Featherlou - I’m sorry but we’re full up at the moment. On the off chance that I won the 6-49 tonight and am suddenly a millionaire I’ll consider building a guest house on the estate for any southerners who just can’t deal with the heat. “Why don’t you Albertans move to Toronto…” Damn that’s funny. ---

“Why don’t you Albertans move to Toronto…” - You know, I think that may be the first time those words have been put together in that combination. (Glad you liked our Arctic air mass, **DDG**. Anything we can do to help out.) ---

The only thing funnier than “Why don’t you Albertans move to Toronto” is “Honey, it’s better if I move down there than you moving up here. You can’t handle the weather in Alberta.” ---

Well, at least it’s reasonably sunny and warm here now… August is for HOT goldarnit! Not I-need-gloves-to-keep-my-fingers-from-freezing-to-my-bicycle… (Albertans? Toronto? Bwahahahaaha…) ---

Are you speaking from experience there, **Ginger**? 😃 (BTW, how are you dealing with the heat? That would be a BIG concern for me. And congrats on your wedding, which I believe was a couple of weeks ago?) ---

Just for the record, I actually _like_ living in Toronto. Mostly for the food and, well, whenever I leave I feel very, very not-white. Even in Vancouver and other large Canadian metropolises. I’m aware that I may be the only one who actually does like it here, and that I’ve just invited assassination by all other Canadians… 😃 ---

Two air conditioners and a fan do not constitute dealing. Dave has actually said: “Honey, I used to live in Wisconsin. I just moved here so you’d run around naked.” ---

I live outside of Edmonton, it only rained a little bit at my house. No hail like on the highways! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weather-forecast-for-alberta-today-shitty-followed-by-wet-and-shitty-with-a/122110.md?page=1)
