Went to Vancouver a couple weeks ago.........


......wasn't one of my more enjoyable trips to Vancouver for a few different reasons (namely, an exchange rate that right now gives you $1.03 Canadian for a US Dollar, a three-plus hour wait on a goddamm MONDAY at the border, not really going out and doing much, and a couple other reasons)........a few nice pics, though........and I got some Swiss Chalet outta the deal, so it wasn't too bad of a trip!!

Also made a trip to Buffalo last weekend. Nothing really new or interesting....few pics again....


Saw this advert at the baggage claim at Buffalo-Niagara International......












.....and I was like: "What The Fuck???!!!?"



Buying a boat is "affordable"?? Did these people have just the slightest eeensey inkling of a clue what the median wage is around Western New York?? Do they harbour even a fucking guess as to just what a February National Fuel Gas bill (National Fuel Gas, by the way, is widely regarded around Western New York as being N.F.G.) does to an average Buffalo household??? Maybe this pic will give them a clue:

And, after receiving said N.F.G. bill in March (sometimes, literally, to the tune of $350 or more a month), you then rush to Duff's, for 20 of the best wings known to exist in Western New York (better than The Anchor Bar, yes, and better than La Nova....best in BUFFALO, I said.....not overall - MY wings that I make are best overall....and Wingstop would be second, but since neither my wings nor any Wingstop franchises are in Buffalo, Duff's have the best wings there, then) washed down with five pitchers of Genny and four Vodka-Loganberries to help you forget about that $350 Natural Gaz bill....













I'm outta town for the next two weekends, I'll post again when I can! Hope you enjoyed 'em.....
