Home again home again...

Well I just got back from a very quick trip to the Fraser Valley in BC. It was a little weird to see the leaves coming out on their trees already.

People - I hath found paradise and its name is Abbottsford BC. In a time when I'm seeing 85 cent per litre gasoline, Abbottsford has it at 68 cents. What's weird is that just down the road toward Vancouver, the price is 95ish. I just don't get it...

While watching TV there, I saw this news item: A marijuana grow op was discovered on Vancouver Island. Give me a break! This is news? Heh.

You know - it rained like there was no tomorrow. I swear BC must be the only place in Canada where whisps of clouds seem to float mere feet above the ground (at almost sea level!)

On the way back we saw signs that read "do not pass" - made me wanna tack "go" to the bottom.

I think Vancouver has a city gas tax of a few cents per litre so it's always cheaper inland but 68 cents sounds like a price war

I just checked and there is a 4 cent per litre tax to help fund public transportation

Ahhhhhhhhh!

drives me nuts. I drove out to Alberta and back two weekends ago and yes Abbottsford was the cheapest then. All I will say is I can walk to almost everything we need. Living downtown Vancouver has it's benifits (just not in the area of gas prices).
