Not Vancouver Bashing

I don't know about that. There's usually a bad week here or there during the summer. Not cold or anything, but a 3-4 day streak of rain in the summer is not out of the ordiary. This 33 day streak is out of the ordinary.

But there's apparently some rain coming by week's end. Was great while it lasted!

I like both cities.

But only one hockey team.

Last July sucked here. Our summer started in August, although September was pretty great too.

Last year, Victoria got 4mm of rain between July 24 and October 10. 4mm is what Calgary averages every two days in the summer.

Just four snaps on the fabric that snap into 4 adhesive-backed snaps in each corner of the window. Maybe too late for you now, but if you have trouble sleeping when it's bright out send me a PM with your window dimensions and I'll hook you up.

Would those work for blocking unwanted smoke from entering your windows?

Really happy for you guys.

I posted after I saw the weekend forecast. This one's not on me.

My biggest complaint about Vancouver is that too many Canuck fans live there. On the other hand, there are too many Canuck fans living here in Calgary too.

For the record, "Too many Canuck fans" is any number greater than zero.
