Can we expect to see you on TV shortly doing 'ambulance-chaser' adverts to drum up business?

Nah. It wouldn't work. The locals would require subtitles to understand what I was saying and the Brits would spit at me

I'll just keep splitting up what were once happy families. Many of whom operate in your business - lots of money, too much time spent away - I am sure you see it everyday

Here are the two of them. The quarter horse is 15:2 and the thoroughbred/morgan is 16.2, or so I am told

I'm sure there are just as many marriages that benefit from lots of money and some time apart. Anyway, it's nothing to do with the business you work in... it's all about choosing the right person and doing what it takes to make it work, as a team. Anything else is just excuses.

It wasn't intended to be a dig at you or your work colleagues, I am just amazed at the numbers of people I see whose story goes: I got a job in the oilpatch, went north, earned lots of money, bought a house in Calgary, met a girl, moved her in, placed her on title, we have now split up and I want to get her out.

What is bizarre is that some of them come back every year or so, having done the same thing over and over. Nuts

Not exactly the last one I took but this is Mount Robson, the highest point in the Rockies. I took this a few days ago.

Here is my new car just come home, I'm really excited for OH to get it going and to take it for a spin, I may have to wait for the spring now, hopefully not though...I'm also hoping he teaches me a little when he starts some of the resto work needed...
