I’m sure my youngest brother Wee Willie will say the snow today is retribution by the heavens for electing an NDP government in Alberta. I think it’s actually a test. A test to see how we react to crisis, a crisis of no heat and a snow storm outside our house on wheels. We did what anyone would do, use our lifeline, call an expert. Thanks Ken, who knew that you have to click on the “gas heat” button on the thermostat and that the electric heat was actually linked to the air conditioning. Now if I had only packed my boots.

Okay, they say everything is bigger in Alberta, or is it Texas? Either way, the RV park we are staying at has a whole lot of massive motorhomes taking up real estate here. The BC plates don’t help, they already think we’re granola eating, pot-smoking, NDP-loving commies here, having a small unit isn’t helping. At least our dog is bigger than theirs.
