Who do we have to call around here to turn off the taps?

Alright, we get plenty of sunshine, and it tends to rain later in the day, or at night, but it doesn’t just seem like it’s raining more this month.

It really is raining more this July.

As if the long winters weren’t enough to make us wring out every last drop of hot, sunny weather we can get.

from the Edmonton Journal:

Katz may appear before council (If he shows up in a Batmobile, give him what he wants.)

Sober-minded arena report leaves me dizzy with questions

Woman’s agonizing death prompts cancer-care changes

President quits Alberta Liberals (You know how the Wildrose Alliance, and the passing of decades, was supposed to herald the end of the Alberta Tories? What if we’re actually going to see the opposition benches implode first?)

Alberta First Nations demand protection of caribou

Alberta soccer war: The balls’ in the court’s court (Won’t somebody please think of the children?!)

Scorpions owner hasn’t shown them the money (The Capitals are paying for the Yuma Scorpions’ hotel bill.)

from the Edmonton Sun:

Older bikers growing safety problem (Motorbikers, that is.)

from CBC Edmonton:

Oh, and I forgot to mention it earlier this week, Canwest is no longer in the newspaper business. All the papers now belong to PostMedia Network Inc.

Well, the Internet isn't on phones for Zack and I.

This one doesn’t really have a lot to do with Edmonton, except that I’m in Edmonton and so are you and so is your phone.

If you’re not like old Zack Morris over there (and me…) you can probably point that fancy phone of yours to all points across the Internet and literally carry the world in your palm. I’m happy for you.

I’m so happy for you, in fact, that I’ve tweaked our website for your phone. If you head to theedmontonian.com you won’t be bogged down with giant Flash photos and other web junk anymore. No sir, you’ll be phone-surfing to our new mobile website (ooh…ahh) which is clean and simple because time can’t be wasted, in this fast-paced world, waiting for giant websites to load.

It also means you have even more opportunities to read my mundane rantings.

The Internet: it’s on phones now.
