1. Air ticket to Kazakhstan arrived today. Must mean I am going, though my gut feeling and Tanya's, too, is not good. The whole episode has been SNAFU to date but money is money so one takes the risks.
2. Bought three return trip train tickets to Kyiv for under $100. Two round trips to get my visa and one to catch the plane to Astana. We'll buy train tickets to Moscow and to catch the plane to Canada in November.
3. The hounds have been behaving quite well lately. Either the 6 weeks in lock-up while they healed or the fact that it is late in fall and no females are running loose or both but they re remarkable playful and head into their pen when it is time. Even Volk.
4. Tanya's cold seems to be getting better. She still has a lot of congestion and coughs up a lung once in a while but less often than it was. She says it is because our friend Ryya has it now.
5. Got word today of the sudden death of a colleague from Saskatchewan Agriculture days. Not grateful for his death but certainly for his life. He was a good man and made a solid contribution the the industry. Wild Rice Specialist at La Ronge, Ag Rep at Hudson Bay and Forage Specialist at Prince Albert over the years.
Continuing to follow your graceful life.
