Just pick some random midweek day in late August to start, the absolutely last weekday of June to end, and a PD day every two Fridays in between...and you're probably 95% of the way there.
Which is why it's so annoying - it's very similar year to year. I could generate one that would be as good as what they'll end up with in like 20 minutes.
But I want to travel on the actual weekend they pick for fall break so my kids miss less school.
Whoever was the scraper truck in charge of scraping 11 street by Deerfoot City. Holy ####. Your ####ty job is going to cause quite a few collisions and near calls. That section would have been better unscraped after what you did! 64th Ave by Deerfoot City was normal winter weather. 11 street was a god damn slip and slide.
I white knuckled that turn and then TCS started lighting up like crazy after that turn. TCS hadn't turned on anywhere else all day. I saw one collision in the area. There might be more by the end of the day.
EDIT: I hope the cold temps quickly help to make that section a tiny bit less slippery. That section felt like it was water on ice!
When scrolling through stuff on Netflix and Prime and there is that one row that when you scroll to it it expands suddenly. Hate that feature, I want to scroll with pace.

There has to have been some kind of invention like heat tape for lane markers. Holy are people terrible at judging where lanes are on a simple 1/2 1/2 lane road like 10th NW. Heavy commuter route, so these people are driving it nearly every day for years and it takes all of two days for their brain to short circuit and turn a two lane section into a Kramer Double Wide Highway.
Then as two cars plus mine pull into the empty turn lane at 2nd suddenly the first two drivers in the through lane just completely seize up because they wanted to turn left from the middle lane because their pea brain was caked in ice and they couldn’t compute what the exposed lane lines in this section meant. “Lines? There haven’t been lines for the last 3km! I’m not using them now! Why is everyone ahead of me going straight?”

Now you’ve got me wondering what you do for work that you’d need $5000 a year on psychologists. Senior Animal Cremation Technologist with a specialty in cute puppies?
If you have kids. Lots of Pyschology coverage is good. You can get new Psycho-educational Assessements done every couple years with a private Psychologist. Way better than waiting for CSSD or CBE "Psychologists" to do their assessment.
You need them to get certain government benefits and be allowed to bring Voice to text programs into schools for instance.
oof, just had a hard conversation with a colleague back east that we had to let go. I know it's for the best but it's going to be weird not having him around. Good family man. Never easy.
Waste Management has an auto call system set up to let businesses know they're not coming to pick up until Monday due to the weather. Glitch in the system though as it's on repeat, apparently. I had to block the number.
Frost bite. Took longer trying to help a stranger with their car last night than expected. Didn't work.
After a nights sleep... ow. It's swollen and painful.
And I wonder if maybe the fuel line must have been frozen or something. USB jump starters AND hooking up the battery directly to a car battery didn't work. Car would turn a few times but not start. Yes, we did wait a few minutes before trying to turn the car several times to give the battery a chance to have a little more juice.
Is there something else I could have tried to help last night? Our only recourse after 15 minutes was to tell the stranger that they needed to call a tow truck. Pushed the accelerator while trying to start the car or something?
