We were in Banff but never made the 3.5 hour drive to Jasper. I've wanted to return to see Jasper and more of the surrounding area.

July 25 (Reuters) - A raging wildfire has devastated the western Canadian tourist town of Jasper, potentially destroying up to 50% of structures, and firefighters were working on Thursday to save as many buildings as possible, authorities said.
Jasper is in the middle of mountainous Jasper National Park, in the province of Alberta. The town and the park, which draw more than 2 million tourists a year, were evacuated on Monday, when officials estimated there were up to 10,000 people in the town and a further 15,000 visitors in the park.

I had an IV of calming drugs, no idea what they were. I wasn't aware of feeling them, even when they got down to business, and I was conscious the whole time. I just laid there and enjoyed it, but while I remember some voices and images, it was obvious that the anesthesia also made me forget stuff. My doctor enjoyed hearing my impressions of what I'd heard and saw.

Well I don't like the Microsoft 365 word processing software that is part of my new system. It's weird. The learning curve is steep. And I can only get documents to be saved as PDFs and when I try save something to a folder - it just goes to the Cloud.

I ordered a 2000 version of Microsoft Word that came yesterday.

I installed it today and I am back in business.....albeit 2000 style.

Maybe as the winter comes along and I have more time, I will do a bit of exploring in MS 365.

I am kind of dreading having to go to Microsoft 365. Right now, I still have the 2007 version of Word and it still works exactly the way I need it to.

Shit. This day has been shit. Around 10:00a.m. all hell broke out outside: there's a water leak - I just learned - under the sidewalk in front of our building so the city's crew had to blast out hte sidewalk. Since around 1:30p.m. my toilet has been flushing continuously and we have had no water for use. I can neither do the dinner dishes nor use the bathroom.

NOOOO!

I am very embarrassed about the result of the program committee yesterday.....I tried to be the voice of reason.....but that voice was drowned out by illogical buffoons.

Perhaps I will relate the entire story when I get home from rehearsal.....

That sounds intriguing...and not in a good way. $:-\$

I'm glad DR RODZINSKI's story had a happy ending - so to speak.

I just wanted to hug the kids at the reception desk, which would have been odd. But I’m in an unfamiliar city, they could’ve been like, “sorry, no public restroom, buddy.” Then the real entertainment would have begun because I was out of options, so to speak. Whew, is all I can reiterate.

When we first moved here Keith found a bathroom app he put on his phone for me. It wasn't great and he deleted it, however, we did learn which businesses were friendly. Then covid put a stop to that. Now they are open again.

Well, it's nearly 7:30 and the toilet continues to flush and we have no water. I am not amused. No, I am not amused.

Larry, can you at least turn off the water valve behind the toilet?

I just tried that. There are hot and cold valves under the bathroom sink that turn off the water in the sink. It did notthing to turn off the toilet, and there's no other valve.
