Yeah, I was in Nippigon (northwestern Ontario) from Sep-Jan in my 17th year,
and there were days I couldn't get from my hotel room to my video arcade on
time (weekends I opened at noon) even with available free cab rides!

Then every day when I got to my arcade, I had to shovel out 2-3 feet of snow,
whether or not it had snowed the night before! (darn drifting!)
