So nice to get back to NY after 3 weeks in ABQ: Temps in the 20's, ice and snow on the ground, damp air that cuts right through you when the wind blows.

But, lucky me, I get to go to Calgary on business next week. I haven't checked the weather yet- I have the fear.

As well you should, Nic.  Calgary is generally miserable this time of year.  Luckily for you, you won't be working outside whilst you're there.  I usually get stuck outside in the weather when I visit Calgary (or Edmonton, or Prince George, or Saskatoon....well...you get the idea).

Stay warm. drink

Got a news items here.  I think we should have a rally.  Sounds like fun.



Three Reported Missing After Animal Rights Activists Take "War on Leather" to Motorcycle Gang Rally.    coffee waytogo


Pennsylvania - ~Three Reported Missing After Animal Rights Activists Take "War on Leather" to Motorcycle Gang Rally.~

Johnstown, PA: Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers "duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters," according to police officials.

"Something just went wrong," said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. "Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong."

The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, "growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats," decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event "in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats." "In fact," said the organizer. "Motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it... Ergo, they should stop."

According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960's era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting "you're murderers" to passers by. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began.

"They peed on me!!!" charged one activist. "They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me 'La Trene', and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!"

"I... I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket. And, he... he didn't even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, 'You can't prove that.' Next thing I know is he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and not left me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman."

Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers "farted on their heads."

Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed "surprise" at the allegations.

"That's pderbyerous," said on high ranking member of the biker organizing committee. "We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome."

When confronted with the allegations of force feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and 'farting on their heads,' the organizer declined to comment in detail. "That's just our secret handshake," assured the organizer

It is clear that this biker gang has their priorities in order.  They are making us look bad.  We need to step up our DucNights to include more of these activities.  After all, we wear leather, too.  Our leather is just a little more colorful ...and goes beyond assless chaps, vests, and fingerless gloves.   We must look after our right to wear protective gear.   waytogo

It is much warmer here in Calgary, Alberta than in New York City. Go figure.

Where's has everyone fled to? I hear an echo in this place.

Just finished my last work day in Calgary, head back to NY in the morning. It's been warmer here all week than back East. 9 or 10 degrees C as opposed to -2 to -4 back home.
