Traditionally from a retail point of view, "Black Friday" is that Friday after the US Thanksgiving when retail shops begin their Christmas campaign. Interestingly, I saw a number of Christmas displays in some stores a couple of weeks ago and heard Christmas Carols playing. It is not a holiday, but

Tim Horton's coffee! Finally! Driving down I-75, wanting a coffee, dreading another cup of the stuff that is called coffee, I saw a sign for Tim Horton's, just outside Saginaw. Being a good Canadian, my reflexes were quick and I managed to get into the lane for the

Twenty five years ago, when I drove through Northern Wisconsin, I was half asleep having driven all the way from Havre, Montana without any rest. However, I did notice how beautiful they "Dairyland" State was with it's rolling hills, forests, streams, lakes and rivers and I always wanted to

When we woke up this morning, we decided against driving through Chicago for a variety of reasons. So we chose another route which carries on via Hwy 2 through northern Minnesota - the same highway we've been traveling almost since entering the US in Montana. This evening, we stopped

At least for today. 764 km (about 462 miles) of driving in 8 hours was enough. We left Glasgow, Montana earlier with the thought we might try to make it to Fargo, North Dakota but decided to call it a day in Grand Forks, ND. Montana never seemed to end.

Glasgow, Montana that is. We left Edmonton at about 3PM yesterday (Friday) and headed to Red Deer where we had to stop for a couple of errands that needed to be made. A pair of Wranglers from Lamlies (the cut I like is difficult to find in Ontario), as well as

Anyone remember the song done originally in North America by Hank Snow and then later by others including Johnny Cash? I do... and sometimes I think I could come up with my own version especially after this week. As I wrote a few days ago, I can now say I've

So you can't always go by Google Maps. The directions were good, but the estimated time of the trip was almost double than the actual length of time. Google Maps said it would take over 9 hours to drive the 535 km (about 320 miles) from Whitecourt to Fort McMurray.

I was sitting at the international airport in Toronto the other day, waiting for my flight to Edmonton and noticed how short the lineup to go through the security checkpoint was. It brought back a memory from 25 years ago, when I worked for a division of the company
