Please note the look of relief on Mr Hobbes face when he discovers that there is no pineapple on our pizza.
Found a lost Rottweiler over by the Rosslyn area near 100 st and 135 ave. According to its collar the name is Noble. My mom is babysitting Noble until the city opens for business on Monday. Perhaps a retweet leads to an earlier reunion.
I woke to gentle rain upon my tin roof, the sun still cresting the dark green hills. In its abatement, the windless silence seemed almost deafening, the glassy water, beckoning, & the rising petrichor called out for reckoning. So I put my raft in and looked out upon the morning.
This is a disgusting decision. Flaying herself in public to seek justice and confront the pervasive rape culture of hockey, the plaintiff has lost everything. Yet, outrage will not reform this. If you want to affect change you can’t give them your money. cbc.ca/news/canada/li…
So, whenever I concentrate I stick my tongue out. How the hell have I not bitten it off yet?! Anyway, @BCBikeRace was amazing and I’m looking forward to returning next year.
There are no secrets about how to fix this. Photo radar, road diets, progressive urban planning, enhanced law enforcement, fines indexed to income and electronic governing of vehicles. Or you could talk and hope people slow down.
Another life lost. 20 people have now died on city streets this year. Edmontonians witness reckless, dangerous driving every single day. It’s sure making an impression. Slow down. Put down the phone. Don’t drive drunk. We’re dead serious about change. Are you? #deadserious…
Hey, you know that iconic echoing “I I I” in the intro for Crazy Train? Let’s pay tribute to Ozzy and belt it out 6 times at 6 pm in front of at least 6 people.
An icon, but with the timing of his farewell concert, I have some awkward questions.
Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at 76.
Jon Stewart responded to CBS bowing down to Trump and canceling Colbert
Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward. But targeting a reporter - hi! - with surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Now, could we get a criminal investigation going, and demonstrate consequences to lawless actions.

This should be alarming to all ABs… The targeting of a reporter digging into potential corruption and inefficiencies in AB HC… The only reason would be to try to stifle the truth from coming out. It’s very chilling and sinister.

I we like to publicly apologize to my contractor about all those times I asked him why good work took so long and cost so much. Here’s to the amazing trades. I also need to get a hobby.
Well, there goes my summer vacation. Sigh.

Every Albertan should watch this. The level of arrogance & entitlement here is astounding, but sadly it's par for the course. The Premier behind the shamelessly partisan Alberta Next has no standing to claim "bias" in a report or complain about a lack of consultation. #ableg
Alberta's premier is demanding an apology from the Municipality of Jasper over a new report which concluded (in part) that the province hindered the emergency response to the blaze that went on to destroy 358 buildings, almost 1 year ago. #ableg #cdnpoli
