... a surprisingly large Rocky Mountain Bighorn greets you at baggage claim. There are, indeed, a lot of metal animals in Calgary Airport. Here in Banff, just about all the streets are named after animals - Caribou and Bear and Moose and Beaver and Elk and Muskrat. For all you NAVSA peeps who aren't here yet (and why am I here already? it had to do with the timing of direct flights from LAX) - it really isn't that cold. Truly. And I say that coming from LA. It's winter, yes, and there's some snow on the ground, and I'm expecting that it'll look pretty in daylight - but it's not like, say, MLA in Chicago, which (the last time I was there) was one of the memorably nastiest chilly dank experiences of my life. No - the air is thin and dry and wonderful.
