OTW is off to Vancouver!
I was going
to make a post about the happenings in Vancouver.
I was even prepared
to make a joke about a cougar and an older sex-lady who likes younger
men.

However, it turns out that it's hard to
write about the hip places in town when you've never been there.
Also Vancouver is more dangerous than any of us ever thought... which
is a distracting thought.
A 1991 study showed that the highest
proportion of cougar attacks have occurred in British
Columbia, particularly on Vancouver
Island where cougar populations are especially dense.
“Oh, Dana
— Vancouver is so great; you'll probably not die at all.” Nice
try, friends.
Much
like bears, your best chance at survival is to pretend to be bigger,
speak loudly and calmly, and maintain intense eye-contact.
However, do not play dead and do not
poo yourself (it's a pungent sign that you're afraid). Don't run,
either; these assholes love a good chase.
To
survive an orca encounter, stay out of the ocean. Being in it is
completely avoidable and unnecessary. The ocean is big and everything
in it will kill you.
Look
at your legs. Are they attached to each other and come to a wonderful
fan at the bottom? No? Then go find your local community pool.
There
is also a nude beach. So...

So did you make it to Wreck Beach to get a full-body tan? Heavenly spot there, and guaranteed no man eating bears, cougars, or orcas. Loved seeing your photos on FB, and looking forward to your Vancouver Review. :)
ReplyDeleteI decided not to do a review post for Vancouver. It was such a big trip I couldn't decide what to narrow down to. So, I guess I'm just keeping it all to myself.
