Is the second one really a tank? Some kind of tracked vehicle, but no obvious gun.

It was likely an APC.

In the kids area, most are 4; a few (roller coaster, ferris wheel) are 5. If you go before 2, rides are one ticket cheaper...

Ran into Justin Trudeau last night by the kids' midway - we were each there with our sons. He was pretty nice - I went up and said hi and to enjoy the Stampede. Good firm handshake, but more importantly, fantastic hair.

If there's one distinct advantage to Stampede, it's that crazy, "nice little Saturday" conditions in your community town centre are greatly reduced. For the first time since moving to Signal Hill a few months ago, I actually didn't wanna murder myself while running a couple errands this morning.

I am looking to take my son to watch the fireworks one night this week. Any advice on the best place to watch? I haven't gone in a decade, at least.

from the cemetary by spiller. Tombstones make great benches and you avoid the crowds... at least from physical bodies anyways...

Karen Stewart sees its every year with her Fairways Divorce Solutions business in Calgary, which was launched in 2006 and is a mediation alternative dispute resolution company that offers couples an opportunity to go through a process to bring a resolution to their divorce.

“We have offices all across Canada,” she said. “So because of that, we are always looking at the analytics. What happens from city to city and season to season. There’s always a spike in Calgary after Stampede.

Relative to the rest of the cities across Canada, the spike in the number of calls is about 40 to 50 per cent higher in Calgary.

Not at all like it looked on the website. Actually quite disappointed in it. The maple glazing was EVERYWHERE.

Deep fried cheesecake was spectacular, though.

I was really looking forward to the doughnut burger and I hope to not be disappointed.

Deep friend cheesecake sounds excellent. I'll have to search out that vendor.
