I had to Share It

Specially for the Calgary Police Department please watch this fun but important video.

OK so now please stop talk and text when you all are driving around town.

The last day of 2009 in the Calgary NE first a swirling Police Car was moving around, first i thought that the driver was drunk but no this lady Police officer was busy texting.

And then just maybe 20 minutes later I was almost pushed of the road by an officer and his car while he was so busy talking on his mobile phone that paying attention to the road was forgotten.

So Calgary Police you are humans as well and if you don’t want us the average people to talk or text while driving then why should YOU make the roads unsafe by doing so?

Today on my way home I took the back alley to my place and then you see thing you really don’t want to see. Why do people have the urge to dump there old furniture just somewhere in an alley way?

If you go to the trouble of loading it in you car then the effort of driving a little bit further to the land fill can’t be that much more.

And yes maybe you have to pay 10 bucks to dump your gabage (under 250kg) but now you risk getting a huge fine for dumping your crap where it doesn’t belong.

I would be so a shamed to just dump your trash in some once back yard, OK most times it is a company where they dump it but still that doesn’t change a thing does it. This filth just does not belong there and the longer it stays there the worse it gets with animals going through it and then the rain or like today the snow makes it wet and then the sun will warm it up so that it starts to rot and smell.

Come on people we all live in this city, why do we have to make a mess out of it. STOP it!!!!

And you know if your furniture is still good and sometimes it looks still great you can bring it to a place like Value Village they will be happy with it and some of them even come pick it up at you home so you don’t have to worry about it at all.

And finally if you really can’t afford the 10 dollars for the landfill why can’t you take the effort to dump it in a garbage bin because in 9 out of 10 cases I seen there is a garbage bin big enough to hold the stuff they dump within 10 meters. Come on people lets make this city a bit cleaner PLEASE!

The City is thinking about introducing more Car Pool Lanes in Calgary.

In a way that is a great idea specially if it happends like it does on 10 Street and Centre street in rush hour where one lane of the other sides traffic is added to the other side so that the bussy road side gets an extra lane.

But how does this work on a road like Country Hills Boulavard or 16 Ave?

To me these roads are not really up to an special Car Pool Lane.

For me those lanes are not really helping any ways because I can’t car pool as i am having a job that makes me drive all over the city working by myself. I would love to pool but it is just not something that can happen. And I guess there are a lot of us out there that can’t pool because of this reason and to me it almost seems that we get punished for working.

Maybe it would be better if they give Car Poolers a tax credit or something that way you can pool any where and that will clear out the roads a bit.

What do you all think of the Plans?
