Life as an Albertan

[bluemm]

1. "Vacation" means going to Calgary for the weekend.


2. You measure distance in hours.


3. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.


4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.


5. You use a down comforter in the summer.


6. Your grandparents drive at 100 km/h through four meters of snow
during a blizzard, without flinching.


7. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to
use them.


8. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.


9. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled.
(That is sooooo Edmonton)


10. You know both seasons: Winter and construction.


11. You are bundled up in three sweaters, a parka, ski pants, a touque,
two pairs of mittens, boots past your knees in 3 feet of snow in a -35
(-8000 with the windchill) blizzard, your eyelashes are frozen together,
your nose is running, you can't feel your toes, and you still stop at
7Eleven for a Slurpee on the way home.


12. You actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your
friends from Alberta.
