Jeff Foxworthy on Alberta:
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you may live in Alberta.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in Alberta.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you may live in Alberta.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you may live in Alberta.
If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Alberta.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Alberta.
You Know You Are A TRUE Albertan When:
1. "Vacation" means going south past Calgary for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and then back again.
5. You can drive 110 kph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
6. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
7. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
8. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
9. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
10. "Down south" to you means Calgary...
11. Your 1st of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
12. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
13. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
14. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Alberta friends

What a HOOT! Guess what - I'm a true Albertan!
Me too, though i hadn't noticed that either of us has a deer statue, or a blue spruce... but i've met your snowblower... Dear Patch has many, many, more miles on him. A bit hard on fuel, but otherwise pretty economical to run.
ha, its a bit chilly in Alberta then? balmy weather in sunny Scotland, -1ºC forecast for this weekend, I'm off camping!!
you're breaking my heart, Claire
Forgot to tell you I emailed this post to my friend Turtle Dave in Calgary. Not all will apply but some certainly will. I couldn't remember if he comments over here but he knows madcap, madcap knows both of us, etc. Interlocking circles of blogging.
Thanks for your comment. I've also heard keeping them in the crockpot on low heat too. If they stiffen up, a little more butter can cure anything.
We're a little chillier here and it's threatening to rain for Veteran's (Remembrance) Day parade tomorrow.
granny - i've visited turtle Dave's site, and dropped a few comments. it's a nice neighborhood, and i'm not antisocial... just not much time to visit, and don't want to neglect friends. ...yes, butter and mashed potatoes are made for each other. my mum used to toss in a can of mushroom soup too. tres yum.
