Now...these are the evenings that we should have been having in early May but instead it's early July!!

Someone owes us a couple months of nice weather late this fall...

Holy shit.

Wow. 12 and a half mins of stoppage and they score. Offside??

Waiting for the other shoe to drop in this #AB thing today.

Some shots from the fireworks show Wednesday night in downtown #yeg, set off from Kinsmen Park. The fireworks bring comfort in that they are the norm and celebrate the norm...one bit of control in a larger morass of no control.

Happy Canada Day folks!

Good news for Jasper as the federal government puts in another $520m in addition to the $385m they’ve already pledged. Meanwhile I’m not sure the Alberta government has done anything for the town or park other than pull their one offer because it was conditional on expanding the townsite which Parks Canada was not going to do.

263.9mm of rain for June at #Edmonton #Blatchford...though one day's data is missing for some reason...June 26. Taking the reading from Stony Plain, about 7mm, that's 270mm in Edmonton...about 13mm short of the record...

Close enough me thinks.

Now...moderate rain pls...
