Home again

Back in Bris Vegas! The trip home wasn't too bad. Flew from Vancouver to Los Angeles - which was spectacular, the highlight being Mt St Helens (see the photo). It was truly massive and beautiful!


Los Angeles is truly massive as well, and I guess beautiful in it's own way (as Ben Lee would say 'living proof that people need to be together...'). I visited a customer for work, and then did a little shopping and also drove aimlessly around downtown for a while since I had never really done that before. Amazing how one avenue changes from being swanky downtown office blocks to a block with hundreds of homeless people on it in only a mile. The scale of homelessness in some parts of LA is really shocking.

The other major story of the day for me was that I ate donuts from both Tim Hortons (in Canada) and Krispy Kreme (in LA) in the same day. A feat worthy of note methinks.

i think what everyone wants to know is; which are better...?

A good and worthy question, dear E. In my humble opinion, there is an inherent strength both in Krispies and Tims. Krispies strength is the delectability of the fresh glazed donuts, fresh off the baking tray. the way a fresh Krispy melts in ones mouth is a luscious experience without match. However Tim Hortons tops the scale with the enchantment of their variety of flavoured donuts.

Dear E, the world needs BOTH Krispy Kreme and Tim Hortons for cosmic balance to remain intact.

I rest my case.
