No place for a guy named Justin.
Seems that one of the reasons Calgary is a top city in the world is … you do not have to purchase cigarettes in the summertime. Mind you, smoking is now mandatory for all citizens.
Members:
Brett Bain. Fought his way through the smoke to deliver his message at breakfast: he is no’ happy with yet another Canadian stat holiday. (As Andy pointed out, we don’t really need another holiday for the indigenous folks.)
Sean Baylis.
Jim Bladon.
Paul Boucher. When in Fernie, take a sip of the local vodka. It’s clear: it’s pretty good. Speaking of pretty, Paul is quite taken with the rear view of many women in spandex cycling outfits. (And you wondered why Paul likes to ride in large groups of mixed cyclers? It’s for a cause, he says. And a very good cause, to get behind of, I am sure.)
Ian Campbell. If you know any Audiologists looking for a good job, Ian has such a position to offer. • Ian has found some off-the-beaten-track streams with cut-throat trout, ready and willing to rise to your bait. • Meanwhile, Ian is enjoying Roger Jarvis’ witty conversations while helping Roger improve his hearing.
Matt Dart.
Don Davis. Feeling a little white, he is. Seems the Indians on Vancouver Island are claiming every rock, tree and land holding as theirs. Seems so … petty. • Ah well, maybe they’ll get to rent a van like Don did … and get to pay such outrageous fees for insurance, they’ll turn white. Or do they get red when angered?
Todd Dean. Todd has been seeing to the care of his mom and dad in Ottawa. There is a new treatment for improving mobility and it looks like it might be beneficial for Todd’s dad. Here’s hoping it works.
George Doherty.
Don Doolan.
Gord Forsyth .
Mel Gibson.
Henry Heuver.
David Hicks.
Dan Kennelly. Engineers tend to know what works and what doesn’t. That’s what they’ve been doing for 5,000 years or so. • All this smoke may be because we no longer fight fires with fire breaks. Now we just throw water at them and hope they go out. • Makes Dan shake his head, it does.
Matt Litke.
Andy Lockhart. Andy brought some cool woodworking samples, today, for show and tell. • He also told a funny joke about using Chihuahuas for big-dog population control.
J.D. MacDonald. The smoke is complicating long commutes for son, Alex … and other issues.
Michael McLennan. Michael continues to string us along, on 3D printing. The process in use today is saving companies significant money on various projects. There’s a device used to wrap pipe that has saved a company $30,000 by switching to 3D printer solutions.
Ross Mikkelsen. No fan of yet another stat holiday. • And though business isn’t all that bad, he is losing six full-time employees (good contributors all) to ‘better opportunities” outside of Alberta. He asks: if things really are getting better in Alberta, how come good people are leaving? • If you know anyone looking for an accounting position, retail assistant manager, warehouse worker or gas fitter position, please pass their names onto Ross. Please do it before he has to give one of his positions to an eager applicant named … Don Davis.
Mike Mikkelson. F
Brad Pachal. His wife suffers from Asthma so smoke is hard on her. He suggests A/C and also, just keeping your furnace fan running. Oh, a check your furnace filter. And turn off your humidifier.
Gerry Parcells.
Dwayne Vinck. This Great Canadian Businessman is proud to share the fruits of his hard labour with the indigenous peoples of BC. They may be hundreds of miles away and admit to never ever having walked near Dwayne’s land (for mining) but they still want a cut of it, no matter what.
Bob Wiggins . Medicine Hat was a tad warm the other day. 41 in the shade! (Bob is just a drop of sweat of his former self …) • He saw a news story about Bruce Roblin and his amazing Hot Wheels collection. Bob wonders if such a story might attract the B&E types to White’s Flower’s. Fair comment, I’d say.
