On Tim Hortons and Massive Axes

Nova Scotia loves Tim Hortons.  Seriously.  And let me tell you...I love it too.  Where else is a 'lunch combo' a sandwich, donut, and coffee?  What kind of combination of foods is that?!  The donuts are a little Krispy Kreme,  but the sandwiches taste 100% homemade.

This has got to be the only food establishment I've come across that actually manages to have more locations in a given area than McDonalds.  I passed about 40 of them, but through a little research I've found over 100 locations in Nova Scotia, the equivalent of about one Tim Hortons for every 7,000 citizens.  Not bad.

While traveling through New Brunswick, I came across yet another "World's Largest..." site, this time for the World's Largest Axe.  I was hoping to run into some locales while there so I could try to convince them that I come from a family of Lumberjacks and that I made the journey some 600 miles just to see this very axe, but for some reason there wasn't a soul there -- surely there should have been a line of cars for something as awe-inspiring as this--no?

This axe towered over the Canadian flag

I was pretty pumped to get my picture taken with this monstrosity
