Insomnia

Yesterday we drove all the way from Hope to Everett, Wash. What an exhausting drive that was. I'm kidding. It's only like a trip to Regina or even less. Traffic is a little heavier, but the road is a little wider so it was okay. For a while our new gps wouldn't work so we were a little upset. But Chris smacked it upside the head a couple and it came back. We are going to have to give it a name. It has a very impersonal female voice so if you have any ideas, put them in your comments and we will pick the one we like.
It's 3:30 in the morning and I got tired of rolling over in bed, in an effort to fall asleep, so here I am. Last night we went out for supper, got back to the room and went for a soak in the hot tub. You would think that I would have crashed until breakfast, but nooooooo. It wasn't a real comfortable tub. It was built out of concrete and in an effort to keep you from slipping, I think they used a barn broom to trowel the concrete. It also didn't come with Susan and Marv, so that might have been a factor in the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. Chris can only handle about ten minutes in a hot tub, and I didn't want to sit there by myself, so we went back to the room after about 15 minutes. It should have been enough soaking time to keep me asleep more than 4 hours. Oh well, on to other things.
When we got to the border crossing there were about ten or fifteen cars ahead of us, so it took about twenty minutes to get to the front of the line. When we told him that we were there for 4 months, I thought he was going to make us pull out of the line and look through our car. We still don't have passports, heck, Chris is still an American with landed immigrant status. Hey, maybe that helped. They were just welcoming her back home. Anyway, he handed us back our id, and sent us on our way. We have about 25 miles to go after breakfast and then we are there. We would have done it yesterday and saved the cost of another hotel room but we couldn't get a key on the weekend.
That is about all for now. If you see a Kindersley truck driver, throw a snowball at him. If you can hit him right in the eyes than he will be able to see about as much as I could, when that trucker passed me on the wrong side of the road up on Rogers Pass the other day. And I wasn't holding him up any more than the other thirty vehicles were that were if front of me. Everybody except a couple of truckers stayed in the line until we got down enough so the packed snow and slush was gone. Don't ever try to convince me that truckers are careful drivers. Especially the Kindersley driver, he didn't care about anybody else on the road. Because of the weight of the vehicle I suppose he had traction, so he just roared right by.
But we did arrive safe and sound, the weather is great, and the car worked great. Thanks Andy. Most of the leaves are still on the trees and yesterday I washed the car at this car wash that didn't even have doors on it. It got up to 15 degrees Celsius. I suppose I will have to learn Fahrenheit again, but that is the temperature that was on the car. I think I might enjoy that part of this winter.
And please people, lots of comments. Even if you just say hi. Its nice to know that your out there.
