Surviving Hornby - The Return of the Blob!

"Work has been especially painful with Blob away on vacation. Come back soon!"

You're right Elle, it wasn't really an anthropological expedition of discovery but a vacation, a simple camping trip with Phyllis and 15 members of her family including her 5 month old great niece and her 72 year old mother. I did a bit of observation and study....group dynamics, kinship bonds....that sort of thing. I was also able to take note of people's survival skills when pushed to the limit in a new and unfamiliar environment. I mean 17 people and only 1 lemon reamer, the daily right wing bias of the National Post, a complete lack of rain, 6 consecutive hot sunny days, and cool nights , a depleted stock of soft taco shells at the nearby co-op, having to lug driftwood from the nearby and expansive white sand beaches for our nightly campfires. All these hardships and more were overcome with nary a complaint uttered.
The dozens of Montreal bagels I'd brought along were consumed almost immediately after a bit of roasting on brother Carl's 3 burner nuclear/propane powered stove but don't despair.....I reserved a few back in Phyllis's freezer and am now working on a plan to get them to Edmonton and into your hands before they get eaten by the ravenous Jensen's.
As for the Blob the next 3 weeks should prove challenging as I'll be posting from Priddis, Alta. using a primitive dial-up modem. I may be able to throw in a photo here and there but any photoshop fun or web site links will have to wait. Think of it as Blob Lite.
