True

Perhaps, but Krispy Kream puts all other donuts to shame.

(BTW a tim-bit is called a dunkin munchkin in the states, a fried lump of sugary donut dough)

TRUE STORY: Last time I was in the "great white north" I looked in the local phone book for Chatham ON out of curiosity. They had 23 donut shops listed and only 2 places to buy beer. Talk about your priorities.

OVC: Hint when crossing the border back into the states. Be sure your vanagon is clear of any contraband. I've been searched 4 times so far. once took over 4 hours (drug dog barked, but there was nothing for it to find.)
