A Midwinter's Hodge-Podge

Its a cold barren wasteland here:



Cold. Blowy. Bitter. And cold. I never want to spend another winter in Alberta as long as I live. Seriously.










The dog was good company on Christmas Eve. Farting, burping, growling, and taking peoples shoes [corrected from shows] God knows where.





And the Christmas Tree that wouldn't stand still so I could take its picture.





And all Santa brought me was a big pile of year end paper work. Taxes. Budgets. Death by a thousand paper cuts. Riveting stuff. This is why they invented January. Doldrums ne plus ultra.

Brother can you spare me a dime?

Calgary A Mess (Weather)

I had to drive up to the North West and the roads were sheer ice. I came downhill on Nose Hill Drive and slid through a red light. ABS = Anything but stopping. People are still tail gaiting and cutting in front. The police said there were 800 accidents by 2pm today. And the guy driving in front of me in the pic above was gunning for 801. What a moron.

Meanwhile on the radio, two dudes were arguing about whether or not Calgary would need a sea port to be independent. I kid you not.


Correction: 800 should have been 200. Everything seems 4 times worse. Please recommend this post
