I've never used snow shoes, but I've had snow shoes. I had them today, for the second day in a row. Snow shoes happen when you are shoveling snow that is waist high in your driveway. Snow shoes happen when the clever snow evades the careful wrappings around your boots and creeps down alongside your ankles while you are in the process of relocating other snow.
I love Canada and I love Nova Scotia, but I'm tired to death of fucking snow. I need a job that takes me to the equator from November 15th until April 5th every year.
I am seriously considering 'Plan C', where I move to the Caribbean and sleep under a palm tree and live off coconuts.
