One of the Boss' colleagues gave her a jar of homemade maple syrup, so she insisted we have pancakes for dinner (something we do, like, once every couple years). I've never been a huge fan of maple syrup—that is, I don't go gaga over it—but this was pretty good. A slightly smoky tinge to it.

Isn't this against the law or something?
Being merely okay with maple syrup? I can't help think that non-Canadians are loopier for the stuff than we are. Maybe familiarity breeding contempt?
I grew up on stuff like Aunt Jemima as I suspect most Americans have. The first time I had the real deal, I never looked back.

And I'm still fine with table syrup. *shrug*

It's been in mid 80s and not a drop of rain here for past 2 weeks and you're not allowed to complain about it because you "have to take what you get".

I read about that the other day. It's remarkable how farmers who rely on immigrant labour would vote for someone who explicitly said he's going to expel those workers. Selective listening really is a thing.
