Yee-Haw! It's Stampede Time!!

Don't let that phony enthusiasm fool you - we're not THAT excited...

It is the start of the annual Calgary Stampede today, for this the 100th year of the world-famous event.

Today is parade day, which means that I must drive Mrs. That Dan Guy into work about an hour early, before they close the roads downtown along the parade route. Excellent...

Even though predictions all week have been for weather in the sunny, 30+ Celsius mark, we got caught in a ferocious hailstorm on the way home from work last night. And rain is again forecast for today. Such is life, Calgary Stampede...

On the plus side we will probably check it out at least once, and get to wear cowboy clothes. Not authentic cowboy clothes, mind you - retail-imagined cowboy clothes.

Yee-Haw...

Chow for now! Giddy-up!!

Yee-haw! Giddy-up! Who has time to check it out anyways? Between both us working all weekend and long days during the week, even our cowboy hats are drooping...
