Its Calgary Stampede time - I hope we all survive another year! For those of you who don't know what the Calgary Stampede is all about, its 10 days where the entire city puts on their cowboy hats, boots and buckles; free pancake breakfasts and parties start at 7:00 a.m. (if you've never started your day with a shot of tequila, you don't know what you're missing!), real rodeos and mock rodeos to attend; cow patty bingo; the famous chuckwagon races; country dancing and live entertainment in the city streets; and everyone says Yahoo! and Yeehaw! a lot. Needless to say, its a wild time!
