Life In The North
So...I got this list from my sister-in-law today, and darn if most of them aren't true...
This morning, there was a moose outside our house, unusual? Not really.....but I still ran for my camera to take a picture...honestly, what do you do with 25 pictures of a moose? Anyway, enjoy and feel free to comment!
LIFE IN NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA , CANADA , EH
1.Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a Snow plow on the highway.
2."Vacation" means going to Kamloops for the weekend.
3.You measure distance in hours.
4.You know several people who have hit deer, moose, or bears more than once.
5.You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
6.You use a down comforter in the summer, but can walk outside barefoot in the winter to grab the beer off the porch.
7.You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
8.You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked. And if you checked, your keys are probably still in the ignition of your car all night long.
9.You think of the major food groups as moose meat, fish and berries.
10.There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the Canadian Tire store at any given time.
11.You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
12.Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
13.You think lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
14.You know all 4 seasons as: almost winter, winter, still winter,and construction.
15.It takes 3 hours to go to the store for one item even when you're in a rush because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
16.You wave to every on coming vehicle in town.
17.You simply drive around the people sitting at the stop light talking to a pedestrian and wave to them too.
18.You know it must be cold out when there's ice chunks floating in the river.
19.You know where Quesnel & Nakusp are, and you pronounce them correctly.
20.When you go to parties in the winter, you wear your Sorels , and bring your nice shoes in a grocery bag.
21.You have perfected the peeing outdoors technique because you have been drunk in the middle of nowhere so many times.
22.In the winter, it is more than normal to drive your snowmobile to a party instead of your truck.
23.You know where 100 Mile House, 103 Mile, 105 Mile, 108 Mile, 99 Mile, 94 Mile, and 70 Mile are, and don't really think those are strange names for towns.

The list I saw on Facebook was... "You go to Prince George for the weekend and call it a vacation" which is more true than Kamloops.
I never go there.
LOL...wow...that's sad....at least it didn't say 'the Terrace Wal-Mart' as a vacation destination b/c I get pretty excited about that.....
Okay I love the Halloween costume over snowsuit - I remember Erin wearing a grass skirt and bikini top over her parka and snowpants when she was 4.
I love the 7 empty cars running in the Canadian Tire parking lot and the thing about Quesnel and all the "mile houses".
And I just about peed my pants reading the one about wearing your sorels and bringing your dress shoes in a grocery bag! I HAVE SO DONE THAT!
Sadly those things are all true!Lowermainlanders just don't know a good thing when they see it! Move north........NOT!
