Crash landing

Well. Actually the only thing that was problematic on the plane was the toilet which was rendered "unserviceable" and resulted in an hour and a half delay.

Did you know it's illegal for them to fly commercial aircraft with a ratio of more than 60 people per toilet?

The flight was bad enough that they offered everybody a complimentary beverage (pick your poison). This from the airline that charges you $2 for the use of a lousy pillow. Really too early for anything really good.

Back on the ground in Calgary, nonetheless. It's been a while and the city's changed noticeably, even with just my quick 30 min drive from the airport back home.

I've been dead asleep most of the time since then, but I'm enjoying being back in a city where the leading story on the local news is a two day old car crash, and where you can see mountains before the smog cuts you off.

Will be a brown Christmas though. It will be sunny and well above 0 the rest of the week. I shouldn't even need a jacket.
