It seems like all the people you find at the stampede who are ignorant are out of towners, because from my experience Calgarians have a lot of pride in their city and respect for the people who live and visit here. Also, with that much alcohol flowing freely, people tend to get a little out of control at times.
For me the summer has been going smoothly. Haven't really had the time to do much. Working at the airport on these hot summer days can be alittle taxing on the body after a 12 hour shift. You can pretty much conservatively add 15 degrees to whatever the temperature is outside to get an accurate reading of the temperature while working around those planes. I definately have not put on any summer beer weight though! Sweat a little too much
Heading to London, England at the end of the month as well
