Regarding the GPS directions...I get the same bad advise from the Aussie bird. Take Meridian to 152nd, turn right, stay the course to 122nd, turn left, go one block past Military Rd. E. and turn right at the light. That puts you onto Military, for no good reason, except that you dodge an acute angle stop with poor visibility. Next stop is Western Australia Hwy. 162, where you turn left toward Sumner. She's always good for a giggle, especially if I'm looking for a teriyaki source.
Talking to Chris Cox, confirming my intention to go to the Western Canadian Stunt Champs in Richmond. Ah, but of course. Nobody should miss that one...the border crossing is an insignificant delay now, with video/computer scanning of your mug as you drive up to the drive-thru window. Passport or "enhanced" driver's license is req'd.
Sounds like he's going to "Prairie Fire" (aka "Perry Fire") in Edmonton, but I have not found any indication of when that contest will be held. Maybe somebody knows? Anybody?
