>> Leduc, where I really grew up; the city is near an international airport,

>> Calgary, the other major city in my province, technically has two

>> This sign refers to spurs on cowboy boots, because Calgary’s biggest

>> spirit of that rivalry, the Edmontonian Deaf began joking that the sign was
>> really related to the sign for “garbage” and the Calgary was “garbage”. The
>> Calgarian Deaf, offended, decided to change the sign.****

>> This is what they changed it to:****
>>
>> ****
>>
>> ** **

>> Personally, I’m sorry they changed it! The original sign had more
>> character, in my opinion. But I don’t subscribe to the rivalry between the
>> cities . . . much. (smile) Anyway, hope that’s not too many signs all at
>> once!****
