@very-rusty saidWhen I was 3, I had a layover in Halifax and my flight was delayed for 8 hours due to a blizzard. Unfortunately, I was dressed in clothes appropriate for the South American country in which I lived at the time. It was an extremely tedious 8 hours.
Many people don't know where Halifax, Nova Scotia, is and when I tell them Canada, some will even ask where Canada is!!! Surprising in this day and age, at least to me.
Also I already have Halifax, Nova Scotia marked on my profile.

@ashiitaka saidYou would have been fine in the airport I am sure! They now have a hotel close by for people such as yourself.

@ashiitaka saidIt was a Coffee pastry place started by Tim Horton back in 1964, who was hockey player. He died about 10 years later in a car crash. There are now outlets from British Columbia to Newfoundland, from one end of Canada to the other.
Tim Horton's?
Tim Horton. ... Miles Gilbert (Tim) Horton, hockey player, entrepreneur (born 12 January 1930 in Cochrane, ON; died 21 February 1974 in St. Catharines, ON). Horton was one of the best defenseman from the National Hockey League's Original Six Era and spent the majority of his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Death. Following a game in Toronto, Tim Horton opted to drive home to Buffalo in his Ford Pantera instead of taking the team bus. In the early hours of 21 February 1974, Horton lost control of his sports car and was killed on the Queen Elizabeth Way highway near St. Catharines.
The cost of a Tim Hortons® franchise varies depending on the restaurant size and location, along with other factors. You must have an estimated $500,000 in net worth and $100,000 in unencumbered funds in order to qualify. Financial requirements may be lower or higher depending on the transaction type.

@handyandy saidThen why are you making idle chatter?
This is a voting thread. It would help attract voters if others refrained from posting idle chatter.
It appears to me it is for the stories and voting both not just a voting thread. Also votes can be sent privately to ponderable. Did you vote Andy? 😉

@drewnogal saidIt would appear that, although in a different order, our reading tastes coincide. 🤔
Such an impressive array of stories; I found it so difficult to vote this year. Well done everyone! You've all worked hard. 🏆
