They have great colors for their muscle cars for sure.

A B-29 just flew low over Waterloo. It was glorious. Not sure what it was doing here but I'm too lazy to google



It's at the Canadian War Plane Heritage Museum in Hamilton. It's going around to various airports for shows.

My dad told me about it (he's on the board of directors for the Lancaster restoration team in Windsor and his wife's nephew is a big shot at the Heritage Museum).

There was a B-17 in Kingston last month, apparently you could pay to go up in it.  Didn't get to see it, but did see a C-130 doing a crazy low banked turn over Sharbot Lake a couple of weeks ago.  We thought he was crashing, he was that low. :o

You can pay to go in the B-29 too. $600 iirc.

This is NOT fog. 

it's SMOKE from BC forest fire.  in Calgary.  this is the worst i've seen including horrible smoke last year.

there's supposed to be downtown in the middle of that photo.  about 2 km from where this photo was taken.

i can smell smoke in our office/house/car/facking everywhere.

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

According to firesmoke.ca a bulk of this smoke is coming from the US. It was dark this morning at 8am in Edmonton, streetlights were on and everyone had headlights on.

We were at the museum about a month ago. I looked into the rides available and cost for each.

Yup, she'll be learning to drive soon!
She has decided already she wants a small SUV.

My kiddo has her beginners. So far she's only expressed interest in mini and the 500. I see some hard lessons in her future.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
