Flynnfest #49 - Northern Pursuit

So, not the best of the genre. But certainly not the worst, and respectable enough. Errol is in top dashing form, and at the height of his career, though this movie was running at the time of his rape trial.

A good addition to the Flynnfest mix. Well, I liked it, at least.

Wu's Chinese-Canadian

I love Chinese food. Good Chinese food, that is. I'm sure I'd love Canadian food, too - if I knew what really qualified as
"Canadian".


So, "Chinese-Canadian" cuisine? What's up with that? Egg Foo Young with Maple Syrup? Bacon Dim Sum in Molson? General Tsao's poutine?


I got nothin'.

Provincial Highway - Southern Canada

This is another shot of a provincial "highway" in southern Canada. This part of the road - thick, swervy gravel with a grassy shoulder and not a town for 30 miles - is typical of the drive. And a fantastic drive at that, just so long as you're 100% certain your car isn't going to break down (as it could be several hours before you see another car passing by). You can never get tired of the rolling grasslands and foothills, elk and deer, and open skies. I can't wait to go back for another drive.

Watchu Lookin' At?

Saskatchewan, Canada - October 2008. South of Highway 1 in Canada, there is a provincial highway - Provincial Highway 18, if I recall correctly. "Highway" is a pretty relative term. For a couple hundred miles, it's a gravel/dirt road. In at least one lcation, you have to pass through a Texas gate to keep the free-range cattle from getting loose. But it's a great drive. You pass through small towns (more on that later), and see miles and miles of nature, sky, fresh air, and game. These two white tailed deer are about the only ones that stood still long enough to allow me to catch a clear photo. There were tons of elk as well. Very cool.

Oh, today's numbers:
