We needed a Medicine Glove, and we got a Medicine Hat...

"We woke up in our well deserved cabin feeling a magical pep in our step! But not too much pep that we couldn't have chillaxing morning. I caught Xelba in such a laid back lounge move, shown here:"


Once Coffee was brewed it was time for Zactus to grab a cup and enjoy the morning air flowing through his fiery beard.


"After the coffee put the pep into my step, I decided it was time to use my magic powers to take a human checker board, make it gigantic, and mop the floor with Xelba! Actually she beat the tar out of me but whatever..."


"Once we hit the road, we flew through the Saskatchewan prairies, waiting for somewhere that looked and sounded interesting...And there it was: MOOSE JAW! Sounds as bad-ass as a prairie town could possibly be, but apparently its "the Friendly City," so it must be well balanced."


"We decided to enter this town in search for this moose jaw, and BAM there it was, in all its plaster glory!  Leonard exclaimed, "I see a moose's jaw AND the rest of moose connected to it? HOT DOG!"
"Hot moose?" I suggested.
"No." replied Leonard.


"After that excitement, we hit the uneventful road, and suddenly something strange hit my nostrils. I gave Xelba a suspicious look and found she was looking at me the same way. We looked outside and saw a curious scene: a white snowy looking zone in the middle of grassy farm land that smelled like a fresh batch of eggy farts. We all had no idea what was really going on, but decided to call what just happened, "the fart snow."


"Now, I guess after the "fart snow," things got a little weird in the car. It all happened so fast but I think Leonard said something to the BatBeaver about there being fine dentistry where we were heading in Vancouver (making reference to his gigantic buck teeth of course).  The BatBeaver took that as a grand insult, and next thing I know, Leonard was screaming in agony and the BatBeaver has his right pinky in his mouth.
"Oh no! He bit off Leonard's pinky!!" exclaimed Xelba, "get him some medicine!"
"Ahh! Uh OK, well Medicine Hat is coming up! Maybe they can fix his finger there!"
But obviously they only fix heads and hair in Medicine Hat, so we had to wrap up his hand ourselves and tell him he had to deal with life without a pinky. I guess we needed Medicine Glove.
Oddly, once we kicked the bad BatBeaver out of the car, Leonard was not too upset."
*notice the bandaged hand in this photo:)


I guess this is the Medicine Hat? A giant iron teepee? Leonard gave no explanation.


Finally, we arrived in Calgary, where we reunited with our good friend, Mark Rabin.  Even though Leonard was our official guide in the land of Canada, Mark agreed to be our guide though the majestic metropolis of Calgary. After a delicious meal cooked by our new friends Rich and Alison, we headed out in search of a place called the Ship and Anchor. Upon entering, Leonard was thrilled to see all the stuff that was his size, like this awesome golden ship.  Leonard also met a very sexy mermaid that night but we will respect his privacy by not posting the scandalous photos.


After a few delicious pints at the Ship, we proceeded to a house party overlooking the magical downtown of Calgary.  We had a fabulous evening getting to know the friendly Calgarians, and Leonard made sure to get a photo of our friends, Mark and Rich before we left.
