I Am a Dunce (A Regular Feature): Travel

When I walked into the bedroom, paper in hand, I searched for the funnies. "H6," it said. I promptly read the funnies, leaving Calvin and Hobbes last 'cause it's my favourite. (hint hint wink wink for whoever gets my name for Secret Santa). The week's story-line involved Tracer Bullet, another personal favourite.

Why the funnies first? I once read a study which concluded that people who read the funnies first live longer lives. But that's not really why I read it first. And this is a tangent.

Then I turned the page, not really reading. An ad for a trip to Vegas caught my eye only because Harm was talking about taking a trip to Los Cabos. I thought, hey I could use a vacation from Toronto. I read it. Then I thought, I sure am seeing a lot of travel ads in this paper. Then I looked at the front. It said: "Travel."
