I am also confused by what a tuxedo theme would be. I like the idea of a broader themed swap too with a choice of different sculpts and colours, like spring or summer or one of the above mentioned.

Everyone started doing clean up today in the city now that the water has been drained from most areas. The city organized a volunteer opportunity for people to help in neighborhoods with the most damage and over 2500 people showed up to volunteer. They bused them out the the neighborhoods that had the worst flooding and people worked all day cleaning out basements, removing flooring, drywall, moldy furniture, boxes, etc.
Some people are still not able to move back to their homes until they are all cleaned up and fixed up so there are a lot still I shelters and staying with friends and relatives. I was surprised yesterday to find some streets and bridges still closed trying to go through downtown but they are scheduled to reopen soon. I think the transCanada highway heading west is still closed as it crumbled and washed away in parts so there’s no heading to the mountains for a while longer. The Stampede grounds are still flooded and the city has crews in there night and day trying to drain the water and repair buildings in time for Stampede which is supposed to start in 10 days! I hope they make it in time!

Things are getting better now. The reopened some roads and bridges but the river is still crazy high and it could take another few days for the water to drain in the flooded areas. I am lucky I live up away from it all and was able to get around okay today. Does anyone else live in Calgary or southern Alberta on here?

I think I may need one more week but I can try to get them done by then. When I moved a couple months ago I misplaced my paint brushes. I have been looking for them but can’t find them anywhere. I have all my paints here but think I have to go buy some new brushes.

Very nice work! The blue one with the tiger stripes has some gorgeous detail!

It’s crazy. They said in Calgary 28 communities were evacuated and about 100,000 have been displaced and had to either stay at shelters they set up or go stay with friends and family. I hope they took their pets as well. We posted on kijiji that we could take in people’s cats or small pets and a lot of other people were posting that they could take dogs in, etc. until people could take them back. We didn’t get any calls though so I assume most people found places they could go and take their pets.
A dance I was going to go to tonight was cancelled so my mom and I drove towards downtown to go see the river and we couldn’t even go across Centre St. bridge because they closed it so we just parked at the top of this big hill/cliff that over looks the river and downtown that has paths that go for miles and it seemed like the whole north part of the city had decided to do the same thing. The streets were just filled with parked cars and there were probably a thousand people walking the paths overlooking the river taking pictures and videos of all the flooding below. It was so weird seeing the streets and communities below filled with water. The news crews had trucks up there too.
The worst of it though was in High River, Bragg Creek and Canmore where some beautiful houses were either completely flooded, badly damaged or swept away. I didn’t hear of Black Diamond or Okotoks being affected much though. Anyway I know it’s nothing compared to tornadoes and fires and hurricanes down in the US but they declared it a state of emergency here. And the worst part is that the whole Stampede grounds are flooded and we are supposed to be starting Stampede two weeks from now so I really hope it all dries up by then!

I was going to post something about this last night as I live in Calgary and there’s been nothing but pictures and videos on the news the last two days of all the flooding. Luckily I live up north on a big hill away from the flooding so I haven’t seen any of it up here. I haven been wanting to drive downtown to see the flooding myself but they are telling people to stay off the roads and all our events for this weekend have been cancelled. A group us us were going to go hiking in Banff tomorrow and the Major Highway #1 has been closed as part of it was washed out. I have lived here my whole life and have never seen this much rain or flooding. Here is a website with pics and videos of it.

I’d love to see the rest of them and then we can all get a better idea of which ones we like and if we want to go for them.

I read about that treatment for rabies too where they induce the coma and saw a video on it where one little girl survived but another man they tried it on wasn’t so lucky. That is one shot I would make an exception for if I got bitten by a wild animal because chances or surviving are much better with the shot. I wouldn’t classify it as the same as a vaccine for a flu or things like that though which are much more minor and shouldn’t require shots.
