Alberta got hit with a massive blizzard a few days ago. We've never seen this much snow in a very long time. Cars, semi trucks, and even fire trucks were stuck in the deep drifts! Schools were cancelled. Highways were shut down and / or had a tow ban in effect. (Apparently, that literally meant that no one was allowed to tow a vehicle / trailer or essentially rescue a stranded car out of a ditch on the highway because it was too dangerous.) Nasty.

If a short thin skirt, skinny strap tank top and free flowing blonde hair will help to get me far for free, I guess I can admit that she's got it perfectly right!

I'm doing physio, seeing an c...

It's done! After hours and hours of painstakingly trying to locate all my McDonald photos on CDs, I have finally put all my talk about publishing it as a coffee table book into reality. YEAH! It bugs me that I actually can visualize a few more McD shots that I have done along the way but can't remember where I had taken them. Guess I have to keep travelling to find more McDs. Here's my photo book but you'll need a free Picaboo account to access it. (You can...
