Probably wrong prediction: We will have forgotten about outdoor dining by 2025 just like we forgot why steam radiators are so hot

• It’s a great idea and works in the city of Vancouver except when it’s snowing and or heavily raining i.e. it works for 365 days a year minus 100 hours or so :-) but we love our convenience and able bodied folks can’t cope with a wee bit of rain or coolness (which is weird to me since those same folks eat outside in -10 at ski resorts like Whistler)
• See my tweet:

This fantastic! Probably wrong prediction: This will all be forgotten by 2025. But I think those who don't have illnesses triggered by light rain & have warm rain gear should consider eating in light rain (under some shelter) even Post Pandemic. It's fun! https://t.co/GSk2sKqv8W

• But we’ll forget just like we forgot why steam radiators are so warm!
  • From NPR: “CHANG: Oh, so familiar. As it turns out, radiators that work too well are partly a result of the 1918 flu pandemic. You see; there was once something called the Fresh Air Movement. It called for people to be outside more and for there to be plenty of ventilation indoors.”

• See my previous posts:

  • How To Vancouverite in the Rain: Always carry a plastic bag for outdoor coffee and doughnuts in the rain

  • How To Vancouverite in the Rain: Always carry chopsticks, spoon, fork, knife wrapped in a napkin since you never know when you’ll have a hankering for adobo, pancit, mapo tofu, kimchi stew, chana masala or sushi

  • How to Vancouverite in the rain: Always carry raingear because we live in a temperate rainforest
