Do you like the snow?

[pennydreadful]

I'd swap you in a second, Bubbly. My fondest wish is to go and live someplace where it's always cold and never hot. Someplace with wolves and a good public healthcare system. Canada?

Yes, teach me the ways of your people, CD! We'll hang out and eat pancakes and you can teach me how to say "aboot".

That reminded me of this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbvYgxAoDA
Hehe!

well see that's an American common misconception aboot us! that's like how y'all think Tim Horton is our Prime Minister!

[pennydreadful]

Ah, I'm Australian, so technically it's an Australian misconception. Although we suckle from the bloated teat of American entertainment over here, so we'll put the blame back onto the US.

I guess the maple syrup and "aboot" thing is as realistically Canadian as Crocodile Dundee is for Australia? Although we do have parts of the country where cane toad racing is considered entertaining, so maybe I'm just in denial about the national stereotype.

We've got a huge snowdrift in our front yard right now. Getting really sick of the snow, but there's not much I can do about it except deal. It sucks though.

I would actually completely love snow right now if it were to show up and do enough to force my jury duty date (this Thursday) to be rescheduled.

I'm rather avoidant of driving in winter weather if I can help it. And ice...hell no.

Naturally, they had to pick me to show up for jury duty in February, during a week that is expecting bad weather and will be well below freezing all week. The last thing I want is icy conditions on roads in a small city I'm not very familiar with when I have to be at the courthouse at 8:30am on a day where the high temp in the afternoon is expected to be between 15 and 20F.

Why couldn't they have picked my name in the Spring... Only once, the first time I did it, did they call me then, in May. This will be the third winter one.

Wait- you mean Mick Dundee ISN'T realistically Aussie?? JK. I've met a few Aussies, and they're nothing like that.

But I feel your pain. Most people thing all Texans run around in huge cowboy hats with boots and spurs, big belt buckles, and say "y'all" and gunna' a lot. And that we all ride horses and smoke Marlboros or something. Ugh.

Don't feel too bad, Indigo- my first jury duty summons was for- wait for it- my birthday. Yup. Talk about suckage, I had to be in a town 20 minutes away, at 8:30 AM, on my birthday. While my hubby and I lived with my grandmother, and were using her car.

I will roll all over some snow if it happened in Florida. But it doesn't. So that's that.

snow can make traveling difficult
