Snoopy's Christmas vs. The Red Baron - The Royal Guardsmen

Moderate cabin fever

Tried to get out this morning for brunch. I do not get out much, mainly just for appointments. With winter here I tend to try to exercise in my building.

Edmonton had freezing rain hours ago so that was out. Where I live (a little south of Edmonton) the handicapped spaces and restaurant parking lots are still too slick. I ended up getting Sausage McMuffins (which I happen to like) from a McDonald’s drive through and going back to my underground parking. Patience is not one of my stronger suits however given time I will be able to get out more.

Tyra

Grrrrr!

Tyra stands 85 feet tall, 150 feet long and weighs in at 145,000 pounds . . . and is a landmark in Drumheller, Alberta.  

Unfortunately, there are plans to dismantle this iconic structure in the near future. Can't imagine what they're thinking . . . everyone wants to see Tyra and no one wants to see her gone.

Maybe they'll come to their senses.

Kind of a step back

Back to using the walker for now when I venture outside. Last Thursday it rained and then froze overnight. Trying to get around outside on crutches outdoors has been treacherous and there is no damn way I want to fall. Some months back I entertained thoughts of donating the walker as I thought I would no longer need it. Procrastination can turn out to be a good thing.
