P.A.D.

One thing that I had heard of before relocating to Alberta was S.A.D, or seasonal affective disorder. It seems that everything is being labelled a disease or disorder these days, so I figured that I would coin another related one: P.A.D., or provincial affective disorder.

One person that I know in Calgary had been talking about how one of his kids had decide to move to B.C., but ended up back in Calgary as they couldn't stand it being overcast and raining so frequently. On my most recent trip to B.C. the weather was also rather depressing, as I mentioned earlier.

One thing that also continually seems to cause the cancellation of planned trips to Golden, B.C. is that is always seems to be overcast in the region. This weekend seems no exception. I was thinking of running out there for a few days now that I have a little bit of time, given that my prior vacation wasn't always exactly spectacular. However, that isn't looking too probable at the moment given the weather conditions.
