Oilsands again

Positive developments by a small energy company Excelsior as posted today in the Edmonton Journal. The Oilsands are the lifeline for many here in northern Alberta. Like today. I was going to get Emma from her work at 7 pm. A truck stops at our entry road, drops his window, sticks an arm out indicating me to stop, so I did. "Hi I'm Frank your neighbour, most of the time I work up north in Fort Mac". A typical Canadian encounter? Two trucks, windows down, shaking hands and having a conversation at minus 11. He is and was busy working on projects M&D detailled and Waiward fabricated. All oil related, and a small world after all. We agreed on a beer at better temperatures.
