Happy Canada Day! Hope everyone stays safe and cool today!
Welcome to my country,
there’s so much to explore.
We really are a friendly bunch
but there’s a few things we abhor
So, we’ve written specific rules
for our visitors to keep in mind –
above and beyond the expected
these oddities are considered crime.
Please refrain from removing
a band-aid while in a public place,
and it’s more than just offensive
to fart when in another’s space.
Should you happen to encounter
our most coveted royal, the Queen,
avoid startling or scaring her, or
your arrest will cause a scene.
Driving a sleigh down the highway
may seem a ludicrous thing to do,
however; it’s actually acceptable if
your horse sports bells more than two.
Taking your feet off bicycle pedals,
is illegal in Ottawa, our capital town,
and riding through Sudbury with a siren
will elicit more than just a frown.
While sightseeing with your mother
in Toronto…

A good one to read again – what’s with ladder painting? (Just to be safe … tho I don’t often paint ladders even at home, let alone while traveling …)

Random laws still on the books…I have no idea why there would be a law against ladder painting, lol. Hope you are keeping cool. We are under a heat advisory here.

Highs in 80s here in Asheville NC – a little warmer than Maggie Valley last week, but quite comfy. Cool at night! We’re here a few more days, then turn back west.
