Hard to Escape Yarmouth
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under This Country, This Town | Leave a Comment
Yarmouth is a hard place to escape from. Sure, lots of people leave and move away, but a lot of them end up back here in a few months or years. I’ve known a few who managed to stay away though and they hardly ever visit. Maybe that’s the key, don’t come [...]

If this keeps up I’ll soon have to start riding a bicycle to work, with a wagon to pull Chloe along behind me. $1.34 a litre this week, it’s getting rather crazy, every week the price goes up around 5 cents. To you Americans reading this and whining about your $3.50 a gallon [...]

For the last few weeks, the Canadian dollar has been worth more than the US dollar. Not by much, only a couple of cents. The problem though is that the cost of our merchandise isn’t changing to reflect that. For me, this is most apparent just by looking at the prices of [...]

A good alternative to staying in a hotel while traveling is to stay at a Bed & Breakfast. The experience is similar but feels more like home. Get the comfort of a hotel room but in a quieter, more friendly setting. Do bed and breakfast Toronto style where you can sleep in late [...]

Someone mentioned to me on the weekend that Kwiklink Computers was closed down, that was the first I had heard of it. I asked a few people and they also confirmed that yes, Kwiklink had closed up about 2 weeks ago, around the middle of September. It’s rather surprising news although I must say, I [...]
