Having spent so much time out of the Disney Bubble this trip, there are two major things that we are seeing everywhere that we don't see at home.

1 - People driving and talking on their cell phones.
This is a big no-no in Ontario. Handheld devices are prohibited. $490 fine and three demerit points.

2 - People smoking on outdoor patios. You don't see this at Disney, so we were surprised that anytime we are having dinner or drinks outside we are surrounded by smokers. In Ontario, it is illegal (since 2015) to smoke on any outdoor patio, whether covered or not. Prior to that, I believe that you could smoke on an outdoor patio provided it wasn't covered.

There you go - two laws you must obey should you ever wish to head North and visit me.

Before that you could smoke any damn place you pleased. Even hospital rooms back in the days when the entire hospital building smelled of ether.

The south, because of it's dependence on the Tobacco crop, especially here in NC, was the last area to decide that smoking might not be as good for you as they imagined. There still is a lot more resistance here then elsewhere and most outdoor locations are still smoking areas. Check out the history of Durham, Winston/Salem and others. So the area between Richmond, VA and So.Carolina basically came into existence because of tobacco. We have no problem with restricting bathroom usage, but, don't mess with the tobacco lobby.

You can't do those things here either. Actually, more aptly put, it is illegal to do them. Jackwagons do both on a regular basis.

You see 1 here but not 2. Smokers here are generally viewed as a lower life form.

I love the look of the Springs area.

Pink - it's not just for tops and coats ....

I said I would reserve judgement until it was done. I did. It is. It stinks.

We'll be back. @7:15 to be precise.

Hubby is bugging me to get another Dooney. I do not need another Dooney, silly boy.

This is the one he likes:

I have the smaller one on the right already.

Between the 20 minute delay for an accident, a five minute detour for a potty break, and the mess that is I-4, we've left it a little late for lunch at POFQ without ruining dinner.

So we are here:

Mr. I-Never-Met-a-Carb-I-Didn't-Like had the holiday turkey sandwich.

I don't like him right now. ;)

With chips.
IMG_2245.JPG

I had the usual - bottled water and a slightly mangled protein bar. Just 3g net carbs.

Don't feel too bad for me though - there will be steak for dinner. :hungry:

I had the holiday turkey sandwich in Vegas last week.

Slurp.
Multiple, multiple times.

Okay, now I want to go on the boat over to POFQ for a little walkies, and someone (not saying who) is miffed, saying he (that's a hint) would have waited and had his sandwich over there.

"It would NOT have wrecked my dinner. I'm not going now. Nope, not gonna do it."

Yeah well, waiting another hour would surely have spoiled my dinner.

Do we head toward the boat dock or not? I guess we'll see.
