This is probably going to be a lame blog post. I blame the Holiday Inn Express in Drayton Valley, where I am staying. They have delivered thus far on only one of the two things that I inquired about when I booked - there is a gym, but their wireless is crap. I couldn't get a connection at all. They do have a 'business centre' (where I am typing this), although they could have saved on lettering and been more accurate by labelling it 'cubicle'.
The rooms at the Holiday Inn Express are quite nice, and they have duvet covers that actually get washed! If the gym is decent, I will forgive them for turning my laptop into a paperweight.
I'm up in Drayton Valley (it's east of Edmonton, about an hour north of Rocky Mountain House) doing some field work. I have two more days for sure, and then I'll be home either Wednesday night (hopefully) or Thursday morning (more likely).
The weather is pretty fabulous, and I saw a coyote today. All great reasons to work outside all day. I did have to wear Nomex Covies and a hardhat, all good reasons to sweat buckets while working outside all day. I would have taken a picture of some of the trees up here, and the coyote too, but I decided to leave my camera in my hotel this morning. I guess my laptop was lonely (I can't imagine why, Drayton is happening), and the camera wanted to keep it company and be equally useless.
I'm off to find a field to throw in: another fun side effect of working out of town. Then, time to test out the hotel gym, and wrap it up in time to watch Heros.
