Breakfast with Bill Usher of AGOG (Art Gallery of Golden) in the Big Bend Cafe.
Bill: Your tour sounds like some young rock band's fantasy. Just remember, as red hot rocker Reg used to
say, there are two miles of ditch for every one mile of road.
Bill and Gerry swap hockey stories. Fond memories of playiing hockey in Toronto and the Marlies evoked. Bill very pleased to get his copy of Kid Dynamite.
Leaving Golden the Rockies are splendid, glaciers glistening in the Indian Summer sun.
Later,
The Author: Here's today's quiz. What is the name of the Honourable Member from Kicking Horse Pass?
Me: I can't remember but when he was a Mountie the name of his loyal dog was Cuddles.
Still later, more snippets of friendly banter:
The Author: Slow down. You're in second gear. What's that noise?
Me: The emergency brake is on!
The Author: Slow down. You're doing 140!
The Kid: But I haven't even got my foot on the gas.
The answer to Today's Quiz is Dave Broadfoot. But does anyone remember the name of his Mountie?
