Thought I'd throw up some pictures of Harrison Hot Springs to warm you all up a bit, I was there a week ago and wish I am there right now.

I'm headed there for New Years! Woohoo!

...the snow made for an awesome photoshoot on Saturday though ('cept all my gear getting wet )

For a local model's portfolio:

Hey keep the pictures comming. Makes me feel warm indoors on the computer. Well I almost didnt get a bus, the bus couldnt make it up a hill past me so I wont know on any morning if there will be one or not this week. I will have to slide 5 blocks blind earlier than ever to be sure to get the one I need. My job is of a nature tht no one else will get to work either if I dont. This happens to me during this busiest of weeks to let me know that normally there is hardly any stress in my life. Love the snow, hate the consequenses!!

Thanks for the update, I'm in denial that it'll happen.

I wonder if this will close the schools or not. If not tomorow perhaps on Thursday? It was pretty warm today after noon I think. I cant even smell the snow today, or feel it in the air, perhaps in an hour or so. If my bus comes it dosn't matter.

BTW, to make everyone feel better, this was our back/front yard May 24th 2007 when we lived in Cochrane, AB just outside of Calgary...

Many years ago people from Calgary used to head out to Chocrane for the best ice cream on earth, or so we thought. Do you know if they still have that ice cream?

Yup... they do. McKays Ice Cream. Nice place but not worth the 2 hour line-ups in the summer IMO.

OOooooooh I remember that place! Doen'st it have like 200 flavours (ok, I might be overexaggerating) or something? We used to drive to Cochrane all the time
