O Canada!

Tomorrow morning we cross the border to Canada, our adopted home. It will take us three full days of driving (900 miles) to reach our cabin in the Skeena River valley. And as we drive north, the towns get smaller, further apart, and the roads emptier. There will be plenty of coffee and donut stops ahead and it’s in the midst of the Tim Horton’s Roll Up the Rim campaign. Drink your coffee, then roll up the paper rim to see if you won anything! The first time we took part in this Canadian tradition, we won two cups of coffee and figured that was a good omen for our prospective move. There is a slight problem though. It's damn hard to roll up the rim!

Did you know that some clever soul (from my hometown, Ottawa!) invented a little plastic gizmo you can use to rrrrroll up the rim? It's called a Rimroller...very nifty little device. They even come with a ring to put them on your keychain :-) ...sold at Lee Valley stores and Zellers, in case you're wondering.
