Snow Day?

So today is a... snow day. That never happens here. Theoretically, anyway.

Infrastructure here is all but non-existant. The electricity is out in many areas, and the city doesn't have a budget for snowploughs. At least we don't have the turbidity warnings here, like they do in Vancouver. Or as Uncyclopedia calls it, the "Drink Beer" advisory.

I think what has surprised me the most is how much people are complaing. They should spend a winter east of the Rockies and see what they think then. I keep thinking to myself, "Suck it up, you're Canadian!" whenever I hear someone complaining about the snow.

So not long after we got our electricity back, Werner calls and wants to set up a game of Risk at my house. So after some negotiations, the deal is done and he shows up with his rag-tag bunch of Risk enthusiests.

After our game finished [we decided that Werner was the winner, we never actually finished] we went to Jon's, picked up a copy of Civilizations IV, then went back to my house and started a game. Tommy even dropped by briefly.

Well, now I'm out of blogging material....

Yeah...amazing how Sidney shuts down at the sight of a single snowflake. Not that I'm complaining. Instant snow day. Just add water. It was a good risk game. Different, but good. The mind bending aspect is definately worth following, if they mention it in the rules...

We got to finish one of these civilization games one day...
