[ZION] No Redelfs Citings
I feared this would happen if John went to Canada. Marc and his family have eaten John and his daughter Cannibals!!! Had they only gone to Alaska via Seattle, the only harm that would have befallen them would have been a tour of the outside of Microsoft's campus, and..., uh, oh, I guess that would be worse.

Re: [ZION] No Redelfs Citings
Here's an update. Thursday evening around 19:30 - 20:00 we finally saw them. They were actually on schedule, but had missed the Edmonton Bypass exit from Highway 2 and ended up in downtown Edmonton, totally and hopelessly lost, until John finally stopped at a gas station and got a city street map. Then he was able to find Highway 16A, which starts downtown as Jasper Avenue, then turns into 102nd Avenue, then joins with Stony Plain Road, which finally, at the City Limits, at 231st Street, becomes Highway 16A, the Parkland Highway (a little touch of Europe just for John and Becky -- you know, where streets change name for no apparent reason!) So by the time they got here they were ravenous, and Becky was dead tired. They both had some of Cathy's chicken curry rice and Becky went immediately to bed. John and I chatted and he admired my big gentile library and I even showed him the Inner Sanctum, from whence I dispense wisdom, good sense, and traffic control information to black helicopters. We lost track of time and it was well after midnight by the time he and I both retired. Friday morning we were supposed to do a bit of sightseeing, but I slept in (Friday turned out not to be a very healthy day for me, neurologically speaking, anyway). They had some very arcane, Catch-22 paperwork to do (it's a lonnng story, and I'll let JWR tell it, but it has to do with Becky's car), and that ended up taking up most of their morning, but they did manage to see at least part of the West Edmonton Mall. Unfortunately the only bookstore they saw was a Coles remainders shop (where remaindered books are sold in stacks), not the giant Chapters at the west end of the mall, or even the Smithbooks on the 2nd floor in the middle part of the mall. Something tells me they only got to see the east end of the mall, because they missed two well-known Mall landmarks: Bourbon Street and Europa Street, that are further west*. But they seemed impressed, and only wondered how a city like Edmonton could maintain such a large mall. We explained that a good deal of it is tourism (my own mother-in-law, from St. George, UT, personally provides half of its revenue, I know that for a fact!), but also because of our bitterly cold winters - we are always looking for indoors activities when it's too cold even to cross-country ski). It's also why Mall of America, built by the same Edmonton family, the Ghermazians, who built WEM, was placed in Minneapolis. In the early afternoon I had to go downtown to a doctor's appointment, so my oldest daughter came in to get me and dropped off my granddaughter for Grandma to babysit, so they got a look at her. After I came back we just sat around shooting the breeze until the hand-off, when Mark Gregson came to get them. It's too complicated to get to his place, which is in the Glory Hills NW of Spruce Grove, near the village of Onoway, so he just had them follow him out there. Oh, and John got a lot of amusement out of Cathy's attempts to figure out why we called him the BLT. I must say, John shows a far greater sense of humour in person, and exudes an exuberant warmth, openess and downright love, in person. It's funny how email just doesn't convey these kinds of nuances. (Not that he doesn't necessarily come across that way on the web, I'm just saying that I for one, at least, didn't have the true measure of the man until I met him in person, and am very glad to have had the opportunity). We did get a few pictures, but I couldn't find my son's digital camera, so we had to use old-fashioned film. Which means I'll have to wait to get them developed and then scan them in, which of course could take a while, but I will post them when I can. Over to Mark for the report on the next segment... *even though the WEM is already the largest indoor shopping centre in the world, they just got approval this last week from city council, to add on yet more. They're adding more stores, more parking, some condos (!), an office tower, and another hotel (there are already 2).

Re: [ZION] No Redelfs Citings
He told me how he proposed to Esperanza. It's a pretty funny story. I won't repeat it here, though -- privacy and all that. But maybe we can convince him to share the story with the list once he gets back home. Elmer L.

If you want, although we're not big pop drinkers (just the occasional ginger ale, or boutique drinks like ginger beer or sarsparilla or that sort of thing). Mountain Dew is caffeine-free here, incidentally (because it's considered a psychoactive/medical ingredient, so our laws say the fact that it's there has to be indicated on the label. Barq's root beer indicates it has caffeine, so I don't know why Mountain Dew went to the trouble to sell a caffeine-free version rather than just change their label).

In this country we have freedom to literally go anywhere as far as the government is concerned. I have to make that caveat. There are some others who would still limit our freedom. Stacy.
