They looked familiar, on the ferry from the East Shore, took their picture, took a few more. Bikers on vacation.
And, sure enough, in the pub, they tip exorbitantly - any tip from bikers, better than 10%, is rare, he's leaving me 7$ on 2 beer, so maybe he recognizes me as well. The rest of their party ponies up as well, I'd like to imagine that they don't recognize me, preserve my anonymity, but they probably do. Reciprocity. Small good deeds pay great dividends, I should ride the ferry every day...
They're from Drumheller...and so I enquire (I have to) if they know so-and-so...they don't, doesn't ring a bell, we chat, oddly enough I miss the place, look forward to a couple of visits in September and October, fossicking, find some dino-skulls and bones, other treasures...
