yeah, went down to aldergrove thursday night, vancouver on friday night too see Bodyworlds. took about 2 hours to get from aldergrove too science world. traffic was backed up from the portman bridge to 200th st. man oh man, dont miss living there very much. had an AMAZING dinner at the Keg in the Country in Walnut Grove. id live in that place if i was closer. yeah, had a pretty good time, saw a 65 Mercury couple blocks from my sisters, a 77 or so crewcab out by abbotsford airport. drove by the old farm, the subdivision is rigth up next to it now, just the junkyard and then my old farm is gone. sad sad days. but yeah, good to be home, where its ..........drumroll.........raining. but it couldnt be raining one the coke could it, no it had to be snowing like crazy. oh well, home now, probably wont go back till at least march.

so waht did the rest of you guys do this weekend?



ps im not knocking you guys, just glad i dont live down there any more

 

I was in salmon arm actually! I drove down the coke on friday night and wow, can bc people not drive in the snow!

 

nope, the majority of them were pretty darn sad, oursleves, and our neighbours happened to come up just a couple hours ahead of us (both in fords of course) , but im proud to say we did darn well.

did you stop in slammin arm or where you just driving through?

 

Stopped for gas there at the station right across from the ford dealership.

 

I grew up down at the coast. Isn't it crazy how things change between trips down there.

 

did you see what was in that Ford dealership. i sure hope you went and took a look through the lot.......not talk to the salesmen, just took a walk through

 

its amazing how much its changed jsut in the last few years. its really kinda sad, some real nice farmland, all gone. and a lot of scary people. i mean, aldergrove is a place i always had pleasent memories of, but this time, really looking, its a pretty dirty and somewhat slummy place. the subdivision next to our old farm is over 300 houses. our farm is 20 acres, and behind it is i think sixty. at even four houses an acre, thats a lot, ina town thats not that nice. but yet people still will pay redicuolous prices for those houses. its really weird to me

 

I remember when they built the Abbotsford Auto Mall. My grandparents lived on Mount Leahman Rd. On the other side of the freeway. My godfather had a service station on the corner and over the last few years he was bought out and now it is just a big dirt hole. Anyway my grandparents thought that auto mall was about the worst thing in the world.

 

them scary people mentioned are probably the religious peeps that have takedn over the town . Bible belt of BC .

 

na, i mean like goofy looking weirdos, occult, druggies, crap like that. i walked down to the gas station in the eveing, only a couple blcoks, i had a fairsized knife on me (still had my work pants on from school) and i was still feeling uneasy. just not cool
