A stop at the #Beavertails stand in the Byward Market in #Ottawa while on a 34 km #bike trip. @Kathryn Barr got a Killaloe Sunrise and I got a Bananarama.

Notable that this business has switched to not taking cash, they accept credit card or debit only. This does prevent the issues of robberies, staff pilfering and also lowers costs over handling cash quite considerably. One recent estimate I saw pegged the cost of cash for retail businesses at over 15% versus 2-3% for credit cards.

@Kathryn Barr and I went to downtown #Ottawa this morning to #skate on the Rink of Dreams. It was great: just cold enough at -5°C and a windchill of -9 with some sunshine. After #skating, the #BeaverTails stand opened at 1100 hrs and Kathryn bought us one each. Hers was a Killaloe Sunrise and mine was a BrWOWnieTM. We ate those while the #Zamboni worked on the ice surface.
