Day 6 - The Soo to Thunder Bay via Wawa
Saturday, October 25th, 2008
Heading into the long-haul to Thunder Bay from the Soo, we fired up the team to engage in some good ol’ fashioned conversation. Fancy that. I have to say – when one of us laughs, it’s like a virus… We all catch it, and it doesn’t go away. I am going to have to call these guys every day once the tour ends, because I sure will miss these outbursts/sessions. We laugh so hard my abs hurt!
The only downer in team dynamic on this trip is that everyone keeps stealing my lines and passing them off as their own. It’s like I have to patent everything before it comes out of my mouth. Dave is particularly talented at this skill, and innocently tries to blame it on the fact that he’s in the front driving and can’t hear me say it first. I guess I’m just a producer of content for people. I mean, who really wants to hear an Australian accent, anyhow? We know that On Star doesn’t…
Day 5/6 - The Soo
Saturday, October 25th, 2008
When we rocked up to our hotel, it was clear the Days Inn wanted to show off the fact that Dola & Co had decided to retire for the evening there, and consequently we scored prime parking. Perfectly timed too, as an entire stadium of people emptied out of a hockey game and got to come by and have a chat. Nice work.
Back to business – Toast and Cat headed off in a cab to hit up Future Shop, following a somewhat frightening incident which prevented us from uploading our video footage onto the laptop. The very kind employees there were extremely helpful, and the cab driver on the way home provided us with a definitive session of Soo-101, so we didn’t have to feel like we zipped through without some background on the town. We learned that we were only steps from the waterfront and the world famous shipping ‘locks’ – precisely where we wanted to be the next day for Dola’s portfolio building. Right…off to another 10pm dinner…and another town that stocks Kokanee. Sweeeeet. We needed one after this day.
