Dearest Alberta:

I take back all** most*** a great many of the bad things I've said about you over the years.  So long as you keep Lake Louise and Banff stunningly beautiful, keep the Badlands totally bad-ass, and have lovely, sunny days with negative heat index readings  (Honest to god, it's a thing!!!) in July, I think we should be friends.  Really, really  good

The natural beauty of Alberta is one of the great wonders of the world. I traveled there with my family when I was a kid, but it is on my list of places to see again now that Kyle is retired.

It was fabulous. Truly.

Ok, those pics were fantastic. And yes, the IGA, too.

I have no idea what negative heat index is. Must look up.

You know how they say, *it's 73, but the humidity makes if feel like 97*? In this case, it's more like, *It's 73, but feels like 69.* No, really.

Yeah, I still don't think I get it. I mean, isn't that wind chill? Whatever.

Dewpoint. Which is a thing about...dew...and pointing...and...

Okay, it made sense when the pretty lady on the weather channel explained it! She had graphs and everything!
