So #Calgary#Alberta (1.6million) had 1 of 2 feeder water mains burst 48hrs ago. City only has 40% water capacity. Water restrictions issued so poorly worded many either unaware, or think it doesn't apply to them. Today city said we could be out of water soon as we are using it faster than it comes in to the reservoir. We are ? days from any fix.
On other SM sites many say it's all a scam to control people, egging on others to over use water.
I never dreamt people could be so stupid and selfish.
Former Alberta UCP MLA Derek Fildebrandt faces criminal charges, accused of threatening a group of teenagers, CBC News has learned.
The very same people who would have you believe that there are "groomer" teachers lurking in every classroom and school library, can't manage to pull off non-violent conflict resolution with actual children.

Caltha palustris / Marsh Marigold - we always called them Cowslips, but no connection to the Engllish Primula by that name! I just call them Caltha, my only species locally...lol
They are abundant in seasonally/wet habitats here, both open and wooded. The colour varies only a little (biright yellow to nearly orange,) but flower size and sepal (not actually petals!) shape vary considerably. #Wildflower#NativePlants#CountryLiving#BloomScrolling#florespondence
@plants Another for #Alberta#MayPlantCount
Antennaria species: not one of the small silver rosette Pussytoes, this one is also rosette and mat forming, but larger than the silvers, medium green leaves(they darken over the season) with white backs, and flowers are earlier than the silvers. This patch is beside the house, growing in a (not yet this year) mowed area with dandelions, clover, grass + #NativePlants Viola adunca, Fragaria virginiana, etc.#WildflowerHour#florespondence#nature
