Just a quick update to say we have finally moved into our new Calgary home this past week. Our lifetime of goods has been in a container since the beginning of July.
It wasn't without a hitch though. We were supposed to have our good unloaded into the new place on Wednesday, but the guy I hired to make it happen....forgot to show up!! Went into scramble mode, contacted the original crew that brought our stuff out from Ontario and in short order, had 4 guys show up to our place on Thursday to move our stuff in and set up our beds, couches, etc. VERY thankful for that.
On another note, not sure if I shared with the board, but I got my 1st speeding tkt. since getting one 41 yrs. ago in Myrtle station north of Whitby (I was 17) while we were house shopping here in mid May. Fast forward, and I went to the local court house to see if I could get it lowered ($198 fine.... 23 kms. over limit, 3 demerits). Turned out to be a wasted trip because of COVID impacts, court is operating in a limited mode for traffic violations. I was provided an instruction sheet and one of the options was to dispute the tkt. Sent an email to the prosecutor outlining the circumstances and ended up with a reduced fine ($126 & 2 demerits). Better then nothing.
Oh, and Alberta loves their photo radar. They even set up unmarked cars in playground/school areas, nabbing you for $200. My son-in-law had warned me thankfully. Speed limit thru these areas..... 30 km/hr. To get to my house, I have to go thru one and noticed my 1st cop setup there this past week. Enforced 7 am to 9 pm. 7 days a week. And yes, I was travelling @ the speed limit..
Otherwise, have been enjoying it here so far. Neighbors on either side of me seem great. Welcomed us to the neighborhood. Had another couple stop by yesterday and introduce themselves and welcome us as well.
