The funny thing was, that very evening I took a bus up to Edmonton, which turned out to be bone dry because the blizzard had bypassed it. A couple of mornings later I went to catch the train to Vancouver and it was several hours late because it had gotten stuck in that same blizzard in Manitoba.

But when I finally got back to Calgary the next week for my flight home, I was rewarded with gorgeous clear weather.

MrRobinParsons, who really had his panties in a bunch at the notion of being lumped in with us crude, crass Americans.

As a Canuck, I'm also quite offended if someone assumes that I'm a Yank, but Parsons was more offensive in a lot of his posts than most people of any nationality. I denounce him. For one thing, anyone who introduces himself as 'Mr.' anything gets my shoe up his *** immediately. Some idiot debt collector, who had no reason to be bothering me, kept calling and announcing himself as 'Mr. Van******'. I put up with it for a while, until he threatened to seize my mother's house. Then I pointed out that I knew where he lived and where his children went to school, and hinted about having survived a couple of black-ops tours in Cambodia... never heard from him again. :biggrin:

edit: Just saw you last post, JT. You must know the standard saying in Alberta; if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
