Breaking News: At the end of the month I got some bad news that my friend Julian from Buenos Aires had a motorcycle accident while on tour around South America. On the road earlier in the morning in northern Brazil while overtaking a truck that decided to jump to the passing lane to avoid a pothole in the road Julian crashed in to the back of the vehicle. LOOK IN YOUR MIRRORS CHUMP IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE LANES, URGH! Although the bike was completely destroyed the good news was that Julian will have a full recovery from his injuries. More on that in December's post.

Look-a-like - This was the only Hank shot with glasses that I could find, but I think it works.
The Dump. When you move you got to throw some stuff out. After renting my house for a few years things had collected around the yard and when I moved all my stuff downstairs it was time to pile the junk and dump it. Thinking back I remember going to the dump in NZ and noticing how different Calgary's dump was so I thought this might be of interest to a lot of you. Not something you do everyday.
I was really impressed by the care and attention they put in to the place and the pride of service, really! Friendly too. A pleasantly surprising experience.
Good video of the Dump! What a huge place. I freaked a little when I saw all the birds. Still makes my hair on the back of my neck standup.
