Road Trippin’
Peter and I are hittin’ the road tomorrow morning, so light blogging till Labor Day. When we get to my parents’ house I’ll have more time to see the news and then be drawn like a moth to flame to rant and rave about what I see, and in the meantime I’ll have at least daily updates, so don’t forget about me entirely. I haven’t missed a day yet, by golly, and I don’t intend to now.
Unfortunately I forgot to warn Bubblehead, and he’s sent his readers over to me for my usual sterling delivery of content. Don’t worry, submarine fans! There’s lots to read here! And if you need more topical information, may I suggest Little Green Footballs, Tim Blair, and Wheat & Weeds. All update often and are on different time zones. I think that covers a nice cross section of the People Whose Opinions Count.
Oh and I should mention that I can’t check my ninme mail while I’m at large, so anyone who needs desperately to get in touch with me (I can hope can’t I) just leave a comment.

Well, well, what do you know. I just got back from a one-day road trip to Toronto (from Erie) early this morning! We (three Aussies! (from Orient are)) drove to Niagra Falls early in the morning, then on to Toronto, where we did typical tourist things like go to the top of the CN Tower, and have lunch at Hooters. Then we drove back to Niagra Falls to do typical tourist things like look at the falls at night, and have dinner at Hooters. All in all, a great day.
Don’t those Torontonians have a chip on their shoulder though?! They all seem to want to get visitors’ opinions about the relative merits of Canada and the US. Of course Toronto is remarkably reminiscent of Sydney (but without the cool harbour) so it was easy for us to make heroes of ourselves and say how much better it is (because it reminds us of home. sniff. And the kilometres per hour signs! sniff-sniff).

Fantastic!
Did they really ask you that? That’s so funny. I knew it!
Well, there’s no holiday like a Canadian holiday when you’re on their good side. Good for you, Aussies! Selling out your host nation for a pleasant day across the border!

Yes, indeed, we were asked for our opinion four times during the day. Of course now that we are safely back in our host nation, we may do a Mayor Quimbi and “flip-flop”.

“I, uh, declare that this country is…” Ah, I can hear it now. The dual Hooters meals were appropriate.
