Mad Hatter & Happy Hatter – February 21

Feb 21, 2017 | 11:16 AM

Mad Hatter
I was pulling out of my parking spot at a store over the weekend and I was already more than half way out when an old man decides to pull out from the parking spot behind me. Not only did he NOT LOOK first, but he kept backing up after I laid my horn on him. He didn’t even hear me honking and desperately trying to get his attention. I BARELY had enough room to pull out as his car was inches from mine. I was absolutely in shock that he didn’t pay the slightest attention. What if instead of a car, I had been a person – a child? Dangerous driving like this needs to stop.

I wish people in this city knew how to merge properly and use free flow traffic lanes. When merging, if you are on the road that someone is trying to merge onto, move over to the left lane or adjust your speed so that they can merge safely. If you are merging, you don’t need to drive the entire length of the merge lane and then stop at the end. Basic driver’s education people.

Happy Hatter
Happy to see our region focusing on renewable energy with a session for job seekers and a conference in early March at the College – looking forward to seeing some large-scale economic diversification in our region!

Happy to see the launch of Women Talk Medicine Hat this month, what a great way for diverse women in our community to get together, share their stories and empower other women!

Loved the recent STAND event celebrating diversity and welcoming newcomers to our community!

I am so happy that we have such a beautiful system of trails and parks to enjoy. This weather is so great, we biked to the library today!
