Here’s an interesting compilation: 70 minutes of (mostly) Russian car collisions, from mild fender-benders to all-out flip-the-car moments, most of which were shot using dashboard-mounted cameras.

I was a regular at Sasloves Meat Market when I lived in Ottawa last summer. They’re a great butcher shop that carries a treat that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else too easily: maple bacon sausages. They’re bacon artistes, so I’m not surprised that they have the sign above.
…the rains continue and the city is flooded. Good thing I visited during the start of the rainy season and not now.
