Clear skies and live music—wrap up the long weekend right.

It's 9°C and clear this morning—good news if you're heading out. UV's sitting at 5, so you'll want sunscreen if you're out for a stretch, and you've got just over 13 hours of daylight before sunset at 8:06. Not a bad length to work with.

Road-wise, it's a regular Tuesday. Check the Foothills conditions if you're headed that way, but nothing's blocking the main routes into town.

Worth knowing: the Stampeders are playing the Elks tonight in the Labour Day Classic—turnover's the story if you're following along. On a heavier note, an RCMP officer pleaded guilty this week to assaulting two teen boys and received a conditional discharge. And there's a new pilot in Okotoks starting September 14 for curbside battery collection if you're out that way and holding onto old batteries.

Food-wise, if you've been meaning to try Vietnamese breakfast, An Sang just opened on the Red Mile and that's exactly their lane. Starbucks is also rolling out their fall menu today—pumpkin, banana bread, the new chai blends if that's your speed. On the other end, Sorella Trattoria in Crescent Heights is closing after four years of fresh pasta and Italian small plates, so if you wanted to say goodbye, this is the window. There's also a new Korean BBQ spot that just took over a space in town.

Feast on Fourth is back this month too, with $10 dishes from 16 restaurants across 4th Street—worth circling if you want to graze.

Tonight, you've got two music options. Tinariwen's playing Pawn Shop Live (formerly Union Hall) at 8—they're the heavyweight pick if you're in the mood for something deep. Opal in Sky is at The Rec Room on the Deerfoot at 7 if you want something lower-key. Either way, clear skies mean you could even catch the evening before heading out.

This weekend's stacking up too: Lyle Lovett Friday, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Saturday, War On Women Sunday. Pick your vibe and circle it.

Stay warm out there.
