August 18, 2009: My wife and I just got back from a weekend at our friends cottage on Stoney Lake. Steve's parents own an island in the Kawathas and his family has about five million dollar + cottages on it. We drove up with him, my son and his wife and took the boat over to Pine Island. The water there was so warm it felt like we were in Mexico again and at night we had a HUGE bonfire with Brad jumping it after a few drinks. We ended up dancing around the fire like some sort of tribal ritual, what a laugh. The fire was so hot... how hot was it? We had to sit about twenty feet back and use ten foot branches to toast our marshmallows. When we got back I washed our two Honda Fits and then I noticed my poor little VW sitting in the garage. I don't think that I've driven it for two weeks, shame on me. So I washed and waxed it and we took a little cruise down through Streetsville. It was nice to be behind the wheel of my trusty VW again
Later today we went to the AMC24 to see District 9 and about a 1/2 hour from the end the film stopped and the power went out. This was around 7:00pm and no one knew what was going on. I went to lobby only to find out that there was a huge storm underway and the both ends of the complex were flooded. We were all herded into one cinema because there was a tornado warning for Mississauga. We took off after a bit and found branches everywhere on our property but no damage at all. Watching the news later during the night it turned out that one person was killed during the storm and about 150 homes were damaged with some being destroyed. Holy! August 21, 2009: We're heading up to the cottage for the weekend and I finally booked a holiday for the end on November at the Iberostar Daiquiri in Cayo Guillermo Cuba. It feels good to have that out of the way and gives me something to look forward to for when it gets cold up here in Canada. August 25, 2009: I got an email about a month ago from Mclellans Automotive expressing interest in SuperBeetles.com and my history with the Volkswagen Beetle. Today I got another email from Editor Mona Nath with a link to their monthly newsletter were they feature my web site http://www.mclellansautomotive.com/newsletter/. I think it is really pretty cool and very flattering, check it out.
