question from [livejournal.com profile] sheepthief

Going back to that question thing.




This is the fabulous 29 Dufferin Bus.

Note the scenery in the background of this photograph. Now, if you are located in the northern hemisphere anywhere south of the Arctic Circle, look outside.

This gives you an idea of the time lag between taking the picture and getting around to posting this response.

It's entirely possible I'll be able to drag this out for an entire year.

Everyone knows that there's snow on the ground year 'round in Canada! It could have been yesterday! (;

I am slightly confused as to why there are two post boxes, though, and why they're different heights.

It's a mommy and baby mail box.

The other fact that you forgot to mention is that because it snows year round ice is the most effective building tool. All Canadians are taught to build ice structures called "Igloos" from a very young age.

The great Canadian enemy is rain!

Don't forget to pack your mukluks (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mukluk) when you come up for the pigroast.

The boxes are probably different ages. I was standing in front of a mall, so it's probably a pretty busy spot for drop-offs as people are getting off the bus.

I'd completely forgotten about that!

Ahh, mailing yourself to work, I see. Interesting daily transport method. The packaging and unpackaging process might be annoying...
