This morning, Peter Maher said snow storms in April and May are good luck for the Flames, there was one each year they've made the finals. Knocking on wood that the trend continues!

HAHAHA! This is like some kind of curse on people that walk and work office hours. It was gorgeous for the last 3 hours and now suddenly it's snowing like Christmas morning again.

I love crazy weather.

Man, woke up this morning, took a quick glance out the window and sorta recoiled, seeing all that snow. One good thing was that it was still pretty warm outside though, and I figured its going to be gone soon.

Fast forward a few hours later, and now its snowing pretty heavily outside, and doesn't look like its going to stop for a while. Stupid snow. Funny thing is I remember waking up yesterday, sun streaming in from the window, and thinking, "Ah finally, nice weather, no more snow and and shivering at the bus stops in the morning"

Woo hoo! I just got repaid for my morning of pushing cars. Damn multanova in a playground zone. Yay! The playground zone at 26th and 20th. I must not have noticed the sign because of all the snow and bingo... Flash bulb.

Son of a mother. I'm fighting this one.

That copper colored SOB? I should know better. I see him often. But I'm just stupid enough to regularly forget that a playground zone is on the horizon, hence my dependency on signage.

Actually I think my brother is coming back from Cuba today now that I think of him and he's flying into Calgary. I suggest you all blame him. It's like 15 where I live and is really sunny right now. I think I'm going to go for a walk by the Lake, maybe hit some golf balls before the Flames game....Enjoy your snow!

That sucks. I go to the same station and my drive was about twice as long at 15 minutes. Didn't really have much trouble this morning all things considering.
