How about that...

Stampede time in Calgary is full of marvels in public policy. During the 10 days of the Calgary Stampede buses & CTrains operate 24 hrs/day. In the other 355 days we're unable to run any kind of public transit between 11:45 pm - 6 am. It's an absolute miracle!

I keep getting ads for Nostalgia, a "townlet" in South Calgary, and the website copy is so nauseating. It doesn't even acknowledge the land is Treaty 7 territory 🙄🙄🙄

It's part of the Ricardo Ranch lands, where nature lovers rescued native plants from the area in 2024. #savericardoranch

I watched Pride Vs Prejudice last night during the Fairy Tales film festival and it put the past in perspective for me. It's Edmonton history.

It's also embarrassing the Ralph Klein government wasted 7 years denying people their human rights 🙄🙄🙄

There should not be any cases of measles :S
Today in Alberta - June 9: Alberta’s total measles count hits 809 cases. Dr. Sam Wong, president of the Alberta Medical Association’s section of pediatrics, says Alberta could end up with more cases than the entire US (which has 1,168 cases as of June 6).

Last month I saw a common loon in an uncommon place--a storm pond!

This common loon hung out for about a week--and thanks to my birding friends, I had a chance to see it on its layover :-)
