Delivering Coke in Cold Weather
When I was in Edmonton earlier this month, the temperatures were often down below minus 20° C. (remember, C stands for Canadian, F stands for Foreign). Here is a photo of the thermometer in our rental car at 9 o'clock one morning:
It occurred to me as I walked to our car and passed a Coca-Cola delivery truck, that they must have to heat those trucks in the cold winter weather to keep the Coke from freezing. I asked the driver about it, and he pointed out that the heater on his truck had not been adequate for such cold temperatures:
It was so cold that our hosts put their dogs in thermal jackets with hoods:

-20 degrees Celsius? Where do I sign up for Canada?!
And a last thing... I can't believe people in Canada are so friendly that you can walk up to them (in this case the truck driver) and satisfy your curiosity about their work, and they don't bite your head off.
