WOW I was thinking Canada must have pretty short summers. I ask a freid of mine from Canada (in a class I was taking) if he had 4 seasons or if he had 2-- His answer-- 2-- winter and Road construction :-)

Sooo true. Here we skip the 2 nice seasons. Instead we focus on our Polar Vortex and Sweltering Humidity. Was nicer in Cali.

I don't mind road construction so much-- except when they bring 8 miles of traffic down to 1 lane then only one little guy working in the whole 8 miles

If you’re not accustomed to it hot is a relative term. I recall spending summers as a youth is the Calif desert, typically 40 daily and rode with friends around town all day on our bikes. Was fun - we (even drank city water from the yard hose)

gasp!
