We our now in Calgary! I'm typing this on stolen wireless - there are about 15 unsecured wireless networks that I can detected in the friend's place where we are staying! Go "default"!

When Sarah and I got to the airport, we were both pretty hungry, but the Timmy Ho's before you pass security didn't appear to make sandwiches, so we figured we'd go to the Timmy Ho's that we know is past security instead. Which turned out to not be open. It was like 6 pm. 'cuz no one goes to the airport after 6 pm, right? Our dinner instead: half a bag of jalapeno chips and a king-sized peanut butter cup each. I'm pretty sure that fits nicely into the food guide, right?

Our flight was uneventful, except for the fact that once we got here, our plane had to sit on the tarmac for about 20 minutes because our ground crew was de-icing some other plane. And we both really, really had to pee, but we were supposed to "remained seated with your seat belt fastened." Sarah finally gave up waiting and went to the bathroom on the plane... and that's when the plane finally drove the 2 ft to the gate.

When we finally got off the plane, we discovered (a) Dave's plane was delayed, so he wouldn't be there for another an hour and a half, (b) they have temperatures in the minus here and (c) you don't actually have to pay for parking at the airport. Apparently there are lots of things you don't have to pay for in Calgary... parking at the airport, taking transit within the downtown core, cable TV. They have so much freaking money in this province, they don't know what to do with it. They do not, however, appear to have any vegetables here.
