That’s what they call Canadians who try to escape the frigid winters. That’s what I tried to do this winter…I mostly succeeded. But where I failed…I failed spectacularly.
I had spent the whole “detour” toodling around the southwest US…nice and warm there…so my wardrobe was pretty much shorts and shirts….one pair of jeans. I should have known better. When you are on a trip of…I don’t have a plan, I don’t know where I will end up, I’m “detouring”…I suppose one should be prepared for …anything ;-)
I headed up to Vegas for a couple of weeks…and got caught in a major snowstorm just before Christmas. We’re talking Chaos here. These people don’t know how to drive in the rain. let alone frozen rain. There was snow on the Strip…in my 30 years of Vegas..I had NEVER seen snow on the strip.
I took this picture on the golf course one day
The next day…despite the dire warnings not to drive…I went to my desert dancing place
I kid you not
hard to do a gratitude dance when you are freezing your ass off…
but I managed ;-)
