Canada is a Gas

LOOK!  IT'S IVANA!  So yesterday we drove from Seattle up to Vancouver to visit this lovely lady, who was kind enough to show us around her beautiful city.  REUNION TOUR.  We started in Gastown, where Ivana and I had our butts steam cleaned by this clock, and Lizzie found true love with the founder of this area, Gassy Jack.  He was called "gassy" because he talked too much. Talked.  Sure.  He did, however, open the area's first saloon, which is obviously very important.

About the steam clock--it was put up in the 1970s to cover a steam grate , AND TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM SLEEPING THERE IN THE WINTER.  Not very nice, Vancouver.  Though I do love how they're selling it as a heritage spot even though it's only 40 years old.  That is some good marketing.  However, they also allowed their clock to be featured on a Nickelback album, so there is some more poor decision making.
