FORT McMUDDY

By the looks of it, you'd think the driver of this car had a fun day off-roading in the mud. It's not the case. I'd say 83% of the cars in Fort McMurray look like this right now just from simply driving around town.

I've heard the town referred to as Ft McMuddy, and our driveway is sure evidence of the name.

Many places have signs asking you to remove your shoes when you enter the door. I assume it's because they don't want to have to hire someone to mop every 10 minutes.

It's interesting. Let's just say I've never had to take my shoes off at the dentist office until now and black socks are a new staple in my wardrobe here.
