Weird Canadian Stuff

Adjuster Dog is so confused ... she can hardly stand it!  EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE!

Philoberto speaking in BLUE:

Chicken is over $10.00/lb ... gasoline is over $5.00/gal ... one case of beer is $50.00 ... and everything is in Liters and Kilometers.  It's an English speaking country but everyone's English is difficult to understand; every sentence begins with "sooooo" and every sentence ends in a question, eh?  Adjuster dog has never seen a phone booth in her little life, but they are everywhere!  

On most every corner is not a 7-11 but a Tim Hortons.  We were here for a week before we finally asked someone what they sold; we thought it was like a Dennys or IHOP but NO!  Turns out they are a donut shop, fashioned after Dunkin Donuts, absolutely raving about their coffee of all things.  Seems Krispie Kreme came over, big whoop la, and within a year they were gone and Tim's is here to stay!  

So, on the work front, AD is here for another 2 weeks (at least), things are going well, we are seeing claims, writing reports and now the "phase 3" has begun where the bosses ask us to go see all of our claims and "settle" them. Will take awhile and when you're on a "day rate" so be it.  AD is really happy with her digs, great campground, great WIFI, and lots of grass to sniff and of course do her biz in.

Anne made friends with 2 little boys, Mason and John, they are Brits on holiday for  a month from London, they are very proper and Adjuster Dog thinks they speak funny.  Nice kids.  Everyone is truly agog about the new royal, seems Canada is in the British monarchy, who knew?

This is Amanda and Trent and Philoberto posing under Amanda's palm tree. Pink Flamingos are named "Poncho" and "Lefty" ... very nice addition to the campground!


Allow your eyes to meander to the lower right corner of the egg carton.  Our eggs are "Extra Gross".  Colorado is moving towards all signage in English and Spanish; here it's English and French.

Off to scope more claims ... the people that we're seeing this week waited 2-3 weeks post storm to report their damages.  That's weird but oh well, more work for us!

So until later, Peace & Love & Pray for storms!
