Yep. I am heading up tomorrow. I am going to take pictures and crap like that.
So far I am going to complain about this stupid road pass. You need it to get past the check points. It is really confusing. My aunt just called the ministry of trans. & hwy's. We thought we had like 6, turns out we have 1. You need 2 passes, one Sea to Sky pass that gets you to Function Junction, first check point, which we have. All residents have that. Then if you travel north from that check point you need another pass that has your destination. Ours in Creekside. The check point for Creekside is right next door. It is kinda cool. It is a HUGE tent that everyone travelling North has to drive through and your pass is checked, they look under your cars with mirrors, search you. No one, including me can get past that point in a car. So there is my house and a huge tent next door. I am not even taking my car there. No use. Can't take it past Creekside. The Bus is like a 1.5 wait to get on. SOOO I will walk 7 km to get to the villiage.
These passes are stupid tho. A house hold is suppost to get 2, that is what all the paperwork says. Ya, Our house up there got the 2 but they refused to issue our tenant a pass to get home! They told him to get the 2nd one from us. We are 2 separate residents, but yet they issued us 1 pass each. If we hadn't of given it too him the guy couldn't of even GOTTON HOME. How fucked up is that. We have 2 extra sea to sky passes because of business,

OK, Because of reasons I am on a computer that is using EI, and it is NOT MINE!!!!!! It was fucking up so I couldn't continue ....
Ya so 2 sea to sky passes, so whoever goes up first gets the pass, then we have to bike down or walk down to function junction with the pass and pass it on and then come back. The letter they sent out was very unclear about any of this. My dad found out because he hangs out at the bar playing darts. He started drinking with a bunch of cops from Edmonton.
Ya so, I am going to take pictures of whatever. No plans to pay for events but who knows what I will see or what I can get myself into. Contacts are always a good thing

But also a lot of income will come from this, as the tourism will skyrocket, not speak of merchandise, advertisement, etc. 
Have fun, Pistol!

I totally forgot about that! You know there seems to be more hype surrounding summer Olympics then winter...

No idea why, winter Olympics have always been much more interesting than summer Olympics. The sports, the look, everything.

No.
Canada wins gold. The rest of the rosters don't really hold a candle to Canada's except maybe Russia, who doesn't have a big game goalie in Nabby, whereas we have the greatest goaltender to have ever played in the greatest league in the world (Brodeur).
That being said, Kovalchuk - Malkin - Ovechkin is horrifying and should tear some teams apart.
I'm wearing my new Team Canada jersey to work today!
GO CANADA GO! |

Well you'll always have Luongo if Brodeur looks like he can't keep up the pace.

Well I am off to fight the traffic. Got the passes sorted out.
So sad to hear about the death of the louger. I haven't see it yet but it was bad. Georgia might pull the whole team.

I heard that watching women's hockey can put you into a deep coma or catatonic state
