Postcards in the mail, week of August 11
At this point last week, I was a little sad because I'd only received three postcards through Postcrossing, and I'd been signed up for over two months. I had sent 16 postcards and my first card still hasn't been registered, it was sent to Russia and is now marked as expired.
One week later, I have zero complaints! Because this was the week that things started to balance out.
On Monday, I received this lovely card from the US:
AND - what turned...
Mormons and Google
The Mormons are interfering with my job search. Type "Calgary Employment Resource Centre" into Google, and the first hit is http://ldsjobs.org, which is not the government resource I was looking for.
I thought I could circumnavigate them while using Google Maps to navigate to the closest government Calgary employment resource centre near me today ... nope. I ended up outside an LDS church.
I'd say it was quite deliberate on their part - they list themselves as "Calgary Alberta Canada Employment Resource Centre" on Google without mentioning the...

This death was like a punch to the gut. I've been sad about other beloved actors passing, like James Garner recently. But Robin Williams dying is just so hard to comprehend.
My family lived in Moscow from 1977-79 - the one in the USSR. We heard about this brilliant new comic and when we got back to Canada, one of the first TV shows we watched in the hotel room was Mork and Mindy. He lit up the screen and was so wonderful and electric - but you knew that.
I...

No drive along the Bow Valley Parkway is complete without spotting at least one wild animal. Like this handsome fella...

Moraine Lake again
Last week I went back to Moraine Lake, this time with a couple of friends. The lake was higher, thanks to melted snow, and oh so beautiful.

Kitties and the heat
After the unusually long winter we had, I vowed that I would not complain about the heat this summer. So all I have to say is "Wowzers, this week has been a scorcher". :-)
The kitties are tolerating the heat. Here are a few shots from today.
These two are becoming friendlier and friendlier, when Charlie isn't swatting Chloe for some kitty reason.
Little Miss Hermione had some hygiene issues last night, ones that long-haired cats are prone to....
