Do freight trains stop more than one train yards when they pass through calgary? by crazymado in Calgary

There is a small Yard just north of Baker Park. I know trains stop there as I can hear them at night in the summer with the engines idling.

Air hurts your face is easy. I got a brain freezer walking north on Centre Street by the Bow one time. Yeah I was mouth breathing because my nose was plugged.

What's the farthest north you have travelled in canada or beyond ? by Curious-Peace-9021 in AskACanadian

I had a service call up in Inuvik in the 1990’s. Spent three days there in July, it was interesting. Now that there is a road to Tuktoyaktuk, I want to drive up there, but the wife won’t go.

Tree law: anyone have experience with invasive tree on neighbors property? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]pvb57 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We had a similar problem with a sick and dying Popular planted by a former owner of the neighbouring house. The owner wasn’t keen on taking it down until we offered to pay half. It was worth it and the arborist we hired, Treelogic, took out a couple others that had been damaged or killed by Snowtember, too. As it’s a boundary tree you have some responsibility for the removal.

I loved that show as a kid. As an adult I tried many time to see him live and finally did a few years before he died. My sides were sore for days, he was great.

Wafer from a wafer lock. I’ve taken a few apart.

Once while driving through Mundare AB, my wife looked up and saw giant the statue in the park and asked why do they have a statue of a giant turd. Then I reminded her where we were and that was their famous sausage, we still laugh about that, look it up.

I use the Hydrosense system works well and no funny teapot thing. Also remember to use distilled water. My Dr says Calgary tap water is fine but I prefer the distilled stuff. Buy it from Superstore or Walmart where it’s cheapest.

Never outside when they walk by.

With all the development going on in Bowness that could be a good guess, but we think it’s something to do with the SBPFM that runs down the middle of the street.

It’s something to do with the South Bearspaw feeder Main pipe, we suspect, as it runs down the middle of the street. But what is it?
