Old Telephone Building in Aldergrove, BC.

The best thing about celebrating my birthday in Canada? With the exchange rate, 49 years is only 37.19 back home.

Thoughts Before Bed:

I originally moved to the Pacific Northwest to see about becoming Canadian to be with a love.

Now I hope I don't have to become a Canadian because my government has stopped loving me.

The reason I'm in Canada this birthday: I'm FINALLY tracing the Old Yale Road from Vancovuer to Yale. While not quite Canada's version of the Oregon Trail, it was a major old wagon road from New Westminster to Yale and Beyond.

I found an 1880s era map that showed the road, and found the reamnants on a map, and have started driving it. There's not much left of the old road between Vancouver and Abbotsford other than a few historic signs and a building here and there, but I'm hoping to find more as I get out of the urban areas....

I really should resurrect "Bad Poutine Theatre."

It's okay, Doctor Endocrinologist, these are much healthier Canadian snacks. Not like our USian snacks!

Despite looking like a giant dookie, Mr Big bars are probably my favorite Canadian chocolate bar.

It's staring at me. IT'S STARING AT ME.

So...do they quiet your muffler? Do they do it quietly? Are the just shy?

Ahh, the symbol of Canada. A metallic grizzly wearing shades.

GEOFFREY LIVES!

Of all the places to eat while in Canada. I ain't turning down Church's.

Had trouble finding a bank that would take my card to get cash. But when I did, look what was next door....

Not gonna turn down serendipity when it shows its face.

Good to be back.

Off to Canada. Let's put on some driving music....

Did I just go viral with that Guy Fleegman toot? Cause I'm still not sure how to scale Favourites and Boosts to Likes and Re-Tweets.
