It is so true with all things ...I love this remark. It is so true with all things tourist. They eat paste-ies not pastys and they put gravy on them not Heinz ketchup. they think store bought are good. I've given up a few of my own to people who thought they knew a good one. Mine win! We can always spot a tourist or "Fudgey" as we called them when I lived in the Soo. My snowmoble suit as a kid was on clearance so I had a "Real one" but our machines were not that brand. It was warm and I didn't care. Like the Carhartt brown idea. At 53 I still use my 2nd grade coaster brake bike. Approx 15 yrs ago a bike rental a young man was trying to explain their use on the Island when I rented one. I explained my bike at home was older than he was and I didn't do hand brakes and he totally didn't believe me. It was fun watching others who weren't used to it. <br />SheilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
