Of all the places we've visited, I know the most about Red Deer, thanks to the tours I got from my uncle D. and aunt J. When the head guy from the local historical society takes you on a tour, you need to sit up and listen. In the short time we had on the first evening we looked at the Bower Ponds, the newly located Cronquist House, the Mackenzie Trails and we learned about some of the flood control features that have been built into a few of the new subdivisions around town. And, we were shown a church designed by famous architect
Douglas Cardinal, which is without straight lines anywhere. At Bower Ponds
we saw a fanatical mallard duck mom who chased away all other ducks that approached her ducklings, then when we looked across the pond we saw a pair of muskrats boldly swimming around. Driving on our way to the Mackenzie Trails (part of which is a reclaimed dump) a couple of deer played hide and seek with us.
The Cronquist House (above). The Cardinal-designed church (below).
But topping it off, we were treated to some fine Alberta steaks, prepared by N. Awesome. In his spare time N. fixes/disposes of old PCs, and before I could finish chewing my steak I was being handed a PC tower with Unix newly installed. thanx!
