nine random observations from my two-day stopover in beautiful niagara falls, ontario

one, middle-aged men who should never appear topless in public are frequently those most likely to appear topless in public

two, at $16.95 for a day-old cheeseburger and soggy fries, niagara falls can't be beat in terms of freshness and value

three, most tourists lose more money in vending machines than slot machines

four, evidently there is no truth to the longstanding myth that smoking helps to keep the pounds off

five, a haunted house by any other name is simply a darkened room holding six guys in black sweaters hiding behind a door

six, in the absence of daily inspections and proper sanitization of hotel pool, twelve gallons of chlorine will apparently suffice

seven, "why are there no boys on our floor?" is the last thing an overprotective father wishes to hear from his boy-crazy seven-year-old daughter

eight, eavesdropping on neighbours made that much easier thanks to paper-thin hotel walls

nine, what is it about spending a few nights in an unfamiliar bed that makes one long for the comfort and familiarity of home?

falling is easy, getting up is hard



p.s. thanks to blogger's new "stats" feature, i just learned that my blog has received over 6,700 pageviews since inception, almost all of them courtesy of me
