: Rob, gonna be in Medicine Hat Thur Fri Sat and Sun, watching Kyle play
: hockey. It's a nice weekend for a drive. Drop by for a Guinness, it's only
: 5hrs and 44 min

I find it curiously interesting that you would drive many hundreds of kilometers just to watch Kyle play hockey when he isn't even a pro. Coincidently, Medicine Hat is where Al Capone based his moonshine business during the Prohibition years. If I recall, Fort Whoop Up was located somewhere around Medicine Hat as well. This area, dry as the land is, seems to have a very long history of whetting the thirst. I guess it's no surprise that you'd drive so far just to be so close to such interesting Canadian history. And now you are inviting me to join you for a Guinness?

As it goes, Saturday I have way to many things to get done and wouldn't be able to leave town until the mid- to late-afternoon. That said, I will talk to Linda and if she is up for the drive (I always am), then I'll call ya with the details.
