I attended the Grande Prairie Art Auction last night and was blown away by all the artists from the area. There's a ton of them up here. It's really sort of amazing.

Internationally renowned artist Peter Von Tiesenhausen lives here. I'd never heard of him, but our graphic designer told me that he studied Peter's work at the art school he attended in Halifax.

Apparently Peter carved these six foot tall wooden figures, and then drove around and photographed them in various locations. He carried them across the country in his pick up truck.

You can see them here .

In other news, I was driving home today and was startled by a moose on the side of the road. This is the second moose I've seen up here. I love seeing them; it's such a novelty and I love how strange and beautiful they look. I think it will be a long time before moose sightings start to get old.

I've been reading all the stories on China's demographics and the problems it may cause for the future . Does anyone see a science fiction story emerging here?

It seems that the preference for boys has resulted in a HUGE population imbalance in China, which will leave 1 in 10 men without any female prospects for marriage

This has given me two possible ideas for action-

1. Find rich Chinese bachelor for own personal use
2. Start import/export business bringing Chinese North American women to the mainland.
