Welcome to Fort McMurray

I have just moved to Fort McMurray after living in Calgary, Alberta for 30 years. Yes, I know it is my own fault for moving here, chasing the elusive dream (a.k.a money!!). I knew that working and earning money for my own business would be hard, I just never thought it would take me to a place that is intrinsically against everything I stand for.

What you need to know:

  • Moustaches, the bushier - the better, and if you have a handlebar moustache, better yet.
  • Smoke - please... If possible, please smell like smoke and have a smelly looking moustache as well.
  • The 70's called, they want their clothes and hair back....

Okay, I am only half way joking... But seriously people, what is with the moustaches and the beer shirts?? Are we not all here to work hard, and possibly have a little fun? Can this not include good grooming... I only wish that there were too many metrosexuals here (as in Calgary).

Well, what is good about this place???

It's pretty, it's green, it has lots of green trees and lots of water.

I think that is about it. I feel like I am in an alternate universe... So, here I am a perfectly fine Cougar specimen and nowhere to pounce... Sigh...
