As I type this I am on my way home from Calgary. Indeed, I am connected to the internet. Indeed, I am on a bus.
Indeed - this is the 21st century!
Today was a good day in Calgary: nice weather, a little bit of exploration of a "strange" city, a little bit of new work experience... Good times all around.
In fact, my work experience brought me to the Glenbow Museum. I was poring over things called "Henderson's directories" and from year to year I saw the automotive shops and private businesses give way to things like Video Station and Mr. Lube...
Those books smelled like the 80s. I spent a few years in the 80s, so I should know.
While I was perusing one such edition of "Henderson's," a man - decked out in his cowboy best - in the library approached the librarian and asked, "Can I print this here?"
"Do you have a computer at home?"
"Yes -"
"Then you can print it there," the woman replied bluntly.
The man continued, "It's in Fort Worth, Texas."
Who knew that Texans dressed like Calgarians?
Yes, Calgary is a pretty nice place. Where else could you find something called "Engineered Air Theatre?"
****
p.s.: I totally should have said, "Indeed - this is a 21st century." Because that would have implied alternate universes and mirror-time structures. Because those are cool.

RE:
When you've got water stuck in your ear, how do you get it out?
dont you mean you have a healthy appreciation for metal? you *classy* guy?
if you do it right, you will have additional bodily fluids being secreted from EVERY gland of yours and other peoples bodies pretty much everywhere by the end of the DOA set, rather than simply losing some of the that extra water you got stuck in your ear from spending too long in the men's showers @ the millwoods rec center with all the 12 year old boys.
RE: Texans & Calgarians.
Edmontonians really aren't too much different than either, haha.
People call Calgary the "Houston of Canada." :) Cowboys, petroleum business, and lots of cattle!
