How can you tell when you're leaving Pennsylvania? The sign that says "END ROAD WORK"! Ba-dum-pssh! But seriously folks... we lost an hour to traffic slowdown (single lane for miles and miles) on I-81 in PA. A local told me it's been like that for months.

I managed to get a (mild) sunburn before we even got here, thanks to overlooks and hiking in Shenandoah National Park en route. Yes, I do have lots of Scots and Irish heritage!

The weather here is Hot. Even locals are complaining.

Why, in Ottawa, an urban area of about a million people, can we not have even one really good Mexican restaurant? Mexican food, even fast food, here is plentiful, cheap, and good. In Ottawa, "passable" is as good as it gets.

I think it'll take me a few days to spin down from work etc... my subconscious isn't here yet.

I almost wish I was in Pennsylvania -- apparently a game friend of mine lives in that State, :P.

Ottawa sucks, that's why. I like Mexicali Rosa's though. I don't have a fine palate or anything of the sort, so not too picky on that end, just what the food actually is - if it's meat and cheese, good, if it's something I don't like, then no way.

Oh, I wouldn't say Ottawa sucks in general... I'm actually pretty fond of the city, and even more of some folks in it!

Mexi's in the Market is one of the decent places, yes.

Yeah, I wish we could get good Mexican food here, too.

I've known very few Mexicans who have ended up moving here. I think that's why.

Of course :)





What I mean is, I don't think too many Mexicans end up moving here. So there's no one really worrying about authenticity when it comes to eating at the restaurant, since most people don't know what to expect.
