    Truckasaurus is the coolest thing, after Chimpmunks. It’s a dragon monster-truck that eats cars and shoots flames. How cool is that ? I discovered it thanks to my workshop friends in Calgary.

    I’m back from the trip. It was awesome and I loved it. I miss Chicago, Minneapolis and Calgary. I’ll keep writing some more posts under the [Voyages] tag, but after that, it’s back to normal… Je suis de retour. Le voyage était génial et j’ai adoré. Chicago, Calgary et Minneapolis me manquent. Je vais continuer…
