Apologies, reading faithful

Please note the correction, from the ' T.O. the bad ' post. Last night murder # 31 took place, not the #40 or so I quoted in the post. T.O. is on track for our normal 60 killings.
To-day, the powers that be, namely T.O.'s mayor whose motto is' no more Hug-a-Thug programs '
and the premier and appropriate cabinet ministers meet to discuss the wave of violence sweeping T.O.

H/H is back for at least one day, humidex will reach 41-2 and we will set a record aussi.

The plan, as in ' Captain America ' - " he's a man with a plan " or in " The Wind and the Lion " - ' a man, a plan, a canal, Panama ' ( this is an example of a ...... , reads the same backward as forward )
I'm not up on U.S. history but in " tWatL " Teddy Roosevelt sure seems to take credit for the ditch digging.
Oh, my plan, get out early. Return bottle empties. In On. we pay a bottle deposit for beer / liquor and return the empties for a refund. I think this house is primarily funding the whole program................ kidding, kinda.

Also, a trip to ' Giant Tiger ' is possible.
GT is a chain of small department stores, by reputation a clone of dollar stores, but GT never says that. GT doesn't really advertise. Everyone sees the smiling Tiger in yellow and black and everyone knows what it means. Probably, one of the most recognized shopping symbols in On. The ' reckie ' list would include Canadian Tire ( Crappy Tires ) to some- a multi-multi venue retailer closely rivalling Walmart w/ less food and clothes.
Tim Horton's ( the coffee / donut empire ) - there is a Timmies in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Walmart, Costco etc. No place has the bargains or rep of GT.
M thinks I dream of going to GT along with the Tractor Store - TSC. In my defence this will be my second trip to our local GT in 2 years.

Back to Tim Hortons. To give you perspective on the popularity and promiscuity of Timmies ( I call it TimToms - ???????????? don't know ) Ontarians mark their routes with TimToms outlets. As in " there's a Tims up ahead or turn at the Tims in town or if there's a Tims we'll stop " So, of course, I go out my way to miss Tims.
' Krispy kreme ' tried to make a go here but lasted a couple of years. There is no rival for Tims. It is not a monopoly but it might as well be considering its popularity.
Tim Horton was a hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL. He started the business, succeeded and died. The company was sold to an U.S. firm but came back to us a few years later. here in my part of T.O. the staff is always East Asian and I'm sure the owner is too, probably.

No cheque, yet.

Update 2012 7-23 1:43 P  Spent 58 dollars at GT. however, in my defence, this price included a BD present for a friend and a Xmas present ( same friend ). Thus, if you recieve a Louisiana Lafayette, Ragin' Cajuns shirt , it was purchased at GT.
