The Left Coast

Contrary to the odds given, The Incognito Decorating Van made it across the country and over the Great Divide. Ucluelet is as beautiful as Saskatchewan is flat. Yes, they have rainforest and big trees here, but somehow it's much like Port Dover - dirty fishermen and all. All things being equal, it also has its own version of the Norfolk Tavern - The Ucluelet Lodge. Looks like the Norfolk, smells like the Norfolk, gets unruly clientel just like the Norfolk. Only the fact that it's on the edge of the Pacific Ocean keeps it from actually being the Norfolk. And speaking of which, whoever the fuck decided to call it that must never have seen it let alone been surfing in it. Yes, I went surfing - it was exciting and salty. Not as much ass kicking as I'd expected but I'm sure that will change. It may seem as though all my time here has been spent in leisure; that would be an almost entirely accurate assumption. No jobs yet for Laura and I which means my days begin at the crack of noon and are spent with equal parts hackey sack and reading. We also had a rather exciting adventure taking the van down an old logging road to Kennedy Lake to camp for a night. More later when I'm less tired and cranky (perhaps after I retire?).g
Take it easy,
