Cool Things
1. Langley Starbucks.
Starbucks in Langley is so much nicer than any other starbucks location I've been to, they are always so polite and really seem to appreciate the patronage, unlike Calgary. In Calgary you basically get a coffee and bird flip.

Crazy Things
1. Cops for Cancer
If you've ever been to Langley you know how challenging it is getting through downtown on a saturday afternoon, it takes about five times longer to do anything simply based on the traffic around the area, and when one of the many daily trains comes through the heart of downtown on the CN mainline, the places segues from seizure to all out paralysis. It's crazy and frustrating, especially if you're used to the traffic situation in Calgary.
If that's not bad enough.. enter the "Tour de Valley".
Saturday morning, prior to leaving the in-laws house to run a few errands in town, I see a cop on a motor cycle fly by with lights flashing. It catches my attention. Then about 13 more cops on motor bikes come roaring by followed by ambulances and more cop cars, then about 15 cyclers, then 5 more motorbikes, support vehicles and two more cop cars. It was the Cops for Cancer "Tour de Valley". My first thought was wow, that's a lot of support for just a few guys riding bikes. 10 minutes later I take the car into Langley to pick up a few things, it should only take me 2o minutes. Two and half hours later I return, and I didn't even get everything done. What a complete joke. I met the tour de valley four times in Langley. I soon found out what all the support cops were doing. They would close up all the intersections to make way for the 15 cyclists to snake their way back and forth through Langley, an already saturated city, in order to "raise awareness". Well, raise awareness they did. Idiots.
Hey I know! Let's JAM UP A CITY FOR A FEW HOURS YEA THAT'LL WORK, MAYBE PEOPLE WILL GIVE MONEY! WE'RE COPS! WE HAVE THE POWER TO SHUT DOWN INTERSECTIONS, AND NO ONE CAN SAY ANYTHING CAUSE WE ARE THE ALL POWERFUL OMNIPOTENT GIFT TO THE NATION. HOW COME WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE?? THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!
People were pissed. Horns were not honking in support, they were honking in rage. Somebody and perhaps a bunch of people thought this was a good idea. How does this happen?

Having experienced Langley traffic first hand (many times unfortunately) - I can relate. I always laugh when Calgarians complain about traffic...if only they knew.
We too are glad to be out of the Langley madhouse traffic trap; moved to Vancouver, much more manageable, when you time it right. That's impossible in Langley, where one coal train will paralize traffic for hours, and then the next one comes along.
Yes, those cops and their arrogance at times, they don't make themselves loveable this way. Unfortunately we still need the enforcers of the law(our "peace officers" as they like to call themselves), I hate to think of us having to do without them.
Having different favors for men and women can be a
good way to go if you can't decide on something that is universal for both
sexes. There are some iconic and impressive locations for your
wedding reception located in and around Leicestershire,
including halls, hotels, granges, manor houses, colleges - even a
railway station. If you are developing your client's pictures yourself, Photoshop is an excellent photo editing program.
