:: Pics & Words

This morning. We are having beautiful weather right now.... CALGARY WEATHER ROCKS. I bike home in a T-shirt since the weekend.Last night. If I hadn't eaten a brownie and been getting a little paranoid I would have watched it somewhere without the trees and wires. I didn't mind. I did catch it until it peaked.This will be mine, soon.I went on a big bike ride on Family day..... dumb holiday name but happy to now work a short week. These birds were like where's Waldo for taking picture but they were bold enough to jump on my bike handles and look right at me. There were several of them.They'd rather jump off bridge than be photo'd. They just wouldn't hold still.This one got lazy for a second. Though because of the ice almost looks fake. I didn't fake it. Never have :].Boom! Gotcha. Trying to get away again. Seeing these guys reminded me of last spring when I went on a similar trek through Fish Creek. I stopped for a break and a sip of purple gatorade when one of these guys (different place in the creek) stopped on a branch right in front of me. I put my hand out and he jumped right on. He stayed there looking at me and me at him until a slightly bigger (older brother/sister?) came flying in and scared him off. He/she then chriped at me a few times from a branch and jetted away after their younger sibling. Things like that happen.Downtown. I had just biked through here and up a hill. Many joggers, walkers, and dogs were walking along. This street is called Crescent Ave. Very fitting name as it is clearly a crescent as well as a avenue and follows a hill a little taller than Eigth Line that follows the contures of the Bow, North of the core.The mighty Bow... fighting the ice with a beautiful colour. I don't know if it's the ice or the minerals in the water causing the turquoise.
Midway through the voyage I stopped for at tubby Dog for a tubby dog and a Steam Whistle. I forgot to ask for no onions so the pile of napkins is carefully dissected onion bits while keeping the chilli/bacon/cheese/mustard intact. And trying to eat these uses many napkins regardless.....fucking delicious.On an off note. This is something I did. the blue tape shows it's not yet done. But I did this. That's my railing.

Everyday ends
Ride, work, play, and think alone
Know that you are not
