After hearing about the high number of murders we've had in Edmonton in the last few years, sometimes it's nice to hear some other perspectives. Yesterday the company served lunch for everyone at work, and I was eating with a couple of mechanical engineers. One of them is from Toronto and got transferred here for six months. She went to get some more food, and when she came back she remarked, "People are so friendly here." Someone had stopped to talk to her as she was going to get food, but it sounded like she finds Albertans in general quite friendly.
So there you have it. Despite all the murders, Edmonton (and area) is still a very friendly city.

Today my church put on a first aid course for the people who work with the youth and kids, so I was there. Some of the youth in our church are leaders in the children's ministry, so they were there too. At one point, when we were practicing bandaging major wounds, one of them started singing "Nothing But the Blood of Jesus."
My first aid partner remarked, "Definitely church kids."
