The Shakes

Well clearly I finally found myself a connection...had to come to the foyer 'business center'. Plugged my laptop into the LAN jacks here and still had no luck, but I did manage to grab a wireless link somewhere, and have finished sifting through all my e-mail/and spam.

Said business centre is conventiently located right next to and acoustically linked with the central courtyard area which just had a wedding finish. Congratulations to you Amanda and Bryan!

Anyways, worked myself 15 hours yesterday, another 5 so far today, and I'm due back at 10pm mountain time to work until 8am. After that storm cleared up last night it turned into a gorgeous evening, with the exception of the mosquitos. I think there's a methodone clinic or something around where I'm working. I say this because of the sketched out people I see walking around, and the guy that came up to me yesterday looking for smokes sayin he just finished treatment and presenting with a bad case of the shakes. I'm not really an addiction specialist though, but wow there are some classy people that hang around a hole in the wall liquor store in Edmonton on a Friday night.

I drive by the West Edmonton wall on my way back and forth between hotel and site, but have yet to stop in. I should probably take advantage of the exodus of people to Calgary for the Stampede and enjoy the mall with a less dense crowd.

For now though its back to the hotel room to grab a nap. Hopefully my cable doesn't go out all night again...
