Windy Weather

This weekend went pretty good, I think we both really enjoyed being away. unfortunately yesterday didn’t go so hot, mainly due to the weather.

Calgary was hit with extremely high winds yesterday (about 130km/h), downtown was shut down due to things being smashed into the skyrises and breaking windows amongst other things. The highway was littered with pulled over cars due to the wind throwing them from side to side and semi trucks being tossed like they were no more than a small boy’s toy trucks. I can only imagine how the vehicles in the air (airplanes, helicopters etc) were faring.

If that wasn’t bad enough, an Alberta alert interrupted our tv watching to inform us that there was an out of control wildfire near Lethbridge and people were being evacuated reminding us all of what happened to Slave Lake earlier this year.  

Good times, good times.

Richard is starting to get  a bit down, I think mainly due to the operation coming up tomorrow and all the worries that come with that.

Other than that, there actually isn’t too much to say today, so I’ll leave it for now.
