I recently spent 6 days in Alberta for vacation and I took almost 500 pictures on my phone, so now I gotta figure that out
CANADA DAY 1
Calgary
Approaching the Rockies
Bow River Valley
Banff
Lake Louise
Story time:
My flight was supposed to leave late but got delayed further so I missed my connection in Toronto. Thankfully Air Canada actually provided a hotel so I got ~3 hours of extra sleep and in the end it worked out nicely because we got to see the mountains driving in from the city. The original plan was to land around 02:00, get the car, and drive straight west in the dark but I liked the way things turned out in the end. Had a spontaneous lunch at a brewery Cochrane where the waitress loved our Virginia licenses. Ended the day at the campground below Lake Louise
so uh update on this apparently the government sued amazon because they were just signing people up for prime without them knowing
I found out about this because I got an email from venmo saying the FTC had sent me $51 (the max payment allowed by the settlement) and that didn’t seem real so I looked it up and yeah wow big surprise amazon sucks
I never quite understood those advertisements for apps that track your spending to catch subscription stuff, but this morning I was looking at my bank statement and discovered that apparently I’ve been paying for amazon prime since April 2022 
went through some screenshots on my work computer and found this awesome automatic transcription of a voicemail a coworker sent me exactly a year ago
anyway now that I’m back and have consistent internet connection again I will be posting canada pictures soon. I got some crazy stuff
attempting a flight to calgary but I might end up stranded in toronto we’ll just have to wait and see 
this morning npr played moog city on the radio after advertising a story about data centers for later and it was very surreal
“I want to believe” bumper sticker but instead of some alien or bigfoot it’s the mongolian death worm
maybe someday there will be a team that I root for and care about that can actually do well but today is not that day
