Cancer.

Took my adopted dog away from me today. Only had her for 2 years. (She just turned 6 when I adopted her). She was such a sweetie.

Also, people who don't pull over to the curb lane to make a right turn, especially when they don't signal, so you have no idea what the hell they're doing.

Is it just me, or is the quantity of unsafe moronic idiotic drivers ramping up at exponential rates this month?

I saw someone pull over on Deerfoot to THE MEDIAN.

Essentially...the middle of the goddamned road.

If I was the Cop that pulled them over I'd have gotten in my cruiser and used those ridiculous Bush Bars and shoved their car off to the side.

How insane do you have to be to pull over in what is essentially the Fast Lane on Deerfoot? Maybe they're playing 5D chess and betting that the Cop wouldnt be crazy enough to get out of the cruiser in the middle of the goddamned highway and maybe let them go?

I dont know.

Its madness! Madness I say!

The first 5 minutes of driving an errand today, saw 3 different illegal uturns and a guy driving while on the phone, going less than 10 kmh, half in the driving lane half in the parking lane.

To be fair...even a child hit at ~10km/h...thats more of an inconvenience than an 'accident' really.

"Dude...dude! Stahp! Just...hey! Stahp!!"

Man, Dave Portnoy and his pizza reviews. I love them but I end up ordering pizza 3x as much as I should because of these.

And the worst part is he's reviewing around big cities and amazing places in mid size cities in the US. Our pizza in Calgary is **** in comparison.

Post some.

At the end of the day, the best Pizza I've ever had in my life was in Chicago. It was...ridiculous.

And I like Chicago Deep Dish in Calgary, but it is not what 'Chicago Deep Dish' actually is.

I watch them on tiktok, but here's the first result on youtube. A compilation will give the idea. Just seeing those great pizzas make my mouth water when I'm hungry.

It doesn't help that he likes my kind of pizza. Not thin crust, but thinner New York style pizza and he always orders pepperoni so that the actual quality of the pizza must shine. No hiding things in fancy toppings and names, no overloading you with thick cheesy pies filled with 3 pounds of meat. Just straight up "what can you do when you're reduced to your pepperoni offering".

Does anyone else miss the old style glass breaking every so often in the NHL? I also miss the sound of the puck against the old style glass at the dome compared to that "object against plastic" grating sound we get now.

Someone ringing the puck around the Saddledome's seamless glass back in the day was cathartic.

Phaneuf shattering two panes of glass in a single game was so awesome.

The seamless glass was done away with because the boards didn't have any give and players were getting injured, no?

My favorite thing is trying to guess the score he is going to give.

I have no idea why I enjoy that so much, but if I nail it or get with in +/- .2 I feel a sense of accomplishment.

That's the nice thing about paying in handys - each side can ascribe whatever value they want... One man's free is another man's $200.

Glad you two could work something out.
