US Route 2

A central part of Maritimers' trail of tears. • If it were not for my impending holidays I would be disgusted with myself for doing things like getting a haircut on a hot summer day off. But things being what they are, it is critical preparation...as critical as ensuring there is a vast array of …

Want to be in on the ground floor of something? Beau's Brewing Company releases its first production this Saturday, pouring their lagered ale for one and all on Canada Day at VanKleek Hill in eastern Eastern Ontario, closer to Montreal than Ottawa. • This is a family operation focusing on one …
Sunday Without Travel
Posted by on Sunday, June 25, 2006 in - 1 comment
I am sufficiently dimwitted to have not twigged to the fact that this weekend is a single break amongst six where I am not on the road in some way or another. How luxurious is the ability to do nothing. And I have. But this is something you really ought to try. Frozen scallops. Get your morter and …

Directions to Doug's - at "A" on the map • We had to hunt a bit in Cortland to find Doug's, just of the I-81 about an hour or so north of the PA border but then we realized that it was quite near the turn off for #13, which is the road to Ithaca that we had always used. While the mall parking …

Who knew an evening in Watertown could be so nice. First, it was stinking hot - though not as stinking hot as the next night - but stinking hot enough to make Genesee Light a viable option at the game. • But before that there was the pie. It was twice in seven evenings that we went to the …

Team GX40 • ...but now I am so I am a big loser. We zipped across and I didn't even take a picture for you: • TnT ties! Reminds me of how I felt on 16 June 1990. • Got made fun of by a US border guard again and got the chilly and very professional treatment from the Canadians on the way back …
Still Out Of It

There is little joy in an extended bout of whatever. I am convinced a one day bout is a luxury to be permitted of oneself and sleep is generally the best cure. But the principle is not to be extended - meaning five days of raw lungs is just a drag. Through it does remind me that in Poland the only …
No News Day

It's tough when you can't cheat. So much of this hobby is cutting and pasting the work of others and adding a tag line or two. But then there are days when nothing triggers that tag. Rural overlords being overlordly and even sooky-take-my-ball-homey. Ho hum. Mid-playoff hockey. Snore. Worrying …
Science Jumps Shark

I now officially do not believe in science anymore as now apparently vegetables are bad for your teeth: • “Dr Chadwick said: "The acidity of ratatouille prepared by oven-roasting is the same as that of some carbonated drinks that, when consumed in excess, are believed to contribute to the …
