Beware of the snacks at The Donner Pass.

I miss the days of Christmas parties companies would do.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I woke just before 6.00 this morning and reached out to put CBC Radio on for the news, as I usually do when waking 'on the hour'.

On weekends and holidays it's some crappy music show (at least it's not all fiddle music anymore) but before I could turn off and go back to sleep they played back a Stuart McLean (now sadly no more) xmas tale. Christmas at the Turlingtons (with Dave and Morley - for a long time I thought he was saying Maura-Lee).

Wonderful stuff. I love the way he tells you innocuous, trivial detail and then it turns out to be a key plot point. It really is laugh out loud funny (the stories) except just after 6.00 am I had to stifle it...with difficulty. Except for the part where an "oh no" slipped out. :o

Here's part one with links to 2 and 3 on the youtube page.

A Christmas miracle this morning going to work.

Left home at 3:58 and arrived at work at 4:12.

I got every green light this morning, and I go through at least 20 or 30 of them.

Everyone else was following a star and it reduced traffic.

Didn't think No Frill's would be closed today, but they are. Put a bit of a kink in my plans, will need to buy airport food tomorrow.:lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Expensive.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I save 10% though...:lol: Well at a couple places I do, some of the vendors don't give staff discounts to airport workers.

All in all though the prices at YVR for most of the places are on par with what the same place outside an airport would charge, seems YVR doesn't permit vendors to price gouge on food.

That's good - Pearson is horrendously expensive. $10 for a sandwich. If I gave time I normally head for the lounge drink their gin.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

That's what you'd pay for a decent sandwich in a cafe locally. Something pre-packed from a gas station is around $7

Syrian chocolates from Nova Scotia, now in NB soon available nationally.

Peace by Chocolate. One peace won't hurt. :lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Really? Though what I saw didn't look decent at all. I probably shouldn't have given sandwiches as a comparison as it isn't something I would normally buy. Wine was definitely far more expensive $12 for a glass. Hence the lounge - it's worth the money.
