homesick
In the past few days, three things made me miss home:
- watching Fargo on Friday night. Minnesota was my border state growing up.
- helping my brother pull vehicles out of the snowbank on Saturday night. We were on a back road in Grey County, and there were severe snow squalls. My brother was very popular with his 4WD truck, cell phone, and towing knowledge. I was in charge of equipment (tow strap, shovel) and stopping traffic with a flashlight. Helping your fellow motorist is a very northern thing to do. So is knowing how to drive in snowy conditions.
- at one point yesterday, Toronto's weather was -11°C with 95% relative humidity. I miss the aridity of northwestern Ontario--winter and summer. There's a reason people from western Canada say "it's a dry cold."

2. Pulling peeps out of snowbanks? Didn't you have cable or something?
3. This was my point to UC when he meh-ed my want to move to St. Paul. AG was all, "Oh yeah! Toronto is sooo much warmer.

AG is sassy tonight!
And if I get one more papercut today, I'm going on a shooting spree.
It is not to be confused with outdoor winter humidity, which--if you're anywhere near a Great Lake--makes for a miserable experience.
hahahah
I remember having to plow my car through 10 or more snow drifts on the road to my parent's house. Those were the days....
I'm moving to Scottsdale for good.
