Each week everyone on the dev team gets some one-on-one time with Tracy. For most, this is some uninterrupted time with the boss to bring up questions, concerns, days off, things they need. For me, this is "How does Canada work" time.
We've covered things like "Stat" holidays, co-ops, and hockey.
This time she was mentioning a couple of our off-site co-workers. She mentioned places they lived that had way more consonants than any place ought to. We discussed "the island." Which led us to the Canadian Rain Forests.
Um, what?
It's not the rain forests of the Amazon, but large forests where it rains all the time.
Ok, I'll give you this one, Canada.
Here's a very large (12,000 sq. mi.) "forest where it rains" between Vancouver and Alaska. It's called the Great Bear Rainforest.
Astounding.
