A typical Canadian May long weekend!

It's a holiday weekend.  We celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday on the third Monday of May every year.   On Friday gasoline went up, way up.  Saturday morning it dropped by 11 cents!  And they say it has nothing to do with the fact so many people will head out of the city in their vehicles!  They say that every long weekend and say there is no price fixing!

One nice thing about being retired is you gas up on Wednesday at Costco for $1.549 instead of Friday where it was $1.659 according to gas buddy.  Then you stay home!  It's Cloverdale Rodeo weekend which means you also keep off highway 10 and 64th Avenue.  

The weather yesterday was horrible.  It poured all morning.  The sun came out around 3 and I thought great, time for a walk.  Good thing I didn't as there was massive storm just before 6.  There was a funnel cloud near Cloverdale.  I was inside so I didn't see any funnel clouds, but the thunder was very long and loud!  I always think of animals as it frightens them.


Today will be a little better, just a 40% chance of rain during the day and the rain will start again in the early hours.  

I decided to call it winter and I'm making a pot roast tomorrow.  Might as well eat comfort food.
