Canada's Biggest Fan
march 7 2009
That is an authentic meal from the Canadian military, an IMP, aka a military ration. I’m so pumped because I’ve always wanted to try one; the people in the books I read are always eating them. He gave me two actually, the other one is a breakfast theme and it’s in my trunk.
If ever I have someone with me in the studio who is fainting from hunger I can now solve that. The one above I’ve got displayed on my kitchen shelf, like art.

Andy went out fishing again today, and emailed me this after.

Seen from the 401 not far from Colborne. I cannot find the website for this bakery, if you know it email me thanks.
Did you know Canada has more “the biggest XXXXX in the World”‘s in the world? See them at BigThings.ca.
I came up to Eagle Lake with Andy, who brought along his friend (and my new one), Tex.
Quick story: while sitting on the ice Tex told us how there was a group of professional divers working in the lake a few years back. All of a sudden they shot up to the surface and refused to ever ever go down into the lake again. They were that spooked AND refused to talk about what they saw. And these guys are professionals. march 5 2009
Weird eh? And Tex is not a guy to elaborate or be dramatic; I believe every word. He said maybe they saw an Ogopogo. Me: “what is that?”.
Well! Turns out Canada has it’s very own Lock Ness Monstor kinda guy, an Ogopogo. I added that to my trip list > Go visit the Ogopogo in BC. Along with searching for the Sasquatch, we will be busy.
