Blog 21 of June

Wow.  Despite the destruction and devastation that has hit the city, there are so many feel good stories in the aftermath.  If you are connected to radio stations on Facebook, no doubt you have seen and heard many of the same stories.
  The Mayor called for volunteers to group at McMahon Stadium at 10:00 a.m.  I was running a little late (driving the son for a haircut) and by 10:30 they had more volunteers than they could use.  I hope those people don't give up hope in helping and find other outlets.  I'll keep you posted on ways we can help.
  I also love that we haven't lost our sense of humor to help get through these trying times.  Here is one picture that I just couldn't resist posting.
They found poor Harvey the Hound's head floating in the Saddledome.   
  As I mentioned I was driving the son for his haircut.  He needed to get to the S.W. - Heritage Drive.  We had heard about slow traffic so he asked if I would drive him.  Well traffic was fine for most of the way.  Then we hit Sarcee and Richmond Road and traffic slowed down to a turtle's pace.  It was frustrating, but also understandable considering most people would be travelling the outskirts of the city.  After about 30 minutes (in what should have taken 5 minutes max) , we discovered the traffic jam was caused by a stalled car.  If we hadn't been already late for this appointment, I would have found a way to help this poor soul out of the lane.  
Bill worked from home today.  His office building was open, but the city has still requested people not enter the downtown region yet.  I'm not sure how much longer I can keep him home.  He did seem to get some work done from home.
