The missus thinks a wall should be built around Colorado so we don't get any more of their bad weather.
What a great idea, does she also have a plan for those Polar Vortices? Maybe we need a wall around Ontario,

How high does a wall have to be to stop weather? Maybe we need a dome.

Can we put "no more Colorado weather" in the next trade deal?

How long until the some Americans start railing against "Canadian sleeper states."

Colorado obviously does Canada's bidding in helping spread bad weather across the rest of the continent.

Guess that means you will have to get up two hours early and shovel the walk before heading to work, eh?
Wrong.
It meant I slept in 2 hours, shoveled/blew snow for 2 hours and told my boss that I was going to be in at all.

The side benefit of that is that you could call it America's third largest circus (right behind Oregon and California) and charge admission.

Two more candidates that qualify for immediate acceptance into Canada, hey just give us the whole West coast, the new England States ( except New York) and Minnesota. You guys don't appreciate them anyway. We'll trade you Alberta and Quebec for them.

At least it came from Colorado and us Canadians aren't being blamed as per usual.
Actually no clouds at all. Just a certain type of smoke cloud billowing up from Colorado.

Today it is the largest building in the world.

I first entered the place back when they only made the 747 there, and had just broke ground to add on for the 767, which had not yet started production. I went in on an engineering students only tour. Somewhere I have a bunch of pictures I shot (they actually allowed us to bring our cameras in) of the 747 assembly line.

When first opened they discovered a problem with the building design. Being a large uninsulated metal box, with no hvac systems the humid Pacific Northwest air condensed on the ceiling. There were ‘rain storms’ inside.

Some fans were added to circulate the air and that relived the indoor mini weather systems.

Today there are five airplanes manufactured there, and the building had nearly tripled in size since first opening in the late 1960’s.
Largest by volume, and a very impressive number it is: 13,300,000m3.

Largest by area it's fourth:

1st place, by area goes to the Aalsmeer Flower Auction building, at 518,000m2. Second is the Dubai Mall at 500,000m2. Third is Tesla's Gigafactory at 427,354m2. Floor area of the Boeing factory is 398,000m2.

That Mountie uniform has changed a bit since the last time I've seen one. My mate Gary, who's a retired Mountie, looks nothing like that in his uniform. Although, he does shoot a Nikon.....
