This coffee is NOT a double-double.

I want milk. But nothing is open, what with it being a holiday. The Northern and the dep are both closed.
I have trouble wrapping my head around the opening hours up here... everything (and I mean everything) closes weekdays from 12-1. The schools don't even have cafeterias, as everyone goes home at lunch. Canada Post, the bank, the stores... everyhing except restos shuts down.

Saturdays stuff opens at noon and closes around 4-5. Holidays= complete paralysis.

And yet construction work goes on on Saturdays all day long, and in some cases Sunday.

Confusing. I'm just grumpy as there was an alarm going off across the street at either the school, daycare, or Healing Centre last night, and it took the police about an hour to get it to stop wailing. Time for black coffee!!
(The irony being I could probably, if it wasn't hailing outside, just knock on any door in town and any stranger would gladly give me 2 tablespoons of milk for my coffee... I've seen people get to the cash to pay at Diamond's and the Northern, missing 5, 10$ and some random person will reach over and pay for them).
