Its true. Vernon has taken a flying leap into winter. Just 2 days ago there wasnt even a SPECK of snow on the ground. We now proudly display our half-foot, and, so the new snow wouldnt be lonely, we also invited -15 temps. Dont misunderstand, I did NOT invite these temps, but Im glad the snow is staying, at least for a while. As for the Tim Hortons. I have to mention the yummy new breakfast sandwiches. Its possible many of you have tried them, thats cool. What I love, as a southern boy at heart (family is from Alabama, Georgia, Tennesse) I totally LOVE the fact that theyre on butter biscuits!!! Canadians will call them homestyle or whatever, but the technical term, butter biscuits. Although, this is from a culture that has defined the term "grits" and "chitlin's", so take it with a grain of salt I suppose. I'll now entertain you with my first snow story. I went out last night in the thick of the snowstorm (it wasnt that bad, okanaganers know what our "storms" are like) to get some groceries/pick up a latte. On the way there, the wipers decided to invite a new friend, ice, to come join them, thus effectively rendering me blind. I proceeded to pull over, clear the windshield, and continue. I made it safely to the store. On my way to Starbucks, again with the ice. This time I pulled off onto a side street, almost slid up onto the curb, and got out of the car to snap the ice off the blade. Imagine my suprise when I hear no snap at all, instead, I look down to see the wiper blade still in my hand! Who is the idiot that made plastic clips for winter?! So, with my own arm acting as the wiper arm, I made my way to Starbucks (you didnt actually think Id sacrifice my latte do you?). Starbucks is CLOSED at 9 on Sundays PPL!!! So at that time I decide, WalMart. Gotta get a new blade. Plus, I have to go to Bean to Cup to get a freakin banana mocha! WalMart was closed. Open til 10 every OTHER day of the week. I got my mocha. All was well. And I made it home without a scratch, and with a humorous anicdote for you all. The End.
