Happy Fossil Friday!
Who: Albertosaurus sarcophagus ("Alberta-Lizard" "flesh-eater")
What: A large tyrannosaur from the Theropoda clade.
When: Late Cretaceous
Where: Horseshoe Canyon Formation in Alberta, Canada
Fun Fact!: Albertosaurus was first discovered on the Red Deer River in Drumheller, Alberta in 1884 by geologist Joseph Tyrrell, for whom the world famous museum in Drumheller is named. Tyrrell's specimen remained unnamed until 1905 until the discovery of Tyrannosaurs rex in Colorado. This coincided with the province of Alberta being founded on September 1st in 1905 and Albertosaurus shares its namesake.
Why are they cool?: Evidence suggests that these large, predatory dinosaurs lived together in family groups and hunted in packs, rather than in solitary. The same may be true for other theropods.
Here is a link to a paper discussing the ages and assemblage of the Dry Island Bonebed in Drumheller, where a whopping 26 Albertosaurus were discovered!

Update and Contest Winners
Hey everyone! I know it's been a while. Life's been busy, so I haven't had the time I've needed to work on this blog. I'm hoping to get back to answering questions and writing new posts! Note that I do not plan on posting anything revealed about Scarlet and Violet until after the games come out, so if you ask a question about that it's fine, but I won't be able to answer until November.
Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/QEq59gw3rv
With that out of the way, I need to announce the contest winners. In first place is @manycrows, with ideas for a normal-type gym in the Mall of America (Minnesota, USA), a dragon-type gym in Los Glaciares National Park (Argentina), and a grass-type gym in the Green Mountains (Vermont, USA). Congrats to them, and I appreciate their wonderful submissions!
Second place goes to @graftednormalcy, suggesting a rock-type gym in Ballarat (Victoria, Australia). Third place goes to @KathiraNarae, suggesting a mixed normal and water-type gym in Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) and a rock-type gym in Drumheller (Alberta, Canada). Best overall submission goes to @manycrows for their submission on Los Glaciares National Park.
Thank you all for competing, and I should hopefully be able to send out prizes soon! Lastly, I'll end with the wonderful best submission.
Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina
When trainers begin the hike to the Los Glaciares gym, they may catch a glimpse of the leader's twin Noivern flying overhead, racing each other to tell their trainer about the arrival of a new challenger. Originally a researcher, the leader and her Haxorus fell in love with the region, and settled down. Visitors were rare, but when she offered a popular travel blogger lodging at her place, in exchange for a battle, news of a formidable dragon-type trainer spread like wildfire, leading her and her pokemon to formally register as a gym!
Battles take place out in the open, testing the endurance of both pokemon and their trainers as they navigate the expansive wilds. Challengers should be wary of the Leader's Haxorus toppling trees in their path, and of her Noivern's ability to navigate the local caves, popping out where you least expect them. Recently, a rehabilitated Dracovish seems to have joined the rotation, though not much has been heard of its unique skills yet.

Went out to Drumheller with my two best friends. You're not actually required to stay on the trails in the badlands so we definitely went exploring (second last picture is a good example of how far one of my friends wandered off before we had to reel him back to us)

"Miner Who Quit Job Without Permission Jailed For Six Months By Drumheller Court," The Province (Vancouver). September 11, 1943. Page 6.
---
PRECEDENT SET BY CONVICTION
==
DRUMHELLER, Sept. 11. - The first conviction of its kind under National Selective Service regulations in Canada was registered in the Drumheller court Friday when Sidney Vanattan of Toronto, was sentenced to six months Imprisonment and a fine of $100 or, in default, an additional two months' imprisonment, by Magistrate A. G. Bond.
Vanattan was charged with terminating his employment at the Maple Leaf Mine without permission of the Selective Service. He was brought back from Toronto under warrant to face the charge.
GIVEN JOB.
Witnesses testified that the accused presented himself here as a coal miner. Documents produced by the prosecution showed that when the emergency appeal went out for miners, Vanattan filled in the necessary forms as a miner and registered himself as such with the Selective Service at Drumheller.
After signing on at the mine and being cared for with board and room, the accused failed to show up for work, and returned to Toronto, where he was arrested.
TO REPAY FARE
Vanattan claimed that on his return to Toronto he entered into an agreement with the Selective Service office there to pay back the fare advanced by the goverament to bring him to Drumheller.
The crown prosecutor argued that this alleged agreement had no bearing on the charge, and was upheld by the magistrate. In passing sentence the magistrate told the accused that there was no excuse for his not knowing the Selective Service regulations.
These regulations, he said, are a pillar in the numerous endeavors for the successful prosecution of the war. Two additional charges of false pretences against the accused were dismissed.

The "YEG" Experience (Summer 2023)
This is Part 1 of my 2023 Year-End Blog Series. Hope you enjoy the read! :)
Having visited Edmonton in the Winter of 2022, I was very eager to go back simply for the fact that there were just so many fond memories made the first time I was there. From all food adventures and starting a shared food IG account (which really needs to be updated since it be lacking food posts lately…), to the super fun (but often painful) attempts at learning how to downhill ski, cross-country ski, and skate, and everything else in-between, it was the definitive highlight of 2022 for me. While it was an eventual goal of mine to one-day come back, career goals and aspirations took precedence over planning a trip to Alberta. Since starting a Master of Financial Economics at the University of Western Ontario in the Fall of 2022, it has been a constant grind of studying, completing assignments, writing exams, preparing job application documents, applying for (co-op) jobs, networking, preparing for interviews… all for the hard work and preparation to end with a ‘thank you for your interest in this role, but we have moved on with other candidates… don’t forget to fill out this survey about your application experience!”. As futile as it felt to painstakingly rinse and repeat the job application process, only to have 9 out of 10 of your applications get rejected, there will always be an opportunity out there. Even if it may be 1 interview out of 99 rejection letters, that 1 chance can be the golden ticket for you to achieve great things… so take the opportunities you get and prepare for them as if its your last.
Aside: Although this blog post was not meant to be some sort of inspirational TED Talk, may this small little tangent be a light of inspiration for those who are dealing with similar circumstances.
Please remember to never give up and keep giving it your all! Your hard work and dedication will be rewarded 😊
The ‘one’ opportunity I had led me to a summer internship at a company based in Edmonton. Killing two birds with one stone, not only was this an opportunity to build my career, but it also gave me the opportunity to visit Alberta… this time, in the Summer. And so, this began my 4-week Alberta Adventure: Summer 2023 Edition.
Week 1: Calgary Stampede
The first week in Alberta started with a visit to Calgary to experience the Calgary Stampede. It definitely felt like a bigger, better, more extravagant version of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). The shows were quite nice to watch (such as the motorcross, dogs how, and miniature horse show) but I suppose the most interesting thing was seeing an EDM concert in the evening. I guess I can check-off seeing a bunch of attendees wearing cowboy/cowgirl attire vibing to techno music from my bucket list.
Week 2: Banff
One thing to note whenever you plan to visit Banff National Park is to plan ahead, especially during peak times when kids are out of school or when families are booking their vacations. Case in point? Not having the foresight to book the reservations needed to visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake… since personal vehicles are no longer allowed to visit Moraine Lake and parking is now super limited at Lake Louise (to preserve and protect the surrounding wildlife). Major major major shoutout to Jenny and Stephen (who will be mentioned a lot in this blog because they are the most amazing people ever) for dealing with my shenanigans and be willing to wake up at 3am to drive all the way from Calgary to Lake Louise so that I can at least see Lake Louise. You guys are truly the best <3
Day 1 was spent in Banff Town (or the Town of Banff), since we could not go to Lake Louise or Moraine Lake (since a reservation was needed and everything was already fully booked the day-of when checking for availability while trying to get into the national park). Nonetheless, it was still a fun experience to hike around Bow Falls, bask in the surroundings of Tunnel and Sulphur Mountain, and feeling like a tourist by buying good deals at the now-liquidated Hudson’s Bay in the town. The highlight of the day had to be relaxing in the Banff Upper Hot Springs after a day of hiking… Nothing feels better than relaxing in a natural hot spring after a tiring day. Definitely wished I could have experienced the hot spring in the Winter, but I guess all the more reason to come back again in the Winter!
Day 2 was action-packed, starting at 3am with the hopes of getting one of the limited parking spots at Lake Louise. Despite arriving as early as 6am, we probably nabbed the 3rd or 4th available spot… so, if you ever decide to drive to Lake Louise, go early! (otherwise, you might be waiting a while for people to leave) Our efforts to beat the crowd was rewarded with a stunning view of Lake Louise during sunrise.
In an attempt to find better views (and to enjoy the area while we were there), we decided to embark on a hike that was supposed to be somewhat quick, not too difficult, and would end with nice scenery to take pictures of. Instead, my small brain decided to take the trail that said “Louise” not knowing that it went the OPPOSITE DIRECTION of where Lake Louise was.
A 3-hour, 6km hike in the wet marshes without hiking boots later… we were back to where we parked the car filled with as much regret as the amount of water that seeped through our shoes. Despite this blunder, we still ended up hiking the short but nice Fairview Lookout trail, where it gave a beautiful view of Lake Louise and the historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.
Overall, ‘twas fun and rewarding visit to Banff National Park. Though the absence of snow may take away from the magical atmosphere of the Canadian Rockies, experiencing Banff in the Summer has its own unique charms filled with gorgeous sunsets and a plethora of fun and rewarding hikes.
Week 3: Chasing Summer
When Jenny had asked me a few months before my Alberta trip, whether I was interested in going to Chasing Summer, I didn’t even hesitate in my response. I simply said “Sure, I’m down” without even realizing what I was actually signing up for. Only after I got confirmation that tickets were bought and plans were being made, did I realize that I agreed to going to a 2-day EDM festival. Had I ever gone to rave before? Nope. Was I nervous about the experience? Not going to lie, yeah, I was a bit anxious. Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not. Would I do it all over again? Definitely.
Before the weekend of Chasing Summer, the rave crew got together to make kandi. Honestly, it was a fun night of making really unique and well-designed bracelets while also having the chance to get to know the people I would be raving with in a few days time. I really should’ve made more generic bracelets to actually give out since I swear, I put too much thought and effort that I felt obliged to keep most of the ones I made… the ‘SOJU’ one especially.
At this point, I was still a little nervous leading up to the weekend of the rave, but at least I knew who I would be going with… and knowing that they’re super chill and quite fun to be around, I felt quite at ease.
No blog is complete without some food pics. Here are some pictures of sushi taken from Ari Sushi the evening before the festival:
Day 1 of the festival arrives, and we all made our preparations. The theme of the day? Neon and black. After an hour or two of pre-drinking baijiu and vodka, we were ready to attend the festival.
The lineup for Day 1 included the likes of ARMNHMR, Gryffin, James Hype and Tiësto (the headliner). From when the sun was up to when it set, the atmosphere was electric. It really felt like how I imagined an EDM festival would be: people screaming, dancing, vibing to each and ever single beat and bass drop. The pre-drinking really did help as I don’t know if I would’ve felt the same vibes if I didn’t feel some sort of buzz. It definitely helped that we somehow ended up near the stage which made it all the more intense to be vibing while being blasted by the music in full force. I feel like the amount of cardio I achieved from one day of raving was equivalent to the amount I would normally get in a week… just pure jumping and dancing in sea of ravers who were looking for a good time. With the completion of Chasing Summer Day 1, I felt thrilled to do it all-over again the second day.
The theme for day 2 was Pastel and White. Compared to Day 1, I turned up my drinking game (since I opted out of doing weed or molly). In a 7-hour span, I left no opportunity to sober up as every chance I got, I chugged soju, Smirnoff Ice, or vodka, as if I was drinking water. It was probably smart not to chug the Baijiu since that thing burns you like any hard liquor would.
The second day was definitely a bigger blur for me given how particularly drunk and tipsy I was the entire time. Nonetheless, I know for sure that the vibes were at an all-time high with nobody slowing down even after an intense day 1. I probably can’t describe in words how amazing the experience was, but luckily the photos that were taken will hopefully suffice. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
To cap off a weekend of raving, we visited an alpaca farm before heading home!
What made this experience so incredibly memorable were the people I had the privilege of going with. To Jeremy, Amy, Josh, Jasmine, Johhny, Jenny, and Chuulie, thank you all for making my first-ever rave experience one that I’ll never forget. Feeding off all your energy and vibes, I had the time of my life dancing, screaming, and shouting to the electric lineup of ARMNHMR, Gryffin, Tiësto, and Zedd. Thank you for also being so kind and super fun. I know that I was simply a guy from Ontario who was ‘just visiting’ but you all made me feel included and for that, I’m eternally grateful. I hope that one day we can reunite, and you would allow me to join you guys again to dance and scream the night away at another rave/EDM festival. Miss you all <3
Week 4: Drumheller
The final week of my Alberta Adventures took me to Drumheller, the Dinosaur Capital of the World! Visiting the Royal Tyrrell Museum and the Hoodoos, it was stunning to see how pretty the landscape was despite being considered an area where things scarcely grow.
As 2023 comes to a close and I reflect on the many great memories made this year (particularly during my trip to Alberta), I want to thank all the great friends that I was able to spend time with. To LJ, thank you for many sports talks and the one time we were able to play tennis… in the rain. To Jeremy and Amy, it was super nice to see you two again and thank you oh so much for the many fun memories! From being able to help out for the Delish Cup, to making kandi, to Chasing Summer and of course, the weeks of playing ultimate frisbee, a huge part of why my Alberta trip was amazing was because of you two! To Josh and Jasmine, thank you for being such kind-hearted souls and super fun people to be around! Playing ultimate frisbee and going to Chasing Summer will always be something I’ll cherish! To Johhny, thank you for your loveable energy and vibes and for making my first-ever rave experience one I’ll never forget (also thank you for keeping me alive when I was drunk out of my mind). Last but not least, to Jenny and Stephen, thank you so much for your amazing hospitality and the many great adventures we went on while I was in Alberta. Through all the good and sometimes not-so-good times, thank you for being such amazing amazing people. I hope to visit your new house one day!
With that, looking forward to what adventures await in 2024!
