Edmontonian, wifey, grandma, former Winnipegger, ebike owner, winter acoustic fat-tire bike rider & known cookie pusher. Retired & living the dream. I’m nice, not sweet.

I’m still angry over an incident in 2022 when we were denied compensation after a WestJet rescheduled flight.03 Aug 2026 13:38 +0000at://did:plc:o7ljsko4daahemvfpwwjechw/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms6moejxus25https://bsky.app/profile/uptownone.bsky.social/post/3ms55o4uqwk2lCan anyone in Edmonton help my friend’s daughter?

Back in the day, we actually stopped at stop signs and didn’t turn right on a red until you came to a complete stop. Cracking U-ees in the middle of a street was forbidden & if you sped, you’d get fined. These days, it’s a free-for-all with impunity.01 Aug 2026 18:40 +0000at://did:plc:o7ljsko4daahemvfpwwjechw/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms24mf6sfk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/uptownone.bsky.social/post/3mrzkhkiabc2kThe dramatic entrance through snow-covered rock walls into Radium, BC Canada, an iPhone photo. #Big #BlueskyArtShow01 Aug 2026 13:15 +0000at://did:plc:o7ljsko4daahemvfpwwjechw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrzkhkiabc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/uptownone.bsky.social/post/3mrxlla2hrs2pThanks for the reminder, Hazel.
