My friend Sean and I walked into La Vieille Europe on St. Laurent Blvd. in Montreal and found this delectable treat on its shelves.
He, his wife and I tried it later on and we all gave it a passing grade.
Not the most obvious flavour pairing, I know, but it was very interesting.
Although I liked it very much, I don’t recommend having more than one square at a time.

The things you can do with M&M’s, eh?

A friendly Sun reader, reacting to a recent column about questionable highway driving, provided this link from an insurance company.

The site explains how to optimally position your rear-view and side mirror such that blind spots are eliminated. The author states emphatically “I don’t believe in ‘blind spots.'”
I gave his instructions a try. It turns out my mirrors were already positioned as described — and the blind spot is still there, although it’s very, very slight.
If you drive, why don’t you give it a try. It might improve the field of view of your car mirrors.

The mascots for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games were on hand in Castlegar, B.C., on Aug. 16, 2008, to help open the town’s new town hall and adjacent Spirit Square. Unfortunately for the mascots (and the actors playing them) it was about 38 degrees C at the time — roughly 100 degrees F.

Saw this Thursday as I was driving away from the Louisbourg Fortress National Historic Site in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
I’ve never seen an eagle this close up before!

Looks like this building will eventually be moved.

Did a double take when I saw this one left by the mailboxes in my apartment building.
I wonder how RBC feels about this.

You don’t need the weather office to tell you there’s been a lot of snow in Montreal this season. Just look at this:
