Dash Cam + Red Light
So for my birthday, Olessia got me a dash cam (thank you Olessia!). I needed to get a grocery item and put some gas in the car and on my way home, I caught this. I really don’t know what was going through this driver’s head… The light turned yellow and they appeared to stop. Then waited for it to turn red before figuring that was a good time to go. I get why car insurance is so expensive here… Continue reading Dash Cam + Red Light

Lunch yesterday in Toronto. This is smoked meat poutine from Nom Nom. The menu was fantastic and I had a rough time picking a meal. This one was pretty darn Canadian with the smoked meat coming from Montreal, proper cheese … Continue reading Poutine
