Nice try, fed! If I did listen to the Russian early romanticists, I'd never cop to it on a public forum.

Did you call me "fed" 'cause I come off like a narc; or is it because you are "fed" up with my nonsense postings.

Not LRT related and in Calgary not Edmonton, but at the McDonald's on Memorial Dr and Edmonton Trail (our toddler didn't approve of the hipster sandwiches we got, but admittedly we got a couple of treats for ourselves while we were there), there was a very aggressive panhandler. As someone who is very comfortable walking through Boyle/Macauley after dark as well as the Vancouver Downtown Eastside, I was scared. Is Calgary's houseless population still very much there, just more hidden and maybe more desperate? I definitely saw the houseless population elsewhere. At least the C-Train is safe. We didn't take it this time, $4 per adult per trip plus $2/hour to charge our EV didn't make sense vs. parking at Telus Spark for $12 and charging our EV at no additional cost (not the one under the solar hail shelter which is $2/hour after 2 hours but the one in the open closer to the zoo).

Yesterday, on my ride from Downtown to Bonnie Doon, a guy in a hoodie and full mask was using a dremel on the train to sharpen an object and his partner was pulling (interesting) random objects out of her backpack.
Fun.
Fun.

Could be worse, last Summer on Seattle's Sound Transit, a mostly naked guy - only wearing a potato sack around his waist.....came on the train with 2 propane tanks in tow....needless to say we didn't feel like getting blown up on a train and got off at the next stop.....btw - he was also eyeballing me so bad at a point that I had to take off my watch and grasp it as a "make shift weapon" just in case he lunged at me or my wife....you see, it's not just YEG where we have bad apples....
These experiences tell wicked stories when we get older Ian, we have to think of these little encounters as "excellent story fodder" for the future....lol
