Day 90 - Another Friend in Red Deer.

Got up early this morning and went for a walk over to the north side of the city. Funny that once you get across the river, development kinda ends. Means that you can get some interesting photos of the city like this one.



Afterwards I was able to get ahold of another school friend who is in a city called Red Deer about 2 hours north of here. So I jumped onto a bus and ended up in Red Deer. Got off the bus and took a split second to recognise my old friend Les. Red Deer itself lives off oil. Naturally with high oil prices, there is now a lot of activity happening in this part of the world.

We went over to one of his friends house and just hung out for a bit before heading out to a Chinese buffet. Afterwards went back to his house and crashed out watching Wrestlemania off the satelite (haven't done that since the last time I was in Canada - de ju va and blind stupid luck).

Followed this up with Mike Moore's "Roger & Me" that I'd been wanting to see for some time. Basically it is his 1989 film about GM and his hometown Flint - has all the elements of Bowling for Columbine and Farenhiet 9/11. Certainly makes you think twice about the whole shareholders, companies and employees.
