Yay, Another Soggy Day

Waking up to the raspy chatter of chipmunks, I took a walk around Twin Shores' beach and rec areas. Enjoy this clip of the calm before the downpour.



The plan was to drive to town--Summerside--for lunch and shopping. When we hopped into the minivan at 11:30, the thing wouldn't start. Thankfully, we could call the auto club toll free and get a truck out to the campsite! Although I was pretty sure it wasn't the battery--it couldn't be; it'd never failed us! plus the weird clicking didn't sound like a flat battery--the guy eventually hooked my vehicle to his big old tow truck and my engine cranked right up! He said to keep it running for 25 minutes; so, of course, we gratefully took the opportunity to hit Summerside!

In succession, we raided Wal-Mart, Dollarama, and Canadian Tire, before grabbing some Canadianised "Chinese" food at China Star Restaurant. A good thing, too, as the rain poured heavily outside. Then we drove by a couple of lobster and seafood retail places--there were lobsters available for $7.45/lb, but those suckers were humongous, and being the sole lobster fan in the family, I decided to give it a pass.

Back at the resort now, in my favourite spot--on the sofa of the laundromat, underneath the non-stop CNN broadcast on TV and surrounded with warm Wifi signals--I'm glad to sign off for now as more rain looms for the night and the kids watch High School Musical 3 in the next building for the second night in a row.
