Canmore Religon "Debate"

If you are wondering why I had a big gap in posting, Kristin was in town this weekend. One of the many fun things that we did was run into a crazy man, working in a sunglasses store in Canmore. If you are in the area, by all means stop in, you won't be disappointed. I can't remember the name of the store, but Canmore isn't that big. It's just east of main street on a side street (but visible from main).

We were just wandering around, so when the salesman started chatting, he just seemed friendly. Oh, and just do you make sure you get the right guy to chat with, he's maybe 50 years old, with grey/white hair and beard, about 6 feet tall, and thin. I can't recall enough details of what he said to blog about it properly, but the gist was his take on religion, meta-physics, movies, acupuncture and much more, all rolled into one hilarious rant. I do recall he mentioned doing a LOT of drugs in the 70's. Shocking. I said "debate" in the title because it was a little (okay, a lot) one-sided for a debate. Anyway, Canmore has a lot of great things to do - here is one more for your list. Maybe you can buy sunglasses at the same time.

yeah debate is a bit of a stretch... i think my favourite was "your body has seven shakras, and there are five elements - that's why there were 12 apostles, right." right? well, who am i to say, but if i HAD to voice my opinion, i'd say you just found two concepts involving numbers that added up to 12 and claimed science.
