Now for something completely random!

I did a store locator search on the Tim Horton's website, and within a 50 mile radius of my home, there are OVER 100 locations!

There are 3000+ locations around the country where people can go and get caffinated! That means about 1 location for every 8000 people in our country! If only we had the same number of Doctors per capita perhaps our healthcare system wouldn't be in so much trouble!

I am a huge fan of "Tim's" (as friends and family call it) despite the fact that I have never had even 1 cup of their coffee. Something about Timmy's is so ingrained into the Canadian experience that after a long road trip, no sight is more welcome than those words "Tim Horton's" looming in the distance.

Last year my father and step-mother moved to the country, it is a beautiful drive along a very rural highway to Carleton Place. Between Ottawa and Carleton place there is not much but houses and forest, about 3/4 of the way to their house you come around a big bend and one of the first signs of "civilization' is the Tim Horton's attached to the Petro Canada. It is a marker, a milestone.

Tim Horton's is such a part of the Canadian experience that there is even a Tim's on the Base in Kandahar! Did you know that??

Our troops are comforted in the long months of deployment with Tim Horton's coffee. I think that this is very interesting. Of all the national institutions and luxuries, we export the coffee that runs the nation!

What is it about Tim Hortons that holds our collective attention!
