I have it! A hard copy Fringe program. Yes, the Edmonton Fringe Festival website has all the details. But there are 40 separate venues this year, and 233 shows. So it helps to be able to thumb through the catalogue, and circle the “must sees”. Tickets go on sale tomorrow for the largest theatre festival in Canada - and the first and finest Fringe in N. America. #yeg #yegfringe #Edmonton

August 5,1975 and it's a Hostage Situation at Vintage Edmonton:
Figured we’d leave the car at home to go to Heritage Days, so we grabbed a couple of Lime scooters to take the train from Blatchford Market LRT Station. Turns out you can’t park scooters anywhere near the station.
Got off the train at Stadium and grabbed a couple other scooters. Turns out you can’t park them anywhere near Northlands, so we had to walk through half a mile of parking for cars.
What are we even doing?

The #ClimateEmergency is fueling endless #wildfires. After multiple summers of high heat and intense smoke, I'm personally enjoying a relatively cool, damp summer, when I can open my windows most days in #YEG.

That'll happen when you mostly stay in #YEG, although we had captive dolphins at the World's Largest Mall for a very long time. I often saw the first 3, growing up in Winnipeg. We also had LOTS of mosquitoes, and plenty of ticks, something I haven't seen in Edmonton, although they may exist.

Yes, the EPL Makerspace at Stanley Milner Library has lots of programs that library members can access.
I've only ever used a free version of Adobe, and I use it very freely in Google Drive and on my devices, with LOTS of annotation. I'd be willing to pay a small fee to do that, as I do with Evernote. I haven't used any Microsoft programs for the last 5 years, since their pricing structure and access got ridiculous.
You should convert your files to PDFs, if possible. And the library may have someone who specifically deals with accessibility, to walk you through the process if you can't visit the branch.

And, in fact, this worked and was a good way to beat the midday heat. I apparently chose the busiest weekend of the year to visit Kinsmen, with a national swim tournament occurring. Still, I parked with relative ease, used a pretty empty weight room and swimming pool, all for the price of $3.50 CAD. Sweet deal!
