Talking About Pubs.

I'm sitting at home drinking a can of Red Bull beer as it's too cold to go to the bar. It's not quite the same is it, having a beer at home? I bet there's not too many people down there. I've even had...

Lake Ontario

Is on Fire! From my windows I can see tendrils of steam/vapour rising up from the lake. I guess there's a name for this phenomenon, but I don't know it....

Still Snowing Here.

I thought I'd let you know. Eighteen hours now, and supposed to continue for at least a day more. It's a veritable Winter wonderland out there...I had to wait about 45 minutes for a cab!...

Breakfast For Supper.

I never eat breakfast; therefore, I'm going to have bacon, fried eggs, garlic toast, and coffee for supper: I do it quite often...Anybody else?

The Clock Guy Again!

I picked up a wall clock in a thrift store today for $30. When I got home, I discovered that it had a beautiful $370 German Franz Hermle and Son Westminster chime movement inside it!
