Default Life as an Albertan.

Life as an Albertan

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/hr 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 toque, two pairs of mittens, boots past
your knees in 3 feet of snow in a -35 (-8000 with the wind-chill) 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.

First I want to say Dave you rock. You give me insight to my car that I would have never thought about. Great work! I don't want to be offensive, but I'm just wondering what that doll logo is? Usually I read my emails at lunch and sometimes I have visitors come by... The funny thing is most of them start the conversation by saying.... "Hey how ar..... .. . What the @#$# is that?" .... So I figured I should ask the same questiion... What is that?
