“Canadian” Cell Phone Coverage

To whom it may concern: "Canada" continues to provide me with beautiful views of nature and lots of people with accents, eh. One thing it doesn't provide me, however, is a cheap way to use my cell phone. Apparently, Cingular does not consider the large land mass directly north of the lower 48 to be "in network." My phone will continue to be on throughout the "Canadian" leg of my journey, but it will be reserved for emergency purposes and imminent logistical needs. So, until I return to my homeland, you'll probably get put through to voicemail. Remember that you are loved … leave your message after the beep.

In “Canada” … Where the ???

At approximately seven last evening I entered the mysterious foreign land to the north commonly referred to as "Canada." Apparently, "Canada" does exist. I currently am investigating "Vancouver." While not yet believing in "Canada," I am forced to reexamine the "facts."

Dead Sea Scrolls

I was again reminded yesterday that I do not speak, read, nor write ancient Hebrew. And this time (one of many) such skills would have really come in handy. Yesterday I paid a visit the Seattle Pacific Science Center to see the Dead Sea Scrolls. Those crazy Essenes left us quite a treasure trove of documentation to peruse. The stories and science behind the discovery and study of the scrolls is fascinating. Unfortunately, the book store was out of the DSS cookbook, a must for this coming Christmas. Hopefully I'll be able to find it online. In any regards, if you happen to make it out to the Seattle area, I recommend you stop in and take a gander at the scroll.
