A Theory on Canadian Tempers

[dewline]

Courtesy of John Rogers:

This was compounded by an eerie emotional quiescence I experienced during my first weeks in Canada. I caught myself thinking: "Is this apathy ... or is this just what being relaxed actually feels like?" I just wasn't so angry. But anger, of course is part of what fuels the typing.

Lovely Wife developed an excellent theory. The coffee at Tim Horton's, Canada's ubiquitous coffee chain, is heavily drugged. Canada would be a non-stop raging 28 Days Later apocalypse if not for the fact we're kept sedated. She's working on the screenplay now.

Were it not for the fact that I never drink coffee, I might be inclined to think Mrs. Rogers has a working theory.

Then again, who's to say that the tea brands I regularly enjoy haven't been similarly spiked?

Keep writing, Mrs. Rogers.
