For April Fools’ Day 2013, Google Maps has a Treasure Map mode. I found Vegreville’s treasure! What treasure does your city have?

UPDATE:

NO WAY! Street View gives you a pirate telescope view! It’s me in the Rice Rocket! HAHA!

Lately, Alberta has been hit by an unusual amount of wicked storms. This storm was actually close to me! The lightning was rippling through the clouds making me wish I had a video camera. What an absolutely stunning evening!

This bolt was cool to watch, as two smaller bolts merged to make the mega bolt that struck the ground. I am particularity partial to the two lightning eyes above the main chain, making a face!

Puppies! Perogies!

Okay, I’m not Ukrainian, but what goes into perogies again?? Does this violate some sort of health code?
