I'm just thankful all my family in Calgary is safe. Actually our main worry has been Edgewater BC which was totally isolated for 2 days. We had assurances from Calgary early on that everyone was safe. Now.. We just have to worry about the family in Saskatchewan. That water just keeps on rollin'. How like an ever rolling stream....
Mayor Naheed Nenshi is doing a great job for Calgary. Between his encouragement and Calgarians ingrained do or die personality..I'm sure the Stampede will be a go.
Go Cowtown!

There is some controversy about continuing with the Stampede and Exhabition, but with such a short time until the "start" date, what do you say to the thousands of people from many parts of the world who have booked and paid for their airline tickets and hotel accommodation? "Sorry you made the trip, but the show was cancelled; would you like to watch a video of last Year's events?" wouldn't quite cut it (in my opinion, as well as many others). Life goes on!
