Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
My brother and I are back together, annoying everyone with our shenanigans.
Imagine the boy version of me, and that’s Pete – same loud laugh and big mannerisms, ridiculous jokes, high energy and lippy-ness.
He too loves cars – track day bro, track day – and right now he’s staring me down to finish this so we can back at it… kk done!

Learned a lot, my brother is a great tour guide.
It’s an oil town; if you work in the on an oil rig, you’re a “rigger“.
I wish I had more time here, I want to go out to work with them, be a rigger for a day, HOW fun would that video be… my weak blogging arms failing me, getting coffee at the Red Basket at 5am, seeing oil up close gushing around.
This is Canada’s Desert… like, it rained twice this summer.
The sky is HUGE, it’s hard to explain, and it doesn’t translate in photo.
That’s the Brooks Aquaduct, built to water the fields in the 1910s… of concrete?!!
The new way, that machine, drives up and down the fields and you can control it with your iPhone.
During the tour my brother and I turned into ghosts.
Been playing lots of pool, my favourite spot is The Legion. I almost beat Ron there… SO close I sewered on the 8 UGH.
The bars are in hotels here, and many also have liquor stores in them, it’s kinda hard to explain.
The two main bars.
The people here are genuinely nice. Not happy crappy nice, genuine; then they’ll give you a shot or two, so Canadian I love it.
Pete took me to Brooks Animal Protection Society, where he volunteers. Special place, and heartbreaking, too. That’s his story he wrote about adopting his cat.
My lovely hosts!
And the tour will end of course the city’s very best radio station, 101.1 The ONE Brooks.
Where I messed up the song introduction.
Thanks for a great time Brooks, I’ll be sticking around for your giant Boxing Day party next year!
Woke up to coffee and opening stockings, a family tradition.
The tree shone while the chinook melted the snowman.
I’m so grateful my visit coincided with a chinook, otherwise it’d have been a -25*C visit.
What’s a chinook?
I guess customs was curious about my brother’s gift hat.
We all got really into the fire log TV channel.
You know the channel that is just a fire burning? Whenever the arm came out to adjust the flames someone would yell, “Guys! The arm is on!”.
My day today. I’ll tell you about Dinasaur Park later this week, which was awesome.
Dinner time. Which was delicious; Kerri killed it.
Christmas crackers!
I like to think how many people around the world are wearing Christmas cracker crowns tonight.
And that concludes my Christmas blogging, that’s enough.
Have a great boxing day, don’t spend it all on the sales.

He called my phone one night at 11:30pm, and until midnight, this was me.
I knew it was wrong to be so loud that late, we but we could not stop.
My laugh carries, it just comes out that way.
Years ago I was laughing in a parking lot, when three floors up someone’s head pops out the window, “Keri? I recognized your laugh” and hello, an old friend I hadn’t seen in years.
My brother Pete runs the afternoon show here in Brooks The One 101.1
Click where that arrow is pointing at to listen to us live.
He’s hilarious and is asking me to tell stories from when we’re little and poke fun at him. Phft, okay no problem.
