So much snow to deal with, and a lot of work to go along with it. Thankfully I was only away for a weeks worth of time (roughly speaking) so I’m not entirely buried under work like we are all this snow. But don’t forget about the cold! Oh yeah , while we were acclimating to sunny weather in the low thirties, we came home to freezing temperatures close to minus twenty, that’s fifty degrees of change. Too much! That is too large a temperature variance for the human body to enjoy. One day I’m slathered in sun screen trying not to dehydrate, the next I just can’t stay warm enough to shovel sixteen plus inches of snow off my front walkway. It’s nuts.
So we will either get more snow next week as we get closer to March, and the first day of spring, or it will begin to rain, and flood the streets like crazy, then freeze each night locking us in deep-deep inches of ice. Canadian weather is not for the weak of heart. All that shoveling, and ice picking will do you in if you aren’t in half way decent shape. It’s my nightmare.
Made it to Friday morning. Even with all of our flight troubles, the delays, the push backs, the missing grounds crew, the medical emergency call, the turbulence, the extremely late landing time, we made it home safe and sound, with our plane right side up, and not engulfed in flames. I’m not a nervous flyer but this weeks deluge of fires, crashes, and flips, and major turbulence episodes made me stop & think once or twice about stepping onto an airplane ever again.
I don’t know if it’s knock on effects from Covid brain damages, or under staffing, or a lax maintenance schedule but these planes be dropping in numbers recently, and the old adage of air travel being safer than cars is starting to look, and feel, out dated. Could be that with phones we are just seeing more of the whoopsie daisies on social media, but I have seen a lot these last couple days. Like a lot, a lot. You know what I mean? Could just be people capitalizing on the algorithms by posting old plane fires, crashes, bird strikes, and open doors mid flight to make money off of it all. I don’t know. I’m just seeing a lot of it on my feeds lately. Fun times. Doom scrolling indeed.
But now we are back on Terra Firma with a few projects to complete, and various social things to do this weekend. Rock climbing, belt testing, three birthdays at one bash! And whatever else happens on Sunday.
Oh yeah , I saw the Canada vs USA hockey game last night. The Four Nations finals with the NHL. It was a doozey! We won, with an overtime goal by Connor McDavid #97 himself. It was an epic way to counter their loss to the US a game or two ago. BAM! How do you like them apples, Boston!
