At first I was impressed you track your ice cube usage, then I reread the sentence.

Props to all the crews who have been working 24 hours a day to fix this issue.

Yes, precisely. E.g.:

I learned so much when I worked at the City but it just scratched the surface. Such a complicated ecosystem. Very neat.

They're slowly reopening the line. We should be back to normal soon.


Man, it will feel so good to finally have a shower and wear clean clothes for the first time in weeks.

I think we all are going to be doing laundry for a few days to make up for only doing essentials.

I temporarily switched to paper plates just to save the amount of things needing to go in the dishwasher. Happy to be returning to normal soon.

We've got yellow water now, I think that's good news?

Ah, so that's where yellow snow comes from.

Mystery solved everyone

I think it’s a euphemism for something.

Like all periods of momentary hardship, I hope people have learned some new, better ways of doing things.

You don’t have to run the dishwasher when it’s 1/2 full.
You don’t have to water your lawn.
You don’t have to have 20 minute showers, or leave the water running while you brush your teeth.
You don’t have to use a whole laundry cycle to wash that one shirt you wanted to wear, you can wait for a full load.

Of course, everyone can and will go back to doing all of these things. But the important thing is: we learned something, together, that we can immediately forget, together.

Except I don't think you're serious at all. COVID has proven that we as a species cannot learn and are doomed.

Hit us with a meteor and lets get this experiment over with.

Better luck next time.

Kinda odd that McIver was there and the city and province spent a decent amount of time thanking each other. Call me cynical, but this mutual appreciation out of nowhere seems a bit suspicious. Are the UCP suddenly worried about Calgary and the impact of Nenshi leading the NDP? Has the city decided it needed to "kiss the ring" to get a better relationship with the province? All very curious.

It's not about having to, it is about wanting to and exercising my first world rights
