Feb 20 was the 18th birthday of the youngest. Unlike her older siblings who went bar hopping on their day, she wanted to go play bingo. Fun was had by all. #yeg #bingo #birthday

In less than 24 hours our patio furniture went from no snow to what is still accumulating. And our cat is comfy on the heat register. #yeg #winter #snow

Even with the curtains moved to give her a view, our muscular girl finds a spot to watch over the street. #yeg #dogsofbluesky #dogs

This frustrates me so much. In 2024 on time for passenger trains was 51%. We really need a Passenger Rail Priority Act in Canada. www.railcan.ca/wp-content/u... #canada #viarail #alberta #passengerrail

Yesterday, the cat was warming up. Today, the dogs are prepping for the cold coming our way. #yeg #dogsofbluesky

The cat has spoken. Gonna get cold in Edmonton.

As a spouse of a teacher I can confirm this. “Come to Alberta. We’ll work our hardest to burn you out and get you to quit teaching.” #yeg #albertateachers #alberta

This art piece is on the edge of the University of Alberta. Now, in my second week of my second year of university, after a three decades break, I look at this art with an even greater appreciation. Learning is for life. #uofa #education #yeg

Third summer reading complete. Excellent book and educational and interesting. The smoke at the top of the pic is from an appliance recycling fire. Smoke is now everywhere. Not related to the book but wonder if the fire department could get some ideas for how to put out this fire #urban #yeg

The joys of running before the temperatures hit over 30 degrees. 12 km = sleeping puppy = silent bliss #dogs #running #yeg

Everyday. Go to the bathroom, cats are watching, leave the house, pup is watching. You can never be lonely when you have fur babies. #dogs #cats #yeg

Camping the last 10 days and pouring rain in Vancouver. Everyone is sleeping, listening to the rain hit the roof of the trailer. #lazydaysofsummer #dogsofbluesky #camping

Summer reading book #3 under way. Very interesting thus far on big projects going off the rails like California HSR.

Gary @garyedmtours.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Summer reading book #2 all done. Excellent read with chapters all short and sweet, so you can read a couple of chapters every few days and not lose the story. #urban #mobility #trafficengineer

This is our 11 month old after 16 minutes of zooming up and down the hall. She is now in resting pose. #dogsofbluesky #yeg #puppies

Sometimes we run, sometimes we are race directors. This weekend we volunteered for Sinister 7 at one of their remote checkpoints. Hiked in the 8 km, set up the station and volunteered for about 9 hours then hiked 8 km back. It was a great time with my lovely wife. #running #Alberta #volunteer

This is a flaring stack on a Friday evening just east of Edmonton in Refinery Row. Locals call it Mordor. #climatechange #yeg

This is my street in Edmonton. The first pics show a beautiful canopy. This past week, all gone. Our condo board got advice that the trees were causing sewer line problems and a plan to update the sidewalk would require ALL the trees to be removed. #forestecol #yeg

First mountain adventure with the little one. Both dogs were obviously pumped to be in Nordegg and 10 km later, success. Glad to have a little creek for both to cool off and drink. #dogsofbluesky #Alberta #yeg

Running in part of Edmontons river valley system. w With two of the best running partners anyone can have. #yeg #dogsofbluesky #nature

This little one ran her longest so far. 12 km with the old man slow group. Quietest she's been in months! #dogsofbluesky

While I'm studying for my finals, these two decided to snooze on one cat tree. Yes there was no extra space on top. #catsofbluesky

Now on to my third urban planning book in 2025. So far, so good. Chapter 9 explains traffic engineers aren't really trying to kill you on purpose, just most don't really care. #urbanplanning

Cicely with Autumn. All our puppy wants to do is be friends with the cat. This pic really shows her muscles. Yikes at 7 months. #dogsofbluesky #catsofbluesky

On this mornings run through Whitemud Park, I took photos of these two piles of what look like snow but seem to be more foam. Anyone know what that is? #yeg #wintermystery

The hares I saw on my walk to catch the lrt did not help me on my stats midterm. And I come home and 3 animals are sleeping where they should while one puppy is sleeping on our bed. Life with animals. #dogsofbluesky #catsofbluesky

Another reason why bike lanes are important. Sometimes, it needs to be used as an emergency route. A garbage truck was stalled around the corner blocking the one lane and the snowbank a bit too deep to drive through. #bikelanes #yeg

Buy a new delux cat tree, and where does one cat lay? His favourite dining room chair of course! #catsofbluesky

Caught in the act of sleeping in the big bed after mom and dad left for work by our youngest. Autumn is getting too comfortable in our house, it seems. #puppymischief #dogsofbluesky

Gary @garyedmtours.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Autumn gets the bed, Belle gets the floor as they sleep close or together. Vet visit yesterday, Autumn now 13.3 kg. When we got her Oct 30, she was 2.9 kg. She may match our girl. #dogsofbluesky #yeg
