When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?

Nurse Ratched. We’re all Jack Nicholson and our “medication” is an Alberta Pension Plan, privatized healthcare, an Alberta police force and other initiatives even her own polling has shown Alberta doesn’t want.

Love Overboard but it’s Big Trouble in Little China for me. In which Russell as the “hero” does almost nothing to affect the overall outcome of the plot.

Ok done. I checked registration online months ago but still had to complete the form which just had info already on the large voters role and my ID. Why? Does Sam Mraiche have a contract with the UCP that charges double for forms with carbon paper? One hour and fifty minutes to vote.

Or a remodel of the bungalow like this one currently listed in Glamorgan. Which I assume is more representative of what the single family houses listed for 600k will become given the number of folks doing house flips these days.

A few years back my place of employment discovered a local rentable Alpaca. His name is Allen and he has now made appearances at kids holiday parties, company breakfasts and staff town halls. I make it a point to get a picture with him each time. This was our latest last week.

The story of my avatar. My family and I oft play Mario Kart. My fav. character is Donkey Kong. And I jokingly call myself Big Daddy Kong because my wife hates it. Has become a bit. Then this summer we went on the pipe coaster in Revelstoke and the photos made us all laugh. Am I wrong? Ha.

My son plays (and for the first time this session - refs) in the NFL Flag Calgary league. And I have to admit it is extra fun to watch him play under the lights. Been great to watch it grow over the years too.

Look I know I am a bit of a degenerate but c’mon this cereal either has a Grindr account or is for special occasions like anniversaries of birthdays. Or maybe you tried it that one time after too many mojitos on the all-inclusive trip to Cancun and discovered it was not for you.

I went to a community Stampede before he got elected where he was glad handing pretty hard. Had jeans like this on. Real all hat and no cattle energy for me for sure.

Remember when Dan McClean got his truck stolen from a downtown presser and the scuttlebutt was he had left his keys in it? Or when he was sanctioned for golfing during a city council meeting? Interesting to see he is trying a common sense pitch this go round. Seemed to be lacking previously.

I used the new website to show my interest in Covid vaccines for my family but didn’t realize you needed to do flu shots as well. So went back and tried to do that. Got this error message. Will be calling but clearly the system can’t differentiate between flu vaccines and Covid ones? Is 4 the max?

I listened to this album a couple times because the title made me smile and now the algorithm keeps serving me up songs form it and it is really growing on me. Long funk/disco grooves. The title track is as advertised, an ode to cakes.

I enjoy the texture of new needles on a conifer. So delicate and smooth before forming their pointy, prickly later form. Perhaps a metaphor for how we should all be? Seek growth to create a softer you, perhaps even for a time. (Sorry my dog walk in the parks of my neighbourhood put me in a mood.)

She also once had this campaign bus created. I think it is entirely fair to questions the wisdom in anything she says.

Friends I am a shitty clueless gardener and the lovely flower beds of various perennials I adopted in my new home 2 years ago are now rife with Mountain Blueflower. I think they are nice and the bees love them. But are they considered invasive or weeds?

This one goes to 11 is a fun Spinal tap joke but terrible as an AQHI. Stay safe out there Calgary.

Maybe it’s just me but every picture I see of the Alberta Separatists meeting could also just be the crowd at a seminar entitled “Where’s the Clit?” Like this guy in the hat “Look I’m not sure if it even exists ok?”
And that angry old man on the left. He’s been looking since 1962 at least.
