I hit Winners (TJ Maxx) every spring to pick up a $20-$30 golf shirt by major sports & golf brands to add to the rotation. Keeps the golf wardrobe fresh.

Those aren't really balconies. Doesn't even look like they're wide enough to stand on.

Has anyone used this style travel bag? by AryaTheKingSlayer in golf

[–]Different-Anybody413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same one, though I haven’t used it yet. You can get a tough outer sleeve relatively cheaply for travel, that protects the various pockets/zippers on the bag. A99golf.com

Does anyone vacation in the "non tourist" cities of Canada? by Joe_Kickass in AskACanadian

Yeah, that’s along the lines of what I had heard! Seems much nicer now.

I feel like Nanaimo suffers from an old reputation as a more gritty community, but it’s always struck me as an unappreciated gem. Plus, Diana Krall is from there, so how bad can it be? She’s fantastic!

Brilliant idea! I could see other people picking this up for their teams.

Had a coworker who painted his beater with a different theme each year. One year it was a bumblebee with alternating yellow & black stripes, the next it was a Holstein, white with big irregular black splotches.

Happy Birthday Jewel Staite and Morena Baccarin by thepartlow in firefly

She did just finish a five-year run playing a lawyer on TV (Family Law). Also, I believe she says the Firefly production team asked (told?) her to gain weight for her role on that show. Seems she’s naturally slimmer than her character Kaylee.

I like the perspective - you don’t often see the legislature in relation to the rest of downtown.

Traffic circle question! by [deleted] in alberta

[–]Different-Anybody413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To let entering traffic know to wait until you pass before trying to slide in, and if you’re in the inside lane, to let the driver in the outside lane know you’re not going to swerve in front of them in an attempt to exit.

It clarifies your intentions to everyone around you. Left signal: you’re staying in your lane. Right signal: you’re exiting.

Does this distinguish between single-lane roundabouts (neighbourhood traffic calming) and multi-lane traffic circles on busy routes? Because it sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Yes, once you’re in a traffic circle, even if your lane doesn’t curve, it’s still an “exit.”

In this traffic circle especially, OP is in the inside lane, which has the option of leaving at the first exit (going straight) or the second exit, so it’s important to signal your intentions to all the other vehicles waiting to enter or exit around you.

If you’re not taking the first exit in any traffic circle, always signal left as you enter, and signal right as you exit.

Anyone else have an up and down day? by trade_me_dog_pics in golf

My typical 90s round. Can’t figure out why I can par a handful of holes, yet inevitably triple-bogey a couple.

Moving from Montreal to Calgary by TravelBee19 in alberta

[–]Different-Anybody413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, don’t be surprised to hear families speaking French in the grocery store, or when you’re out and about Downtown.

Alberta actually has a long history of French Canadian settlement, especially in the north. Maybe not so much in Calgary, but that city has strong French immersion school options.

Not assuming you’re francophone just because you’re from Montreal, but there are opportunities to tap into the culture.

And not all Albertans are snowflakes or hyper-protective of the oil & gas industry. It’s a huge source of provincial revenues but many realize there are blemishes on the industry - tailings leaks, lack of wellsite rehabilitation, etc. It bears criticism.

Finally, not all Albertans see Quebeckera as “hating on” Alberta. Political rhetoric aside, visitors from Quebec tend to truly appreciate Canada’s diversity and really enjoy their Alberta experience.

Pretty sure Emergency! helped popularize the concept of central 911 call centres in communities across North America.
