British Columbians (Canadians?) are weird, ha, ha.
I remember road tripping with my wife up the coast and seeing golfers 'enjoying' the southern Canada weather in a pouring rain.
I will say that I fell in love with Orca Imperial Stout (it's (was?) a whale of a beer) at Gilligan's Pub (when it was there) on the Sunshine Highway in Sechelt.
We're back in Arizona now and in some ways I'm jealous -- although it's nice to be somewhere again that has four seasons rather than fall year round. Ha, ha, again.
