Field Fire in Spruce Grove

Oct 28, 2008 | No response | 289 Views

While Andrew and I were working today we noticed a large, black smoke cloud billowing in the distance. As we got further into Spruce Grove we realized that it was a field on fire just south of the town. I used my iPhone and Qik to snap a little video clip of the smoke. Nothing to impressive but more of an excuse for me to use Qik.

 

If you have an iPhone and want more info on Qik check out there website here.

 

Settling In

It has been a little over a month since my arrival in Edmonton. Starting to get to know the city a little better and the apartment is coming along nicely. We have moved out of the living room and our beds are finally in a bedroom. With the help of Linda, a co-worker, we were able to pick up way more than we thought imaginable. Between Ikea, Home Depot and some other stores we have been able to furnish most of the place for around $1000.

We havn’t had all that much opportunity to check out what the city has to offer because of our work schedule but last weekend we made it to the Alberta Aviation Museum, only about a fifteen minute walk away. It is not nearly as impressive as the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa but it is still worth a look if planes interest you at all. I havn’t been able to find my camera for the last little while so I was forced to use the iPhone’s camera. Not amazing but much better than most camera phones.

Some Older Tunes

I was browsing through my Anywhere.FM playlists and came across a couple songs I havn`t heard in a long time. I would imagine I called each of these my favorite song at one point or another.

My taste in music includes pretty much everything you could imagine. If you have a song you think I might like then please post the name or even a link (youtube). I love listening to other peoples music so try me.
