We moved to Canada six years ago, but my friends still find the way to make fun of me from time to time. And I like it.

I suppose this photo is for public use and I don't know who the author is. Hope he or she don't mind if I use it in my post.

You can't imagine how important is here to keep your car in the good shape here in the winter. Especially the battery. My first winter was tough. I didn't know anything about block heaters and remote starters and cranking amps. The learning lesson was expensive but fast.

I took my mule for a ride just to warm it up a bit and pump some hot oil and antifreeze through its guts and fresh warm air through vents. And alternator to pour some fresh juice into the battery.

I parked my car, pay $4 for an hour and let the engine running. Meanwhile, I also took a few clicks for my new post.

It was minus 12 degrees on the thermometer. Not too bad. But wind chill -21. That's bad.

This is Edmonton legislature building. Quite impressive. A young couple asks me to take the photo of them with the building in the background. I assumed they just came to Canada. Their eyes we happy and they didn't feel the cold. They'll learn about our winter the hard way. But not today; they'll have enough time later on.

The detail from the street.

And the nearby shot of the building from the third photo.

My ass was freezing and I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. I run to the car, jumped in and left. The car was warm and happy and the city of Edmonton budget too. They got $2 tip because my stay was only a half of an hour long.

Stay warm my Canadian followers.
