Thursday, August 26, 2004 when I first went down to the pass, the frank slide amazed me. actually much of what makes the pass the pass amazed me - I was just shocked by how people could live their whole lives in the shadow of so many disasters: the Frank Slide, the Hillcrest Mine Disaster and the huge fires in Hillcrest last year, just to name a few. it's not that there's not disasters like this all over the place, all the time, it's just that in the pass they're so apparent. Yesterday I drove through the slide without even batting an eye. I didn't look at it, nor up at Turtle Mountain, like I usually do. I guess driving through it every day makes you forget - or at least get used to it. In other news I have evacuated the (leaky) trailer for the apartment formerly known as my apartment - now free of 15 year olds. I recently finished reading Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5 for my book club (which will soon become my curling team - damn am I cool). will not discuss as will take away from book club discussion. oh yes. A bunch of quebecois joined my family last weekend. nothing like a wedding of quebecois and albertans to have a good liquor induced time - and give ralph klein and lucien bouchard both heart attacks, I'm sure. posted by kim | 12:46 a.m.|
