Oh! The humanity!
It is definitely springtime out here. We got leaves on most of the trees and nearly every day is reasonably warm and comfortable. Took an afternoon nap today with all the windows open :D
Of course, we'll forget about last weekend when we had 4 inches of snow - that hardly counts.
Anyway I'll try to get and post some pics because it's really beautiful. Green and summery down in town, white and wintery up on the mountains still. I wish it would melt up there - a few of us are planning a long series of summits and we'd like to get started on it all. Most mountains still just have too much snow on top to seriously consider getting to the top still. Should be some awesome pictures from that. And good work-outs.
I go into Calgary tomorrow for LASIK - wowowow. Will update on that for sure after it's all done.
And finally, I have tried to keep the political commentary on this blog to a minimum with reasonable success but was informed of something by the Calgary Herald this morning about which I simply cannot keep quiet. There are certain basic, god-given and inalienable human rights that should never be taken from decent, contributing members of any society. Perhaps it should be no surprise that Sweden, with it's track record of abuse of the worst kind, should once again find itself square in the middle of a human rights violation the likes of which make Darfur and Abu Ghraib seem like children's parties.
I find myself unable to speak eloquently about this blight on humanity, so I will post the link and allow you to read for yourself about the unspeakable cruelty imposed on a poor group of Swedish inmates.
