BUT CALIFORNIA IS HARD TO DRAW AND SPELL

One of my work buddies, Sasha, is full of entertaining complaints. On his own blog, you can read up on the shortfalls of crappy countries, open source, mustached journalists and of course politics. This weekend Sasha invited Jerome and myself up to the house he rented at Lake Tahoe for skiing.

I was expecting that skiing in California was going to be horrible. My reasoning was, "California is hot, therefore California cannot be cold." But the skiing here is surprising good. The mountains are gigantic and the snow is soft and fluffy. The weather is warm - about 2 degrees yesterday, and -5 today. I did a lot of boarding and I'm feeling fairly fast and confident on the hills.

Although I should be very happy that I now live so close to good ski mountains, I now have one fewer reason to tell people in California why Canada is the best place to live...
REASONS CANADA IS AWESOME
A GUIDE FOR CALIFORNIANS
  1. Snowboarding and skiing
  2. Poutine
  3. The Saskatchewan Roughriders' star running back, Kenton Keith
  4. A government I believe in
  5. Delicious beer
  6. Affordable housing

Maple syrup, Coffee Crisp, Tim Horton's, Mr Dressup, Pamela Anderson, we have kicked the American's ass in every war we were against them. CFL is better, The Ski-do, ..... I will think of more reasons for Jesse to leave. He is already being brainwashed by the American Propaghanda machine

Jesse,

You've got to check this out. Replace 'ocean' with 'oceans of wheat' and you should be able to follow the intervention.
