Hey everyone! I just got back from about five hours of touring the state. Sadly, I didn’t see much other than grey skies and farm land. I have one photo taken at the most northern point to which I traveled. When I got back into the car from taking the shot I saw that the temperature outside was 12º C (that’s almost 54 American Degrees). It looks as if the clouds are finally clearing. I may get some nice weather out of this trip yet.

Thanks Brenan. I just spent $12CAD on a lousy lunch.. at least I got rid of most of the change.

Sal, you may not believe this, but the forearms are the reason I posted that photo. When I saw it I thought “Jesus, look at the arms on that guy. Hey, and they are completely in focus!”

Barb, I think a single application yesterday would have helped. But, because I didn’t see the people handing out the free samples I had nothing.

I believe the $2 coin is called the “Toonie”. Pretty clever, eh? I actually like the dollar coins — they’re very handy and a lot easier to use than bills — especially in vending machines which may or may not decide to accept that crumpled up dollar bill you’ve had in your wallet for the past two months.

I got a little sunburned, and Allan got more burned than me up at Lake Lanier this weekend, but it was sunny and hotter than hell. I just need to remember to reapply more often…..

I didn’t know that about the Canadian money – a $2 coin – very interesting.

Holy crap, I’m so embarrassed. I got sunburned yesterday. IN CANADA of all places!

As I was going to buy my ticket for yesterday’s game I saw a canopy being set up to hand out free sunscreen. I thought “huh, that might be smart I should get some when I come back… I bet my base tan is good enough, it’s not like I’m Canadian or anything.”

But then when I went back to the game the canopy was gone (probably because the wind was so strong that they couldn’t keep it from blowing away) so I couldn’t get any if I wanted to.

And this morning I find that my arms are red and that the back of my neck stings a little. Looks like I might have to find my way to a drug store for sunscreen today as I’m sure I’ll be spend a lot more time outside this week.

Let me also add that I’m not stupid, I do know that the sun shines brightly in Canada. Proof of this fact is that I packed my big floppy hat that I bought in Arizona a few years ago. I just didn’t imagine that I would get this much sun on a cloudy (yes, I know UV rays penetrate clouds) Canadian day — I thought that my body was better prepared than it proved to be.
