EDMONTON GLOUREIA!

Since Sunday morning, January 27, Edmonton felt the brunt of winter storm. Minus 30 degrees Celsius is what most Edmontonians are braving nowadays and no relief is in sight as the forecast says that it would remain until at leastThursday. Oh my! By 11 a.m. I had to wait for ETS bus 181 which didn't came to this east-northenmost godforsaken suburb. So I decided to come back to my mother's place and ask baby sis Budda to drive me to at least the Clairview train station. The road is already bad and we keep slippin' and slidin'.

This weather also wreak havoc to my kumare ContraVida after helping loca Yolanda, her friend, boost her car. Then afterwards, she in turn cross path to an oncoming ricocheting car. Tried as she may to avoid it, she couldn't. She too was skidding like swan lake so her van was now a total wreck after being smashed hit head on and sides. It's really bad luck, cause that van was just recently vandalized and $200 worth of glass window replacement were done. But I should say that she's lucky to be alive. An Angel is still looking out for her from above. I say, it's not yet her time (knock on wood) considering the horrific look of her driver's side ( I sense money and litigation is on the way, hehehe).

Frigid weather such like this is very normal on Edmonton especially these days and believe you me, I'm not complaining. Just learn how to bundle up properly and you'll be alright. But one can still sympathize with the homeless on how they'd survive. Let's hope Mayor Mandel do something about their plight.

Just don't expect me to shovel the walkways anytime soon cause its hurting my back. And by the way Mom, Lapuks, Budha, Abe, Bida, and Santa welcome back to Edmonton. C'est Gloureia!
