Falling Down Heights, my daily life

- and I'm glad to know that y'all are not bat-cheet crazy like some other governments I could mention.

Oh we’re all bonkers to some extent everywhere remember I’m a Newfoundlander and we know cracked!

Ok I am going to ask but you can clobber me if you like - is your daughter an environmentalist?

Asks the woman who loves her pipeline and mining jobs . And actually the amt of environmental care taken there is far more than one sees in any big city…. Like Ottawa

No, she's a family physician. She has called on me to stare into my magical undergraduate crystal ball to try to predict what the temps and weather will be like in 10-20 years.

All I really have for her is that Ontario is subject to the mid-continent effect that is found around the world, where inland areas tend to have high temps in the summers and low temps in the winters, while coastal areas are typically more moderate. Lake effect is a real thing along the Great Lakes, though. I told her that they might want to look around the Lake Ontario (north) shore, but far enough east of Toronto to escape the crazy cost of living. (I keep looking at NB and other areas in the Maritimes, because I love coastal weather, but she immediately goes into Hurricanes!!! mode.)

It's all just a thought game, or mostly, starting from back during Covid when her patients were making death threats, to now when other people are threatening some of her patients with death.

Well the best weather is in Victoria, on Vancouver Island. They even grow palm trees an certain citrus trees there.

But it’s incredibly expensive to live there.

Family Dr are in high demand all over here. The Maritime’s have a huge demand. It were me, I’d go to Spain nice and warm, have a nice small town practice there…. Relaxing. No snow nice and warm. No snow. Sunny all the time no snow…..

Yep there’s a theme there! You guessed it I detest snow. Which is why I live in the snow belt - so I can torment myself for 5 months of the year!

@Canadian Wind knows - both of us spent all of last winter doing nothing but shovel snow

That’s not a drift that’s actual depth of snow on my cousins hubby

Ya Vancouver Island that’s were all need to go. No snow. No -30C…..
