen...

Thanks,

yes I was just playing with it to get it smaller... how is it now?

Got to speak up dearie, what yas say ... now where did I puts me teeth?


Could not not agree more, we went out there a few years back, a very good friend lives in Dartmouth, and loved it. We are going back in late August this year

Your offer of a badlands trip and photo shoot sound awesome Kat, sounds like a summer of shorter and more frequest cruises. Good call on this earlier Athal
