The Quirky Currie Clan
So, my family can be a little quirky from time to time. The trick is, figuring out when they're being serious, and when they're not. Sometimes, it's hard to tell which is which.
My dad is a fan of the "sitrep". That's military jargon that stands for "Situation Report", which really just means "update". The latest has to do with the recent smog alert in southern Ontario. A redacted version is copied below.

Hi Sarah,
...Believe it or not, Toronto and Hailton have been under a smog alert for nearly a week now. There haven't been any surface winds, so the emissions are just mixing with the humid air and hanging there. We had a couple of bad days here in Simcoe too. I've never heard of smog alerts for this area during winter before. Another good reason for everyone to get on side and implement that Toyota Accord...
Have a good week.
Love, Dad.
