Sunday sun, live music, and Rajdoot's triumphant return.

Partly cloudy and mild—get outside. Tonight's got three solid live acts if you're feeling it.

Sunday sun, live music, and Rajdoot's triumphant return.

It's a proper Sunday. You've got 15 degrees and partly cloudy skies pushing through—UV's at 5, so sunscreen if you're out for a while—and sunset doesn't come till 8:41 PM, which means plenty of daylight left for whatever you want to do. No weather curveballs, so plan accordingly.

On the roads, things look clean. Check the Foothills conditions if you're heading that way, but nothing's jumping out as a reason to change your Sunday plans.

Two pieces of food news worth your attention. Rajdoot, the legendary spot in Mission, is back open after regulars basically saved it—if you've got memories of that place, this is your moment to walk through the door again. And if you've been on a bagel hunt, keep looking, but skip the Greek yogurt at Costco right now; there's a recall on potential mould contamination. Also hitting McDonald's if you're curious: they've rolled out a global menu with dishes from around the world, so it's worth a look if that's your Sunday fuel.

There's some heavier stuff in the news this week—trade talks have tanked and tariffs are hitting hard, Calgary businesses are bracing, and there's fallout from that brutal bus driver attack earlier in the year. Worth staying informed, but it's not something that changes your Sunday morning plan.

If you're looking for something to do tonight, you've got options. Soul Asylum's at the Arrowhead at 6 PM if you want live music and nostalgia. WWE's rolling through the Saddledome at 7 PM if that's your vibe. Or Krooked Kings are playing Commonwealth Bar & Stage at 8 PM for something a bit more intimate. Pick your mood—there's good company in any of those rooms.

Alternatively, the weather's honestly perfect for a riverside walk or just being outside while the sun's still up. You've got the light for it, and the temperature's not going to punish you. Grab a coffee, get outside, then decide what the evening holds.

See you around.
