Canada important info for canadians...

Wow! I don't really need tires, right now, but this is so hard to pass up. Should Sue and I plan to drive up from St. Louis?
 
I am going to get some popcorn and my touk and just sit back and watch this one.

Actually that is toque or tuque if you are French.

In Canada, toque, or tuque is the common name for a knit winter hat. The Canadian English term was assimilated from Canadian French tuque. Toque first appeared in writing around 1870.
The fashion is said to have originated with the coureurs de bois, French and Métis fur traders, who kept their woollen nightcaps on for warmth during cold winter days. Such hats are known in other English-speaking countries by a variety of names, including beanie (American), watch cap or stocking cap; the terms tuque and toque are unique to Canada and northern areas of the United States, close to the Canadian border.
