Gas discount cards? Better check the receipt

I went to get a car ‘wand wash’ this morning.  If you live in Edmonton these indoor car wand washes are like a poor man’s vacation to Mexico.  They are heated with massive heat lamps and full of steamy humidity. Seriously, it’s great, like 20 minutes in the Bahamas and only costs you five bucks.

In Praise of Birch

A beautiful stand of White Birch was unexpectedly discovered east of Edmonton on Thanksgiving outing. As birch has a long history of practical and medicinal uses, birch forest ecosystems need to be valued and conserved.
