O, Canada!

What a week, Stock market looks like a yo yo this week. We got sea sick just watching. Fed keeps sticking their nose into private enterprise (Something they are very good at). Each time they fool around the stock market goes wild.This week they messed with banking, oil, technology, the Auto industry and one of their favorites is the airlines industry.

In case you haven’t picked up on it we are in favor of federal hands off where business is concerned. We think the American consumer will sort it all out given time.
When Uncle Sam starts messing with business it is always a disaster.

Enough about depressing financial stuff, now on with the trip.

Went to Canada week before last and was not surprised to find the American dollar not in a favorable position.

Western Canadians blame all the worlds woes on the US. Is that a surprise to any one?

Had a great time walking in one of the largest glaciers in the world in shorts and crocks. LOL. Our first time in the Canadian Rockies was quite a treat as we have never been that high since Viet Nam.

We loved the scenery and were especially in awe of the color of the Glacial water in the rivers and lakes. If you have not seen it it is a deep turquoise blue. The powdered rock from beneath the glacier suspends in the water and dispelled all the color spectrum except this unusual but spectacular blue.

The AKGORICLE was not present with his glacier cooler trying to save the glacier from global warming though and I was, as you might imagine very disappointed.

The Canadian Rockies in Banff National park are unspeakably beautiful.
We were about 4400 ft above sea level at the Hotel and 10,000 to 12,000 ft above sea level at various times in the Mountains.

I saw Elk in the wild for the first time. They were so used to people in the national parks we could walk up to within 50 feet of them and they paid little attention to us

The Banff Springs Hotel is spectacular and incredibly expensive. We stayed in the section of the hotel reserved for mere millionares and below.(Rooms only $475 per night.) The good rooms were up to $5000 per night.

8 of us had a 3 hour 5 course dinner for a mere $1400.00.

I had buffalo steak, 3 medallions the size of silver dollars for $55.

Parking our rental car was $34 per night. We ate most of our meals at McDonalds after that dinner.

We swam in the same pool that the Royal family has used (Not the Obamas)

We also swam in volcanic mountain mineral hot springs 105 degrees and they have to cool it from around 150.

As we returned to the good old US form our trip the Canadian Customs people were busy doing body cavity searches on the two of us 60 year old Caucasians tourists while Abdul and Mohammad and friends went right through without question.

Another week in the kingdom of the Vast Right Wing Conspirators at the Money Matters staff headquarters.

God wants that you should have life and have it more abundantly.

God intended that you and I have available at our disposal “Exceedingly abundantly above all you can think or ask.

Ask and seek and knock and you shall find.

Until next week.

Happy trails to you until we meet again.
