It ain't Tucson, that's for sure. You describe yourself as a sdribwons, does that mean you're only going to be here for a few months each winter or is it a permanent move? Welcome to Vancouver, Rick! It ain’t Tucson, that’s for sure. You describe yourself as a sdribwons, does that mean you’re only going to be here for a few months each winter or is it a permanent move?

When in Vancouver do you now add the interrogatory "hey?" at the end of most sentences in order to fit in? (From my own experience western Canadians tend to add the initial "h" while easterners tend toward the non-aspirated version.) I'll be honest, I don't know the definition of a <em>sdribwon</em> but it does sound complicated. And it makes me feel cold just thinking about a negative sign in front of the temperature...
