Good for you! It's good that you had someone to go on a fursuit outing with too. LOL at the taxi driver backing up.
In my case, I got one step closer to having a fursuit.
I bought a black fake fur hat and some fabric. During my nine days off of work coming up, I plan to find the time to sew some big cat ears onto that hat.
I live in Canada too, in east central Saskatchewan. We have a "heat wave" now, with the current temperature being -7 Celsius.
