Tapes

On my last night, I went through some old boxes and found these two tapes dating back to the 1990s.

Departures

This covers my sister leaving on the 2nd and my departure on the 3rd.

20250101


River Valley

It started to get cold at the end of my visit, so on a day that reached -17, I took the car for a drive and visited my home from when I was a teenager, which includes some ravines and the River Valley.

New Year's Eve

I didn't do much for New Year's Eve, just stayed home. Somehow I was able to stay awake until midnight, probably the only time I did so during the whole trip.

Jasper in the Morning

There was more snow on the ground when we woke up, so we revisited the fire site in the town. Also as we were leaving, we went by Maligne Canyon, where the fire had wiped out pretty well all the trees.

Jasper

After looking at the disaster site, we got a few drinks and went to the only Korean restaurant in Jasper.

Journey to Jasper

We drove four hours west to Jasper, to see the damage after part of the town was burned down by a forest fire last summer.

Cats

This rabbit has been visiting Ava every morning, just sitting out there and staring.

Candy Cane Lane

We went to Candy Cane Lane to see what it was like. At no point did we get out of the car, other than when my mom threw some things in a donation bin. Most of the photos I took on my phone ended up too blurred due to car movement.

Drive

After dropping my sister off downtown, I drove around a while and visited various sites.

20241228


Night Out

I went to River City Revival House to meet up woth friends.

20241228


Home

It took me a while to get used to those roads, and brave enough to drive in those conditions.

20241227


Night Out

I went out and ended up at an Irish pub that served what I believe is considered Greek-style pizza.

20241226


Christmas Day

We went to the mall on Christmas Day, and found out where nonwhite people celebrate Christmas when all the white people disappear for the holiday.

20241226


Caticure

An attempt was made to cut the cat's claws. I think they got one full paw done.

20241225


Christmas Eve

I returned frmo teh Mall, went on a quick walk, and then we had a Christmas dinner.

20241225


The Mall

I went to the mall on my own for a look around.

20241224


CJSR

I was invited onto CJSR's "The History of Punk." It was holiday hours so there was no show after us, and we ended up going almost an hour long.

Haneul Boring Machine

I've seen tunnel boring machines up close, but had never imagined the opposite, a haneul boring machine digging a tunnel through the sky.

20241222


Zine Delivery

We drove around and made a stop at Freecloud where I dropped off some zines.

20241221


Edmonton

Back at home in Edmonton.

Journey to Edmonton

Here's what I saw on the two flights on the way back to my hometown.

Bon Voyage

I met up with Coetzer the night before I left so he could take over the cat-stabbing duties.
