For God's sake man! It's a can of tuna!
So...I went to the grocery store today. Let me fill you in on some of the prices...
1 can of Clover Leaf tuna in water - $3.98
1 small size bottle of Kraft Sun Dried Tomato and Oregano Salad Dressing - $3.59
1 Box of regular, Kleenex Tissue - $3.29
Green Peppers - $4.39/kg ($1.99/lb for you Imperial types)
Tomatoes - $5.49/kg (2.49/lb)
And my personal favorite...
3 "Mach 3" razor blades *drum roll* $23.99!!!!!!
So...long story short (or short story shorter, as it were), I'll be making weekly trips to Cochrane (almost to Calgary) for groceries, etc. What's Cochrane? Well, Cochrane is where Bonnie's parents live. I've been offered laundry facilities, home-cooked meals, etc there whenever I like and since I never intend to shop for...anything...in Banff again, I will do all my shopping there too. Sounds like a good deal! Once a week, 2 hours round-trip driving. Not too bad.
Skipped bartending entirely tonight because there wasn't enough business to even require a single bartender, let alone 2. Instead, I shadowed a server for 1/2 the night and served 3 tables for the 2nd half. It went pretty well.
Also, my palacemate is officially moved out and I have the entire place to myself now and will continue to have it that way until i move out. Again, I intend to move out because the rules say Bonnie can't stay over . Sure, she's already stayed over twice, but that's another story. He even cleaned it all before he left!
Tomorrow and Thursday I have off and I intend to go hiking on at least one, if not both days. It's always hard to plan ahead here because the weather is so fickle.

I recall visiting Banff with my family years ago, and eating at a Subway, which was of course, ridiculously expensive - to the point that when my Dad accidentally knocked over his milk and soaked his sandwich, he ate it rather than buy a replacement. Uuuugh.
I read your blog bro!
Sounds like you're having quite the adventure! AWESOME! (and congrats).
Wish I got to meet your girl though before you took off after her ;)
As honorary sister, don't I have ANY clout?
PS. Nice pics too - I've only been to Banff in the winter to ski....
Luv your long lost sister.
