I flew in the North throughout the early eighties. My definition of North means places you cannot drive to...Your Edmonton stories mean nothing to me.....lol.
The Millennial Thread

- Start date
When I came to Alberta a million years ago, I surveyed pipeline for Peace Pipe in Spirit River and points north from there. Coming from the east coast, I learned some things pretty fast... Don't touch metal with bare hands at -40. At - 45 when you take a leak outside, it's ice on the ground before you can pull your zipper up. At -50 your spit is ice when it hits the ground and at -50 when you get a litre of oil at the service station that's stored in a rack outside by the gas pump, it won't pour out the spout. You have to cut the top off the jug and even then it comes out like thick glue sludge.... And at -20, you change back into your shorts.... lol...
Try taking a wizz outside through 6 layers of heavy clothes, when the temperature convinces your package that it’s an inny not an outy. Occasionally had to coax the old boy out with promises of a warmer future.
Man: How long is a Millennium to you
God: About one second
Man: God...... how much is a billion dollars to you
God: about a penny
Man thinking
Man: God would you give me a penny?
God: Give me a second
God: About one second

Been there, done that.
Pretty strange when you take a pee and you can hear it crackling and freezing before it hits the ground. All the while praying the freezing part doesn’t make its way back up to “The Source”....!
Ah, memories and stories you wish tou didn’t have....lol!
That's so funny I would laugh if my face wasn't frozen.... just checked the temp... -38 at the moment with a comfortable -46 wind chill....
My daughter in Tofield has to keep checking on her horses in the barn.
she may just stay in the bar instead of going back/forth...
stay warm my friends.

How much do millennials weigh?
An instagram.

People say Millennials are entitled...
but have you ever tried to tell an old lady her coupon has expired?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Why can't millennials take a joke?
Because the jokes always hit a little too close to their parent's house.

So ... not a Tesla noticed on the road as much as I normally see ...
and News Broadcasting YYC’s advocation to avoid electricity use at peak times ... like as people return home from work to happily plug an EV in.
I do not think “Greta’s World” would be that wonderful and more or less become “reGreta’s World” perhaps.

Wait a minute here. Why are you guys complaining about plugging in EV‘s when anywhere in the Prairies this time of year you also have to plug in gasoline powered vehicles?
One way or the other, you poor sob’s are going to be “plugging in”....
Really ?
Kinda away from the point of quoting my comment of the life line of the EV.
and not too funny as not every one needs to plug in a block heater to run a vehicle.
