I don’t know?

Anyway, I was outside of the City and noticed a snowmobile pulling a skier up a hill.

I told the guy to stop the car so I could take a few pictures.

I walked up the hill and I noticed a group of youths.

I began chatting with them until I noticed a very strong French accent.

I quickly said - You from Quebec?

Yes, they were all from Quebec.

I quickly replied- Ahhh..... Tous des maudit Quebecois!!!

They were all from the Canadian Army.

So? I explain to them that I was a blogger and if they would go up the hill so I could take a few shots for my blog?

Now? This is where it gets interesting!!!!

I taught the guy on the snowboard was just going to ski like a water skier would do in the water.



ski



He would zig zag down the hill with the two dogs following close by.
Good shot eh?

Well???? I was 100% wrong!!!

The snowmobile began coming down the hill and he was going faster and faster.

I might add that the guy wasn’t zig zagging!!

The driver was moving very fast and the guy was right behind him.

I could tell by the look on the driver’s eyes that he was concentrating on the road ahead of him and he was moving very very very fast!!!

I wasn’t certain where he was going?

I began thinking - Is this payback time for saying - Les Maudit Quebecois????

It was too late for me to move because I wasn’t sure what was going on???

I was in the middle of a field with no where to jump on turn?? For once my ADHD would be no good to me in this situation.

If I moved right or left? That machine would hit me head on and it would be Bye Bye Charles!!!!

I said to myself - This is it!!!! It’s over!!!!

At the last second, the guy let go of the rope and headed towards a man made ski jump!!!

The snowmobile missed me by inches!!!! I took one last shot!

I never noticed the ski jump and I missed a good shot!!!!

My God? I almost took a heart attack.

I began laughing telling the youths that I didn’t know what was going on???

They were nice enough to do the routine one last time and this time around I took a nice shot of the guy jumping freely in the sky!

Lesson well learn!!!! I will never say to a bunch of youths - Les Maudit Quebecois in a open field again!!!! lol

By the way? They were a nice bunch of kids!!!!

Nice story Charles, but you should not talk like that anywhere, you don't know who is around that would take that as an insult.

Anyway just my advise to be careful what you say. Again nice story and nice pictures
