The Briar Patch

I hate humanity. In general the more I watch the way people behave the more I shake my head. Recently was in a franchise steak house, a new location. This is the McDonalds of steakhouses mind you, we are not in suits, dresses and such but sweat pants. I admit the service was shit. Scroll through my yelp you'll see it. Now as someone who has worked in chain shit shows, I don't think they really trained the staff. She was trying and failing, without knowing the full story I default to lack of training when its a brand new place. A table of two women start complaining. Not quietly like "Hey she isn't getting a decent tip" but leaning over to complain to table beside them. Loud enough all the tables around can hear. Trust me lady we know, we don't need your half drunk loud mouth opinions on it! I went from being annoyed with the service to feeling bad they have to deal with PinoT Grigio mom. By all means when things are shitty let people know, that doesn't mea...

I was working on another Alberta travel blog to put up while I work on my Euro trip blog, more than enough writing but then I realized how close the retard referendum is. I wasn't even going to rant on it but I just keep seeing it all over anything I look at online, so here goes. First even if Alberta did separate I would hope you still aren't allowed to marry your attractive cousins. So you supporting it for this, just stop. This aint Utah. There are 9 valid questions. Truth, I will likely vote YES on the entire first 9. If you look at immigration stats, it is mind blowing. The truth is our healthcare has sucked for decades! Decades! in the 90s I sat with a broken leg as a child for hours. No that's by no means life threatening but if a child can sit in an ER for hours 30 years ago and things have only gotten worse, we need something fixed. Same goes for any provincially funded service. To all the woke-tards this isn't racism, it isn't anything bad to want things f...

 Another tour of a chunk of Canada, well Alberta. Unedited. Have a read! So we went North in my first entry, now let’s go “east” Or as east as my travels have taken me more than once. I mean yes I have been to Saskatchewan. Saskatoon actually has some nice municipal golf courses, who knew! Anyways we start out leaving St Albert on Hwy2 heading north. Briefly past Mornville on the right, which I hear has a decent country bar. Or did many years ago, past the Legal   (La-Gal) turnoff. Not Legal, like it should be, I blame the French that live there and to the Clyde corner as locals call it. Turn right here, left is to Westlock and that’s another entry. A few minutes on hwy 18, then back onto 2 until we hit Athabasca. Stop #1 on our journey east. Founded in 1877 as an HBC trading post (Like everywhere) on the river became a major travel point. Like many places people seeking the gold rush passed through. RCMP moved in 1892. 1913 major fire burns down most of downtown BUT it was ...
