You're crazy!!!!

I know a lot of people who dont mind commutes from outside if the city (chestermere, okotokes, airdrie, strathmore, etc). If you are one of those people that dont mind sitting in their cars for a while then you should be fine . Every Calgarian knows that our poor roads were not designed for the types of traffic that we are seeing theses days. It is tough enough just getting around the city . I guess I'm spoiled as I'm probably one of the few calgarians whom have been here since the 80s.

.. Did I mention you were crazy?
