Desperate and Durty

Our conference is at the midway point. We had several speakers today and learned of some practical uses. John Mighton was the keynote speaker this morning. He is the founder and creator of JUMP Math, a charity that is hopeful of drastically changing our society with a focus on establishing a simpler math program. He is a writer, who has a play currently showcasing in Stratford. He was also an actor in Good Will Hunting.

Last night we took our rental car and toured Sioux Lookout. Took about 10 minutes to drive almost every stretch of road.

Today's lunch, which was at the restaurant with the sketchy sign, was actually pretty good. Rumour has it, it was pretty decent yesterday. Found out that the full name of the restaurant is Desperate Dick and Durty Nellies. Apparently, as the story goes, Dick was a pilot looking for Nellie when he crashed (hopefully pictures to follow).

Tomorrow is our last full day in Sioux Lookout. We are on the first flight to Deer Lake on Friday morning at roughly 9:00 am (no sleeping in this time). After our last session we will be heading to Johnny's Market to pick up several hundred dollars worth food, mostly meat, fruit, and veggies.
