place. Sparklingly clean, relatively disease free city cleverly placed between Edmonton and Calgary in the hub of the buried oil and dinosaurs belt. Home to many of the prettiest nurses on the planet and home to more country themed bars than is really sensible.
Red Deer was visited after the last ice-age by successive waves of paleolithic settlers who "kicked the tires" a bit but continued south to found empires in Mexico and Peru. Fur traders and cartographers such as Anthony Henday and David Thompson visited the area but also moved on. Finally a city was founded by Leonard Gaetz, a failed minister and successful land speculator who convinced the local natives to live in reduced circumstances to the west.
Oil is present in abundance and the wealth from it, and from grain growing, cheese production, gravel sifting, and ashphalt storage enriches the populace and makes them feel special ... very special.
Curling bonspiels, hockey tournaments, travelling to warmer climates and endlessly discussing ski wax keep the locals amused through the long cold winters.
Summers are filled with street art festivals featuring clown juggling and, often, heavy drinking.
The Red Deer river cuts through rocky strata that hold thousands of dinosaur fossils that begin to lose their magic after you have seen an eyefull.

Do you want to visit Red Deer and see the latest T. rex skeleton?
Is it a siamese twin or something, because otherwise I'd rather catch the sled dog race on TV.

place. Small Canadian city nestled between oil wells gushing rich prosperity onto the upturned faces of the throngs of happy citizens who have a tendency to thank God and vote slightly right wing. Rebels hockey rules in winter. Swatting flying bugs rules in summer. Dinosaurs are under the ground but they are deep enough that nobody gets hurt.

n. any badly executed radical skateboarding trick that results in the boarder lying prostrate across a car hood and, by extension, any fouled-up trick, corporate merger, blind date, major intra-abdominal operation etc.
Yo dude! Did you hear that Natalie totally untwisted a choledochoduodenotomotic anastamosis so it wasn't a total hoodsmash?
Was she on her unicycle at the time? I'm just saying, 'cause that would have been totally awesome.

Dude! Like did you hear man? I totally did a drifter in the skatepark yesterday!
Hmmm. I'm not sure that's something to crow about. Oh! You mean the skater move.
Actually, no.

place. Ideally situated on a glacial morraine, Benalto has cleverly used its alluvial gravel stocks to thrust itself into the forefront of the small-rocks industry.
Rodeo enthusiasts abound, as do deer hunters, mushroom pickers, scapula maintainance workers and roadsign repair shops.
Bouldering enthusiasts have recently added Benalto to the list of "must see" rock climbing locales in the West Central Alberta Region and a History of Granite Exfoliation display at the mine site is a Canadian shield enthusiast's mecca.
