Is there any better place to be in Calgary during Stampede Week than Edelweiss Village? Klatschers say neigh. This week's Klatsch features an unexpected guest; that's him wriggling in his seat on the left. Unexpected, you say? That's the same old idiot who always shows up in these pics. Right, but he was supposed to be halfway between Spokane and Boise at about this time. However, his transmission decided it had had enuff a few minutes down the TransCanada highway on Monday morning. His small red car having been rendered close to undrivable, the Krysaks kindly offered to ferry him to the Klatsch, so here he is. He's twisting around like that because he had forgotten to put on the nice cowboy hat which Big Walt had just given him. No pic without the hat, said he. So, here he is, hatted...

This is actually the first cowboy hat he has owned since he was a wee lad. There are some pics of him with his other cowbody hat around someplace.
When he finds it he'll post 'em here for a laff.

Found 'em!...
