Up in the arch with Melody and Bogey, Elizabeth's dog I took care of while she was gone

View from inside the top of the arch. One picture you can see the Purina campus and the other the Cardinal's baseball stadium. Mississippi River is not the pretties river for sure...but still fun to see and do with good company ;)

Back in Tucson

Trip to Ontario and Quebec

I went on a 5 day trip to see audits of suppliers. We were in Mennonite country and saw horse drawn buggies everywhere. My colleague got a gallon maple syrup made only a mile away from one of the plants we visited. He is going to make "Acer" a alcohol from fermented maple syrup. We ate a lot of good food on this trip! Steaks, apple pies, St Huberts, and Thai. I finally tried "poutine" though did not have time to go to a really good place for it. It was still good!
Our evening in Montreal we had a couple "Caesars" at the hotel and then went to a sushi place. Along the way a guy was walking his ferret out on Cresent Street and we thought it was a fun idea to take a picture with it...must have been the drinks or we are just Purina people!
