In Calgary, Mud is the New Black

Police tweet

Hi friends. Just wanted to pop in quick and let you know all is well – we in Ramsay are luckily safe, our house behind the biggest berm in Calgary – Scotsmans’ Hill. We’re surrounded by evacuated areas – the Stampede grounds, Inglewood (who has now been let back in) and downtown, which is still a mess. I’m trying to help out as much as I can… so am keeping this brief and will report back soon with news and photos. Meanwhile, I’ll share a little bit of awesome that happened here this weekend. Yay whomever tweets for the Calgary City Police. This city -and everyone in it- is making me proud.

And thanks to whomever took this screen shot. 🙂

    It’s so awful. My kid’s stepmother decided to visit a friend the night before. She tweeted from the airport that she’d arrived, then nothing. Eventually it turned out he friends had to leave in a hurry and went (with Gwen) to another friend who they thought would be safe,then they had to be rescued from there. We’ll be very, very glad to get her back.
    Plus my son (a truck driver) tweeted that the road had washed out behind him, then in a few minutes the road washed out in front of him. He managed to get out of Calgary and go back to Golden. He couldn’t sleep, so he decided to drive up to Edmonton, and had barely left when the road he’d been on to Golden washed out.
    Ack!!
    He’s home now.
    I’m very glad you’re safe, Julie, and your house isn’t touched.

    This post really captures the resilience and community spirit Calgary showed during such a difficult time. It’s inspiring to see how humor and positivity, even through something as simple as a police tweet, helped lift morale. Moments like these remind us how strong cities can be when people come together. When taking a short break from heavy news, you can also relax with some casual fun like x 555 game download on your device.

    This was such a fun and relatable read, I like how it captures the messy side of everyday life and how something like mud can turn into a whole story on its own. It’s those small, real-life moments that make blog posts like this enjoyable to read.
