driving home tonight i suddenly noticed that the grass on the side of the road was green, after 6 months of straw coloured brown - here was lush, green , green grass - the whole City of Calgary seems to be chirpy at the moment - the Flames are 2-1 up on the Mighty Ducks in the first round of the playoffs & everyone you meet seems quietly confident that this could be a Stanley Cup year
at the same time the Edmonton Oilers are also progressing nicely, having taken a 2-1 lead in the best of 7 over the Detroit Red Wings as well
sheesh what am i even talking about??? 6 months ago i would have been hard pressed to name more than half a dozen Hockey teams - but it is BIG over here & you can't escape Flames fever
i had to laugh last night, some youths on the embankments of Highway 1 just past Cochrane were busy constructing a giant penis out of rocks - a bit of a departure from the usual names & faces that you see on these slopes, which people construct by arranging rocks in patterns on the slopes
it was still proudly there this morning, a bit like a condensed stone version of the famous Cerne Abbas Chalk man in England
