Because I lived in LotusLand (Vancouver) for 4 years, I also have an addiction to froofy, overpriced, Italian-derived coffee drinks, so I go get my latte fix on Sundays.<br /><br />My car has no cupholders (yet), so I bought a travel mug with a handle that attaches to the cup only at the top; the open hook-shape allows me to hang it off the door handle while I shift gears.TheBrummellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973380652057861796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216099.post-51442436909059641042010-02-09T14:10:13.146-06:002010-02-09T14:10:13.146-06:00I've been told that Saskatchewan has the lowes...I've been told that Saskatchewan has the lowest population density per linear unit of roads in the world - something like 2.1 km of road per person living in the province.<br /><br />That's one reason why there's so much just...empty... out here. Off the main routes, which means on any highway except 16 (transCanada northern route), 11 (Saskatoon-Regina corridor), or 7 (Saskatoon-central Alberta route), I'm almost always the only car from (distant) horizon to (distant) horizon.<br /><br /><i>Soon you're gonna run out of places to drive!</i><br />Unlikely. There are more than 2 million kms of road in this province alone, and in theory I can drive to pretty much anywhere on this continent, including your place.TheBrummellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973380652057861796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216099.post-85813207746786427412010-02-08T19:07:22.746-06:002010-02-08T19:07:22.746-06:00Wow... that's a lot of open land and sky.

Actually, coffee shops are hard to come by here, strangely. Where was I going with this? Never mind. Glad you're putting kms on your car. Soon you're gonna run out of places to drive!Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153076425887492166noreply@blogger.com
