TRAVELING REFLECTIONS
(Monday) Traffic out of Turlock at 2:45 a.m. this morning was pretty smooth. The San Jose Airport was really hopping by the time I got there. Calgary is a wonderful city -- a bit chilly, some crunchy white stuff on the ground, but all the people I've met have been refreshingly friendly. One of the things I enjoy about Canada is the civility. The other thing is the tendency to understate everything (No, I'm not taking hockey into account). Americans are into overstatement and hype. Oh, yes, there is one other thing I really like about Canada -- the free wireless in the motel room. Is that standard everywhere?
