BLOOD MOON. It was -20C last night, and there I was, trudging across a farmer's field in the snowy darkness, periodically holding up my phone. Is it up, now? Nope, so I walked some more, freezing my ass off, until FINALLY, my phone got signal and I was able to hit Reddit and get this pic for you!

-20C? Why were you walking around in METRIC weather?
Canada :)
Wanna hear something crazy? YOU live under a "metric" system, too. That's what a "mile" is. It's actually a mille, which is 1000 paces. I learned this in Egypt.
Damn, Egyptians have some long legs.
That's true, isn't it. Wait. Since a mile is someting like 5800 feet, maybe it's a full walk, left/right, taken as one step?
A pace would definitely be two steps, yes. A mile is 5,280 feet. I was reminded by a cop who pulled me over and let me get a warning if I could calculate my rate of speed in feet/second. 5,280 x 64 mph divided by 60 minutes divided by 60 seconds = 93.866 feet per second. No problem, thanks officer!
Sask or Alberta?
