The Fun Continues...

We won't discuss the ongoing situation with the boat's broken head....it's too nice a day for me to be that grumpy! Let's jump to my second biggest concern....I'm nearly out of Tim Horton's coffee and I forgot to pick some up in Toronto.
Americans don't understand that Canadian DNA requires regular jolts - er, infusions - of Timmie's in order for us to function. Most Americans further south in fact look puzzled at any reference to a 'Timmies'...
Still, it's quite mild, probably low 70s or high 60s, mostly cloudy - take THAT Toronto.
Spent a fascinating half hour yesterday talking with the dockmaster about clamming and oystering - all that free seafood just waiting for someone to go and get it. I'll head to the hardware store later and pick up some gear (rake, clam knife...) and let you know how it goes after I've tried it.
A few miles from here, on Jekyll Island, there's a creek that was long ago named Christmas Creek - supposedly because it has all the gifts of food one could ever want, at least seafood. Apparently there is good fishing, shrimping, clamming and oystering. Sounds like a side trip is in order...
