No, HBC Logistics, in Richmond.
They're a wonderful organization to work for, BTW.
And the nighttime commute to there is Utopian --
coast down Vancouver's South Hill, cross the bridge,
and some flatland pedalling on quiet roads (mostly
Jacombs Rd) and the Westminster Hwy's parallel bike
path, where herons, owls, rats, bats, raccoons,
coyoots, muskrats and a couple of yappy li'l
ankle-biter dogs reside.
It's especially beautiful when there's a clear, indigo
night sky with a full moon smilin' down on ya.
The morning commute home on No 6 road in the rain
splashed up at ya by passing semis ain't quite as
pleasant. And the grind /up/ the South Hill, on
Argyle St -> (61st([?] the one with the push-button
light across Knight St) -> Inverness -> 45th.
Pay-off/trade-off.
It can get pretty foggy down there in Richmond
in the morning, too. And icy.
cheers,
Tom
