Don't let them fool you Lance, I heard on the news that there was over 300 car accidents since yesterday...in Calgary

Snow makes for entertaining days at work, good thing I'm off for another week

Well I just wanted to rant, so I am gonna go now.

I trust you watched the ceremony on the tube. Very nice! Congrats Trevor and Good Luck!

You also have to remember Calgary is relatively flat compared to Vancouver and the lower mainland. The main roads are not to bad if you behave your self the side streets and alleys are a differant story. We were sent home from work today as we spend most of our day trying to navigate the side roads and back alleys.

You didn't miss much... Edmonton lost anyway.

Sucks you had to miss the game.

I got stranded in Abbotsford that night, the highway was closed by the time I got off work, but going into work at 1pm was miserable, windy and poor visibility, saw a good 10+ cars and semis in various ditches and accidents.
