The sky would like us to know that it is ready to party again because it is Saturday night. Maybe we don't need another crazy storm? I took these pictures on Thursday of the reminders that lingered from last Saturday's storm (I was out of town for that one). So much water & so much damage

Today's coffee pass stop is Nuestra. The cookie was fabulous and the Americano was perfect. They also have a lovely station where you can refill your water bottle, or fill a glass with water. I'll be back.

Copying from another place to share my friend's amazing art. His main job is welding - art is his hobby job but he is good. I was talking to him recently and he didn't mention this commission, but he did say he had been 'painting a lot'. Now I know why!

Found the lake. They tried to hide it behind some trees

I'm in the Mosca room. Now the names in the hallway over the doors make sense.

Trying this post again without the typos. Because of the rain, there are a lot of sinkholes. This one was impressively deep and the road was completely blocked. There was a sign at each intersection indicating 'Road closed ahead'. This sinkhole is half a block from each intersection sign.

If you had a single key, it would definitely fit in securely

I can't find my navy Unbelt so I dropped by their location today and bought a Lance Cardinal Intrepid belt. I have wanted it since they released the print, but since their belts have a lifetime warranty, I hardly needed one more (I have black & grey). This is even better than the classic design

I've decided that I don't need to go out and finish my errands. That air quality is seriously bad

This is taken from a different spot towards the end of the third loop. The two main packs had formed into one pack

Went to watch fit people ride their bikes really fast. This is one pack of the elite men on the second loop of three.

My recent flight. I was masked. Very few others were. Easy to see the departure area (highest reading) & then the flight

I have an Alice in Wonderland plate bowl for summer & a snowman themed Snoopy one for winter. There is no sense trying to use anything else. I like my plate bowls for my daily 'fried salad'

Wow.

This storm is crazy. The winds are so high. I feel for the Art Walk vendors because this came up fast. It's raining hard and so windy that visibility is reduced. It's worse now than when I took this video a few minutes ago

A short video of the woodpeckers at work

It isn't unusual to see the pileated woodpeckers on the ground, but it is unusual for them to let me get this close.

Closed (to vehicles) streets everywhere in Old Strath this weekend, and it is glorious! It seems as if it expands every year, and I'm all for that

This one is still my favourite. It's still in heavy use.

Posting some photos of houses in this neighbourhood to emphasize my point. First, two are remaining 'normal' homes for this neighbourhood. Then several of the 'new normal' that replaced them, and finally one under construction that is massive but appears to be a single-family home

Went to visit my favourite fountain park today. It's looking lovely. Hidden (in plain sight in a neighborhood) Edmonton treasure.

I'm a Swiftie so I am donating to charity today to celebrate the wedding. A multiple of $13 of course 🫶

If you need to know where to go to purchase an auto accident, I found a place. Although it says accidents plural, so maybe you can't buy just one accident. The top of this sign has a phone number & the bottom is the business name. It makes me laugh when I see it

Just watched a driver drive into the short retaining wall by the parkade. Destroyed the bumper and flattened the front passenger side tire. See that short little rise? That's what was hit. There's no reason to be driving that far over.

I had to edit this to hopefully make it upload - love this one! Big log approaches the Menzies, goes under, then hits the High Level debris pile. Then it was caught by the river flow, drifts away and then goes by. It was so cool to watch

I love this - a video of a log getting caught at the north High Level support adding to the debris pile.

Then we have a few pictures taken from the Menzies bridge

Because I must document this every single time ... here's the North Saskatchewan river before and after the big rain. We begin with the High Level bridge taken yesterday - large part of the supports still visible & no debris. And today from approximately the same place. Log & debris piles beginning

Happy heavenly Father's Day to this guy. Pictured here, many years before he died, in his happy place; the barn on his hobby farm. With one of his favourite 'kids'
