It's absolutely fucking beautiful outside today... just gorgeous. I should be out on my bike, cuz who knows when I'll have a day off and it's the first proper day of spring?
(On a side note, my car isn't fixed and thats sad.... )
Anyway, I got to thinking about Canadians today. How we are a pretty funny group of people... We spend like, 6 months of the year in weather that is considered unsatisfactory by the majority of the rest of the world. I think only Russia can relate! From abouts the end of Sept til the end of April we have to wear layers and coats and hats and all that fun stuff. It doesn't get above like, 13 degrees most days, and at night it's hovering around zero.
And yet, as Canadians, we hold on to EVERY single bit of warmth Mother Nature throws our way.
Today was a perfect example. It's around 13 or 14 outside, sunny and no wind. PERFECT spring day. I was driving along the highway doing some deliveries between schools, and noticed a fry stand open. There were people outside sitting at the picnic tables, eating french fries... nevermind they had their winter coats on, it's freakin nice out!
I was driving with my windows down, sun beating in... nevermind I had the heat cranked on my feet, it's freaking nice out!
There was a kid who's picture I took today, he was wearing shorts. I asked him if they were his gym shorts, he said "no, it's a nice day!".
Canadians make the most of every single beautiful day we have... it doesn't matter if it's unconventional, we do it anyway... because we should, and because we have to!
