A lovely new in-space music video, on the same guitar I played, from friend and Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu with the Bagossy Brothers - great how many schoolchildren participated: youtu.be/JZYm7lq1NYM?...

Due to a power failure no trains are currently running through downtown. The Calgary Fire Department showed up to help someone in a mobility scooter get off a train car. Mounted Calgary Police officers were walking by as well. Happy Friday.
