Even though it was sandwiched between a frankenstorm<\/a> and an earthquake\/tsunami combo, Calgary saw little drama this morning. <\/p>\n

I had little hope that this week’s commute would go smoothly and was pleasantly surprised to find the airport empty and a flight that was only 30-minutes late… because of de-icing.<\/p>\n

There was much rain on the Vancouver side of the commute, but little evidence of an earthquake beyond a story or two. The city is expected to experience aftershocks all week.<\/p>\n

In the photos below, I’ve also included cobweb photos from the office and views from the kitchen taken with my new phone (with an 8-megapixel camera). Seems 3.5 years of going through airport x-ray machines finally fried my Google phone… twice. My phone stopped working just after going through the x-ray machine on the way to YVR. I managed to revive it with a factory reset. However, the same thing happened on the way to YYC… and the phone never recovered.<\/p>\n
