Happy Canada Day.

I got 3.5 days. Yesterday was a coasting day - check e-mail, deal with the urgent stuff.. and none came up.

Great weather today. Got stuff done in the yard, in the garage, had some mojitos on the patio, and went for a dip.

It's pretty cool, isn't it.
We get to see them over Niagara Falls.
Niagara Parks does fireworks every Friday night, but then a huge show for Victoria day - May 24 and Canada Day - July 1.

We also get the frickin traffic.. with 3 major border crossings along the Niagara River, 99% of the traffic funnels through St. Catharines on the QEW.

We drove down the QEW for about 30 kms on Sunday and the US bound traffic was backed up the whole way and beyond. We didn't see the end of the congestion when we got off the highway.

So, figure that it's another 10 to 60 kms to the border crossing - depending on which one you're going to and add maybe another 30 or so to Hamilton - which is where I heard the traffic congestion started - and you're looking at up to 120 Kms of bumper to bumper if not dead stop traffic...
Even if it were construction or an accident just down the road we still saw over 30 kms of traffic jam...

We took country roads home.


What was this thread about again? I forget.
