I’d probably be dead before 60 😵 Not a big hot dog Guy, but there is a place close to Me in Burlington called Easterbrooks that has been around since the twenties. They have every kind and description of hot dog ever made very messy but good . They have walls full of celebrities that have been there very cool .

Defining moment for Olympics for You ?
4x 100 for Me nobody had Canada winning, the Young Swimmer Summer did really well but that was expected.

You always love to see a gold medal where one wasn't expected. I thought the Men's 100M was awesome too. Got to love a photo finish!

I have watched very little of Olympics this summer, just no time..STILL have an 8 yr old who wont go home, gettin' spoiled alittle too much by nan and pop maybe haha..BUT this 4x100 was the best I have seen in a long time and having it be considered an upset makes it even more special..Great race for sure.. Brother from Vancouver will be here this time tomorrow..He'll be watching the games for sure as Roger might be more interested than myself..Kovs, Roger will be asking about you for sure, he'll want to know how you are doing!! Just hope you're not roasted with heat down there..We had close to 30 today and we were building a small patio, thought we were melting, on break as of this moment..

I’m with you, same down here. I agree. If a politician thinks it's a good idea, there likely wasn't any logic associated with it.

I’m with you, same down here. Edmonton put in bike lanes for a cost of 11mil , and something in the neighborhood of 2mil to maintain in Winter annually. We are being trolled by politicians.

Do you remember 47years ago when Elvis died where you were ? I was 12 and I remember my mother being really upset about it. He was huge to my parents generation. I was an Elvis fan but to them it was the end of an era.

Do you remember 47years ago when Elvis died where you were ? Celebrating my 16th birthday and ready to go down and write for my licence. Was working on our car lot with my brother who was so upset over Elvis that he had to go home. I had to work the place by myself and didn't get out for my 365 (Driver's licence) until the next day. Damn you Elvis. LOL

14 years old spent the summer in Thunder Bay as my Dad was working up there , they were preparing for a Big Party as the job was finished. We were at Friends house where the Party was being thrown, Friends Wife ran into the room with the news everyone was stunned.

Cashman and then a little further down MacTavish. That's about as good as I can do as it's a little before my era!
