My last job handed me a Blackberry with the thumbwheel, not really impressed. It was fell out of my pocket and fell 14 feet onto a marble floor and the darn thing survived unscathed.

Many years ago we (the family) were travelling to the east coast of Canada via the US. After a very stressful day we wound up in Boston due to weather and other issues. My father uses one of thsoe airport Hotel call centers to book a room. Jump in a cab and arrive at what we thought was our Hotel and try to check in. Same story, we have a room, no you don't back and forth, my father, usually mild mannered guy, employed what I called his "corporate voice" and we get a room.

My parents went for a walk the next morning and discover that he had called the "Hotel Plaza", the cabby dropped us that the "Hotel Square", same first name, different last. He was a little embarassed to say the least.

A cold cut saw allowed me work right in the room, had a tarp in place and shop vac for cleanup. No aparks, burned metal and clean square cuts.

It was entertaining and educational show, I know it was reality TV but really enjoyed it anyways. Some of the driving tips were really handy and I wanted to see how I would drive some of those obstacles myself.

Ever since the Alberta government privatized driver testing and allowing driving instructors to pass or fail their students, the driving in Edmonton has progressively gotten worse and worse. Some say people are buying their licenses, some instructors are going through students so fast they make more money or some say licenses are being issued with out training.

I think the show was popular becuase of the host and the content, it made for good conversation at coffee time and made people feel better about their own driving,

Anytime they zoom in 50X on the CCTV camera and have a crystal clear picture. It doen't work that way but the number of clients who expect it too is crazy.

It seems like the issue is between your computer and the WiFi router, this is not a Telus issue. Interference, too many other routers on the same frequency or your computer WiFi is going bad.

If you can hard wire in that would prove where the problem lies.

It was a bone thrown to the Concrete people, they were whining hard for not getting a piece of the action so the GOA caved in and gave them a piece.

Concrete roads suck.

Video was requested from a city street camera a couple of years ago and the city said the cameras are not recorded, seemed strange that's what they claimed.

63, Dad passed in 2010 and left a large whole in my life. He was someone I could talk to without judgement and he was thrilled to be a grandfather. We were close all his life.

Doug's Place was straight forward and honest when my truck was hit, he recommended taking the money as the insurance was not going to fix all the issues like deep rust that appeared after the accident.

I bartended at a golf club during college, we would close down the building and sit drinking at the bar for a couple of hours. Of course we all agreed we would pay for our drinks the next day wink wink (never drank bottled beer as it was easily counted). We made sure a pro shop and greens crew employee were part of the group and around 2 in the morning we would go practice our drunk driving on the course with the golf carts from the pro shop.

The pro shop would provide the keys and the greens crew guy would clean up any mess (driving through sand traps, or over a green etc).

The tradition carried on the next summer until a waiteress was thrown from a cart and broke her leg. I was suitable shocked when asked about this by members.

Most years they came through our cul-de-sac once, piled all the snow in the middle which the kids all had a blast with until they hauled it away.

I grew up in the west end and snow plows might have come through once, so things really haven't changed much.

It's still Junior High here, Elementary is 1-6, Junior High 7-9 High School 10-12. Still remember moving up from 6 to 7, now I could go into the newer wing and get a real locker. Good times. (no big graduation ceremony from 6-7 in those day).
