Last Day of UofA Dentistry Rotation in McLennan, Alberta
This ends the conclusion of my dentistry rotation in McLennan—an unforgettable experience in this Alberta North.
The McLennan dental assistants are too dangerous. Every time when I went out with them, I always got dizzy; aka, drunk according to Rita’s dictionary. 
That translates to a total of 5 hangovers in 2 weeks! 
My highest record is now from McLennan: 4 shooters and 6 beers. As a comparison, last time I went to High Level & La Crete, I only had one hangover because I only went to bar once.

Kevin said, “a moose is an animal that looks like a moose, you know what I mean, Sam?” Thanks Kev, that was very very helpful!!! Then in McLennan we saw a TV commercial with two talking animals. Wait…which is moose, which is deer, or which is caribou???)

I didn’t see any real moose, but several moose signs.
Maybe I was too sleepy. I didn’t have enough sleep the night before (Kevin and I partied till 3am). Strangely, he didn’t even close his eyes while driving all the way to Edmonton without stops.

I thought you said you were “stuck” in Edmonton. Looks to me like you’re doing more partying than me!
Cheers from HK!

It’s all work, it’s all work, Brian. Though, I had a good time up north.
