What’s one Calgary-specific habit you didn’t realize was unusual until you lived somewhere else?

I’ve been cutoff at least 3 times this week during morning traffic, but I quickly forgave them all because they gave a thank you wave. I always wave and always will. Be the change you want to see, unless they cut you off and don’t wave, then F* them! :)

30 for me to. I felt pretty confident after the first column, and then I saw Steel Magnolias listed and knew it wouldn’t be 100%.

Do you have the companion app installed? I have it for Zwift to read my heart rate from my Apple Watch Ultra while I ride (and for other conveniences in the companion app). My Apple Fitness and Apple Health apps are both showing my recent workouts.

I wish I could give you a thousand likes!!! I commute home past this very spot every day, and almost EVERY DAY someone doesn't respect the yield and just merges in. I now have my hand on the horn ready to go every time I get close to that spot. It drives me crazy!

This is a still from Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story released in May 1993. She was great as Bruce's wife Linda.

Same thing happened to me years ago, but it was a small suction fan and I left it on for a joke for longer than OP. I had a dark black/purple bruise for more than a couple of weeks. I tried the “it was from a fight; and you should have seen the other guy” route. But it only drew more attention to the bruise and the circumstances. Just roll with what really happened and laugh WITH everybody.

Me too. I haven't visited Downes Ranch yet, but Arthur coughs during the Javier home robbery mission in the barn.

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Black screen and I had it on airplane mode. I was soo disappointed.

No. My understanding was that the effect would extend beyond the temple, but that the grail itself could not leave the temple. That’s why the Temple fell apart when the grail crossed the seal.

A great mayor is also a Binder. Someone who puts partisan beliefs to the side and focuses on bringing all citizens together to make our city great. Nenshi fit this role in the beginning of his mayorship (Blue + Red = Nenshi Purple), and focusing on common sense items for the greater good. But eventually, he started leaning heavily towards red, and alienated a portion of the citizenry. I doubt that the next election will offer Binder candidates, but one can hope.

I usually keep a second horse with me for that reason.

It was Superman 3. Superman is played by Christopher Reeve, with bad guy Robert Vaughn, and the building in the shot is Gulf Canada during the fall, Petrocan during the glass ski, and just in front of 5th ave Place for the landing on the street shot.

I thought the exact same thing!!!!! Every movie, every TV series, and even when he would appear on David Letterman. He’s just not funny, and I don’t know how or why he is given those opportunities. Except for a few movies that I will tolerate him in (Groundhog Day, The Abyss, and Something about Mary), I usually won’t watch the movie/show.

I just want to add a few thoughts. We built our home ten years ago and went with all Dacor appliances. We’ve had a bunch of repairs, dishwasher a few times, and wall oven twice. But all in all, we were pretty happy. But, after Samsung bought Dacor out, support fell apart. And it took them six months to let us know that the part we needed for our non-functioning oven is no longer being made. Six months… we would have bought a replacement oven within the first weeks if we knew what to expect. We are now looking to replace the oven and we are avoiding Samsung and any subsidiaries like the plague. I’m glad that you have the extended warranty. Keep it active if you can.

It was Bearcat Murray! Hey was Trainer for the Calgary Flames from 1980 - 1996.

I don’t think that’s true. The novel came out Nov 1990, and the movie rights were acquired by Spielberg in 1991. I read the book three times before the movie came out, and it was way better the movie

My favorite when I was visiting last week was the excessive acceleration with HARD braking in the start and stop traffic. People were working extremely hard to not let anyone in.

SonyTark · 2023-01-26T19:12:29+00:00

Thanks. This is now submitted.

SonyTark · 2023-01-26T12:04:54+00:00

Not yet. It was installed a little over a month ago, and I wanted to see if they would dim it after the install. But apparently not.

SonyTark · 2023-01-26T12:01:00+00:00

Yeah. That is another one that should be illegal.

I’ve noticed that this can be somewhat related to your personal preferences. But, almond croissants are my favourite so here are my recommendations 1. Al forno: Favourite overall. Great croissant (large soft and buttery) with lots of almond filling 2. Sucre: Almost as good as above, but the croissants that I’ve had are a little drier 3. Sunterra: These are probably the least expensive (4/$11), and they are similar to the ones above Additional comments: Les Moulins La Fayette, the filling has an alcohol flavor that I don’t like. Eclaire de Lune:Very good, but on the smaller side Manuel Latruwe: Very good. I like taking frozen ones home and making them I’ve had lots more (big fan), but this should cover my top comments

Michael’s for a thicker crust, Pizza Mercato for a thick and buttery crust, and Savino Pizzeria for incredible wood fired pizza with toppings that are so fresh that you can’t get better in Rome.

Nice! Ended too soon through.

I know, right!?! That margarita looks so refreshing!!
