Didn't know that - googling it seems to indicate Edmonton, though that's only a 3-hour drive and by the 35th century (or the end of the next oil boom) it's likely going to be one city.  Right now Calgary just worships the Holy Steak of the god Cattle (it's nicknamed Cowtown).

I've got an L-shaped balcony, so that's only a small slice of the 270^o view (albeit the one from the living/dining room picture window).    The south view is features less tall buildings and more foliage, during the 4 months we get such things.

Dang it, you're right, it was Edmonton.  Regrettably, that means I know nothing about Calgary at all.  Lamentable! 

Edit - here's a recent shot of the view from my house.  (The snow has gone for now, but it's dark so I can't take a fresh one.)

Our grass is green Why is that grass white?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

It's cotton candy.

[Griffin NoName]

Is growing cotton a secret agenda by one of our political parties to solve the economic crisis and which they plan to spring on the electorate as part of their election campaign?

[Sibling DavidH]

I suspect a leg-pull here.

King Cotton conspiring with the Iacobite pretenders to get back England, France and America?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

But wasn't the Euro the cornerstone of the stratagem? What will they do now that it is -allegedly- 'collapsing'? 

[Swatopluk]

Tie it to the dollar mayhaps

Just to change the subject back to a serious topic, how about this one I took this very morning at Acton Beauchamp, near here.  It's the traditional Herefordshire Grave-Cage.



Some of these old farming folk are so tough that they'll rise from their graves if they sniff so much as a whiff of cider.  Since the Parson permanently stinks of the stuff, they have to cage the most persistent corpses in.  Otherwise you get a load of putrefying skeletons hanging round the pulpit.

If the solution for zombies was found that long ago how is it that this isn't more widespread?

[Swatopluk]

Looks more like a playpen for the zombie children.
Btw, what happens when zombies encounter ghouls?

[Sibling DavidH]

These fellows aren't zombies, just good old-fashioned country cider addicts.  They may be a bit dead and buried, but the lure of the cider is mighty powerful. Ghouls are from Worcestershire and never stray this side of Frome's Hill.
Look, this is a ghoul:

This is a zombie:

And this is a normal dead farmer out of his grave and looking for cider:

If it wasn't for his intellectual air the last one could be a Fenland farmer. In fact they all could.

Are you sure that cage thing wasn't so the dearly departed could take his pet rabbit with him?

[Sibling DavidH]

Too low.
