On my way to Edmonton, not restricted by the boss’ superior attitude, and refinding my roots, I stopped to pick up a hitchhiker.
It turned out to be a retired geologist needing to get home to Edmonton. And we talked for the whole trip. Lots of old haunts and issues came back to the fore. Uranium found in northern Saskatchewan and it’ll be mined, destroying lots of land and ecosystem, but providing a needed source of energy. And it’s disposal is more realistic as a method to speed up half-life decay is available!
Red was animated the whole trip and volunteered to have me take his picture. I’d loved to have been able to get out the camera and trip pod, and have the lights I used to have and all that jazz to get a fabulous portrait, but that’s all in the past, so I used my phone, with delightful results!
When Frank “Red” MacDonald talks, his hands lead the way if he is engaged, as he always was.
His smile was infectious and delightful. Smiles bring peace!
