Hot Diggity Dog

I forgot to mention a story from our tour of Ottawa. For lunch, we went to a hot dog stand in the middle of downtown Ottawa. The sign on the top of the stand reads "Hot Diggity Dog," and working the grill is a man known as Mr. Hot Dog. He's a short, stout man who looks he's from England but talks like he's from the States. He wears white pants with a shirt and a sweater with a massive hole in the elbow. If you could cast a hot dog man for a movie, he would fit the part perfectly. And he's been doing it for 22 years. He's made enough money over the years to be able to buy a house for cash. And he does it year round; at least until his mustard freezes.
