Call Me CRAZY

but I miss the prairies. There's nothing like a good, old-fashioned blizzard, the likes of which I haven't seen since the night I drove home in the blizzard that caused the first closing of the University of Calgary in it's entire history, or the night I tried driving Hwy 2 from Calgary to Innisfail in blinding snow, where I just hoped the road didn't curve when a semi passed me, cuz I couldn't see the road AT ALL so just tried to stay straight despite the ice and wind that sent me fishtailing each time. I spent the night sleeping in a booth in the Humpty's Restaurant on the highway, past Airdrie. Ohhhhh, good times. We haven't had a snow day in Ottawa EVER since I moved here.

Good luck prairie people! Stay safe.

(Not to belittle or be-fun it - I know how dangerous and stressful they are... Take care those of you out there!!!!!!)
