On Tuesday, I cycled from my house to downtown Kelowna in just over half an hour. Today, driving that same route took just over two hours. There were cars everywhere - in trees, perched on fences, poking out of the sewers... Or perhaps I was hallucinating - things like that can happen when you're trapped inside a vehicle for two long, long hours. I resorted to taking pictures of the traffic. Photos of traffic. Thankfully, I made it through without too much mental trauma.
Despite the rocky start, it was smooth sailing once I got across the bridge and started on my way to Merritt. After a mercifully traffic-free drive, I checked into the Best Western to discover that I had the largest hotel room on the planet. I'm pretty confident that my van would fit comfortably in here. Unfortunately, the owner requested that I don't test this theory so we'll never know for sure.
It looks like we've got a fun weekend ahead of us: Tomorrow morning, we'll be up bright and early to do some door-knocking in Merritt. After convincing the riding to elect a Liberal MLA in May 09, we'll head out to the Merritt Golf & Country Club and spend the rest of the day helping out at a golf tournament being put on by the local Riding Association. Sunday morning, it's off to Kelowna to do some more doorknocking. We'll take a break in the afternoon to have lunch with Mickey Patrluk, President of the BC Liberal party, before returning for one final blast of doorknocking.
Check back for updates!
