Alberta...notoriously cold

I saw that a number of people had written about the weather on their blogs, and so I feel obliged to say something about it as well. First of all, I had the most wonderful time on holiday with some of the absolutely best weather. We left Christina Lake where we had met up with some friends and spent some time on a boat (or behind a boat), and then shortly after our arrival began our long journey home. It was as if as soon as we crossed the BC border into Alberta we also crossed into cold and desparaging country. I wish I had a photo. We entered the world of fog. We thought that it was smoke, but as we stuck our heads out the window to do the "scent test" we quickly found out that there was no scent to this alleged smoke. Rather it was cold and wet. FOG!

The further and further we went into Alberta, the colder and wetter it got. There was a highlight to coming home though...we are darker than every person here. Seriously, it was as if we went somewhere tropical in the middle of winter and we came back with the beautiful tans while everyone who stayed behind only got burned from the light reflecting off the snow. By the sounds of it though, that's not too far off from the truth of this summer.

Now, on a totally unrelated topic...what the heck is up with all the spam I'm getting on my comments? I got a really long one today about logging or something. I hate it! If it doesn't stop I might just have to remove the priviledge of commenting altogether!!!
