  This is getting seriously out of hand. For those of you who do not know Calgary, we Calgarians have an exprssion: If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. Well, I've been waiting. I've waited five minutes. I've waited ten minutes. Technically, I've waited 3,600 minutes. And it's still snowing. Snow snow snow...is that all it does around here? Now, I'm very well aware of the stigma against using the weather as the subject of a conversation, and especially against the usage of the weather to help me post, but this is getting out of hand.
Nothing can really convince me that it won't snow anymore...especially not after seeing the pictures from last year, when it snowed something like 25-30 cms overnight Sunday. Argh. But something funny did just happen to me just this very second. I ran to the local corner store for some much-needed dinner accessories: hot-dog buns, hot-dog wieners, and relish. Now, we're really well known at this particular store, and at this time, there is the most charming lady working there. When she sees what I want to buy, and looks up at me. Here's how the conversation went: Her: Lemme guess: you want hot-dogs for dinner, but alls you got is the ketchup and mustard, right?
Mike: Yes, ma'am. Her: I know you really well, don't I? Mike: Yes, ma'am Now, I realize that this doesn't sound as funny as it did then, but that's probably because that she has the slightest Thai accent that just doesn't come across in text. Anyway, I smell hot-dog boiling, so I'll sing off here. CYODFS.
