Once envisioned as a centre for downtown for entertainment and shopping, the final demolition of Eau Claire Market, Calgary began early February 2025.
Steel snapped and tumbled to the snow-covered concrete as bulldozers ripped away pieces of Calgary's Eau Claire Market, a once popular mall near the Bow River built in the early 1990s.
The demolition is the next step to clear the way for a future train station that may never come, leaving groups in Calgary concerned the downtown neighbourhood will end up a casualty of political battles between city hall and the Alberta government.

Meth is a highly addictive drug that leads to a variety of dangerous side effects including sores on the skin. These sores can lead to infection and other adverse health effects if not treated.
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug that can cause serious mental and physical side effects because of the corrosive chemicals that drug dealers use during the manufacturing process to give it its crystal-like appearance.
Meth abuse leads rapidly to addiction and can quickly deteriorate a person’s life. What many people find the most shocking about the way meth affects the body are the sores caused by meth effects on the skin.
How Does Meth Affect The Skin?
There are several different crystal meth side effects on the skin that can happen not long after a person starts taking this drug, the first of which are the sores that develop from scratching and picking at the skin.
Many addicted individuals say that when they are “tweaking,” they have no sense of time or reality. They scratch and pick the skin all over their body until the skin bleeds and becomes infected.
Most of the sores look like a bad case of acne at first glance. But upon closer inspection, it is easy to see how deep the wounds are. The skin of a person who is addicted to methamphetamine is also affected by the way that they tend to stop taking care of their personal hygiene.
What Causes Meth Sores?
Meth sores frequently occur because of the hallucinations that the drug causes. In an addicted person’s mind, they believe that their skin is covered with crawling, biting insects. While they aren’t actually real, the person will still attempt to remove them by scratching and picking at their skin. Some severe hallucinations may even cause a person to attempt to cut the insects out of their skin using a knife or other sharp object.

SHIT HAPPENS (apparently we're with joe now ) - Composition Thursday

I'd love to have thought this was an actual bit of street art but, alas, I think it's just a weird sign. I still thought it deserved a spot in 'Other People's Graffiti' though for the mental image it creates. A ju jitsu car park? A car park in which one must perform in a series of ju jitsu fights in order to win the right to park? Or one in which you may park freely but ju jitsu trained warriors will perhaps jump you on your way to the ticket machine? I'm confused. You'll be happy to learn we didn't have the car with us at this point. Things could have got ugly.
Cheers

It's a sign of the times that I have a robot assistant to help me around home. It tells me when the bacon is done, turns things on and off, plays music, tells me the weather and traffic, helps me pick things, tells me interesting facts, plays games with me, etc. The future is here. But I'm a little concerned when it says, "I can't do that, Dave..."
If I were to name it, it would probably be after the device Box from the 1987 British science fiction series "Star Cops". That was the most accurate prediction of artificial assistants like Alexa and Google Home.
