I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Lost in Translation

We're in Revelstoke, a pretty damn nice town in the Canadian Rockies.  Today we took a dogs for a walk on the Giant Cedars Boardwalk (500 year old trees!)

We encountered a number of people on the way who didn't make eye contact and wouldn't say much beyond "hi" if that.  Terrorists?  No, tourists... non-english speakers who were just uncomfortable.

Except for one woman. She was taking pictures into the woods. As I went by, she smiled broadly and gestured at the dogs, saying "Do zeez sneezes da burrs?"

"I'm sorry?" I said.

"Do zeez sneezes da burrs?"

"mmm... could you repeat that?

"Do zeez sneezes da burrs?"

I was starting to feel really uncomfortable, I just didn't have any idea what she was saying, but then she pointed to her nose, and said it one more time, and I suddenly realized she was asking me if our dogs sneezed (she meant smelled) the bears in the woods.

"Oh, yes," I said, "they are very alert."

The woods are filthy with black bears and grizzlies, though we didn't see any. I didn't mind.
