It’s the end of August. First, congrats on still being alive! Yay for not dying even though the chances increase every day!

I’m inclined to do a review of the past month, but I’d rather be more creative than that. At least I included a semi-relevant Beatles song. I get points for that, right?

Hiking Grouse Grind

And who doesn’t love food after an intense hike to the top of a mountain, amirite?

Those Darn Little Donuts

I was only gonna list the top three moments, but this deserves to be included. The Fair at the PNE is happening right now, and one of the big draws are those little mini sugar-coated donuts. It was the main reason I went with my sister. That, and to
