The Prairie Stare
Stare Number One - Head lowered, eyes glassy and fixed, mouth slightly agape.
You have just driven into the field of vision of this Albertan and will be watched until you drive out of sight over the horizon. Or until Tuesday, whichever comes first.
Stare Number Two - Direct gaze, expression calm verging on stern, jaw relaxed.
You have indicated that you are from "out of province" by demonstrating that you have a basic grasp of the fundamentals of recycling and water conservation.
Stare Number Three - Eyes narrowed, head cocked to one side, lips pressed into a thin line.
You have failed to spit after saying the words "hippie" or "Toronto" or "provincial sales tax."
Stare Number Four - One eye shut, dominant eye pressed to the sight on the scope.
You have inadvertently insulted an Albertan's truck/dog/mama/hockey team/brand of whiskey.
