Drivers in Canada play hockey while stuck on highway

Drivers in Quebec, Canada who were stuck on a highway due to a 50-car pileup made use of their time by playing a game of pick-up hockey.

Police had blocked off the icy road while crews cleared away the wreckage.

The impromptu hockey game seemed to be the best way to pass the time until the highway was reopened.

4. Everything is easy after a second cup of

BMC

[marble falls]

6. I'll get some donuts and be right over.

[malaise]

7. Ha

I haven't eaten donuts in at least 45 years

[marble falls]

9. Did I say donuts? I meant health food.

[malaise]

10. I don't always eat healthy food - not by a stretch

but fried pastry is a no no.

[marble falls]

13. If its fried, beige, or white I'm probably not eating it. I may eat four or six donuts a year ...

but I don't drink soda or eat fried foods. I do have fried oysters maybe once a year. But never eat eat fries or onion rings or have more than a hamburger a month.

Getting older requires budgeting risks.

14. I eat fried fish

Don't drink soda either - haven't eaten red meat or pork since 1979. I just stopped eating them one day. I do eat seafood and bird.

16. Farmed catfish is off my list. Its too mushy usually. I don't eat a tenth of the red meat I used to.

Broiled or poor man's lobster style white fish, or wild caught salmon in a quick saute MR and I am happy. Having salmon tacos tonight!

17. We call poor man's lobster janga

there's a great janga soup in some spots of the island.
Way back when, some neighbors and I used to walk our dogs in the St Andrew hills alongside the Hope River on Sundays, and as we got to know the young men, they'd give us a bag with anywhere from three to five pounds. That was quality food back in those student days

18. Janga? I like it. Sounds better than poor man's lobster.

11. My sons would have used such an...

...opportunity to kick a soccer ball around.

[malaise]

12. Way better than stressing out in a car

15. I love Canadians. Live right across the border from Canada.

I'd love to emigrate, but it's hard to work there.

19. LOL! Arctic Winter Games? We surfed on the bus!

GO NOOKS!

[malaise]

20. Well you're colder than Canada

[akraven]

21. Not always, seems funny to say.

Once, in Whitehorse YT, it was 27 below but 22 above here! We didn't mind Whitehorse (VERY neat town) but weren't sorry to get home.

Cold is always relative - humidity level is a biggie, wind is a biggie - here, it's humidity at damn near zero and no wind, so getting out is actually fun.

Layers, layers, layers no matter how "puffy and stupid" (our kid's words) works!
