The highways are literal ice, either thawing, freezing or going to become ice later tonight and people all over facebook, messenger, whatsapp, whatever are all messaging each other and me and my family asking what the highways are like today and if they can safely go out. People are dying on the highways this week all over the north. Stay at home.

The safest thing to do is just don't go on the highway when it is raining in December in northern Ontario!!!

You could also have barricades up around that and you'd still get a few drivers asking if they could go through there.

I'm a tradesperson, I work at a monument. Tourists pay to enter and look at old shit. The also try to enter blocked off areas with signs like: Danger, entry forbidden, hazard of immediate death or dismemberment!
And when told no, you could easily die, fuck off. They almost always say something like "BUT I PAID THE TICKET PRICE! I DEMAND TO SEE EVERYTHING!" And then sometimes they get escorted off site.

I always wanted to be a lighthouse keeper! How's the pay?

Absolute garbage, decent benefits though...like crippling loneliness!

You just need to develop schizophrenia, then you'll always have a friend by your side!
