The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth!!


aka The Calgary Stampede. And the kick-off is the Stampede Parade. Which I can see from my balcony (along with 400,000 other people).

The Canadian Snowbirds let off the parade - I almost thought they were going to clip the top of our building.


So I had some folks over for a Stampede Breakfast. Which amounted to a few scrambled eggs and lots of Mimosas - wine, OJ and Club Soda.

Ahhhh.......very refreshing at 9am! Made the parade go by very quickly. So you can't blame the crummy photos on the camera this time.


Lots of different floats. And bands. And cowboys. And tanks .....and....and.....


And lots and lots of horses. And lots of the things horses leave behind. They even had fleets of pooper scoopers dressed up like horses. Which you can almost make out below.

So a beautiful day all around. And now the real fun of Stampede starts. That is if you're an alcoholic.

Yee-Ha, l'il buddies!!
